Reservoir Labs & Tilera Unveil A New Generation In Cyber Security

NEW YORK, May 7, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Reservoir Labs today announced the general availability of a new line of R-Scope® network security appliances.  These powerful cyber-security devices provide real-time threat detection and network security monitoring solutions scaling to 100+ Gbps.  R-Scope appliances leverage and extend the state-of-the-art open source Bro¹ analytics language, empowering analysts to develop custom network security analytics tailored to their environment.  As a result, R-Scope DOMINATE™ and R-Scope PACE™ next-generation cyber security appliances deliver a degree of attack discrimination and situational awareness that is beyond the reach of traditional signature-based IDS/IPS systems.

"We are excited to extend the use of this DOE sponsored research for adaptive cyber defense to the commercial market," said Reservoir Labs President, Richard Lethin. "R-Scope technology, boosted by the unique Tilera architecture, enables enterprise IT security engineers to implement powerful analytics to detect attackers, vulnerabilities and persistent threats both within the enterprise LAN and at network borders.  R-Scope closes a gap between growing network communication rates and the agility, depth, and variety of cyber defenses needed to expose and neutralize modern cyber threats."

Built on Tilera's revolutionary TILExtreme-Gx™ 144 and 288 core platforms, the R-Scope DOMINATE-T appliances deliver unparalleled performance and power efficiency for 100+ Gbps deep packet inspection, policy-based flow analysis, and cluster load balancing across multiple systems for intelligent, high-speed cyber security network monitoring and situational awareness.  The R-Scope DOMINATE-T's agility allows it to be flexibly configured to operate stand-alone or synergistically across an enterprise network within a security cluster to dynamically update security policies and share analysis load.

"The TILE-Gx based R-Scope cyber security solution, topping 100Gbps performance, sets a new industry record," said Michael Zimmerman, Vice President of Marketing at Tilera. "The flexible cyber security suite is designed with Tilera's Multicore Development Environment™ (MDE) software tool suite that accelerates C and C++/Linux based software development and optimization."

For lower than 100Gbps throughput needs, R-Scope PACE-T appliances, built on Tilera's TILEmpower-Gx72, deliver sophisticated threat detection, traffic analysis and situational awareness at up to 40Gbps.  TILE-Gx72™ is the highest compute processor in the market, with 72 cores and an integrated 120 million packet-per-second packet processing front end. R-Scope's modular architecture enables the R-Scope PACE appliances to work seamlessly in clustered configurations with other R-Scope PACE or DOMINATE appliances to scale deployed solutions to the needs of the network. 

As part of today's announcement, Reservoir also highlighted their ongoing cyber-security research and testing collaboration with the U.S. Department of Energy's National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center (NERSC). 

Using the 100 Gbps network research testbed operated by DOE's Energy Sciences Network (ESnet), Reservoir is working closely with the cutting-edge, cyber-security researchers at NERSC to advance the state-of-the-art in high performance network security. 

"This is exactly the type of proof-of-concept work ESnet's Testbed was designed to support," said Brian Tierney, Principal Investigator of the Testbed. "By coupling the ESnet testbed with the NERSC production traffic, we can do a realistic test on how this device will perform with real traffic at 100Gbps."
