Vineyard Networks, along with Napatech (News - Alert) this week demonstrated a new 10 Gbps Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) enabled platform designed for OEM builders.

“We’re talking about full traffic analysis, DPI and full line-rate 10 Gbps application recognition using only four cores on a standard multi-core server,” said Jason Richards, CEO at Vineyard Networks. “We can do full inspection by integrating Napatech intelligent network adapters with our DPI engine, running on a standard Intel (News - Alert)-based server, that can scale on a per-CPU core basis to 40Gbps and beyond, with industry leading application coverage and accuracy.”
