These upgrades, supported by analytics, provide IT teams situational insight and forensic capabilities required to make informed, data-driven decisions. The ExtraHop Platform’s analytics-first workflow now scales to deliver 40Gbps line-rate continuous packet capture, while flexible licensing models for storage eliminate the data tax for extended lookback, saving up to 50 percent over traditional Network Performance Monitoring and Diagnostics (NPMD) tools.
With the latest updates, ExtraHop flips the traditional network analytics model on its head with an analytics-first approach that delivers real-time visibility into the performance, availability, and security of every IT system, from the edge to the cloud. IT teams can easily and rapidly be investigated from high-level performance metrics to individual transactions to packets in a matter of clicks rather than hours. The following new capabilities are included in ExtraHop version 6.2:
? 40Gbps line-rate continuous packet capture -- four times faster than any other NPMD vendor -- provides visibility at scale for the digital enterprise.
? Extended storage model offers lookback at up to 50 percent less than competitive NPMD offerings, eliminating the data tax associated with the forensic investigation of performance and security issues.
? New continuous packet capture for virtual environments extends visibility everywhere IT assets reside, providing a unified, all-up view of every transaction occurring within the organisation.
? Audience-specific dashboards that surface analytics based on LDAP privileges, giving teams access to the data they need securely.
? The addition of nested queries to visual query language simplify transaction record search.
? Integration with ServiceNow further simplifies the process, automatically ticketing and triaging events to keep IT teams focused on the most critical issues.
“The transformation from reactive to proactive cannot happen without technologies to support it, and the traditional packets-first NPMD model has rendered proactive, strategic operations virtually impossible,” said Jesse Rothstein, CTO and co-founder of ExtraHop. “At ExtraHop, we’ve recognised from the beginning that the scale, complexity, and dynamism of modern IT couldn’t be addressed with post-hoc analysis of data. Modern IT demands analytics that are real-time, at scale, as well as intelligent, actionable, and predictive. This is a new era for analytics, and ExtraHop continues to push the envelope far beyond legacy NPMD products.”
