COPENHAGEN, Denmark, Aug. 19, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Napatech's (OSE: NAPA) recent announcement on the availability of its 100G accelerator addressed industry concerns for managing high-traffic networks in an increasingly mobile world. When combined with its end-to-end Napatech Software Suite, the company significantly addresses the complexity of managing multiple accelerators with one "single pane of glass" view. This strategy aligns with a recent industry report from research firm The 451 Group, which states that increasing complexity and speed in networks has pushed network visibility and monitoring (NVM) tools to a higher level of relevance.

Napatech's 1G to 100G accelerators allow network equipment manufacturers to more easily manage network environments:

NVM, a billion dollar industry – The 451 research report, entitled "Network Visibility and Monitoring: What's Going on in There, Anyway," states that the NVM market is expected to grow threefold from $1 to $3 billion by 2018 and will be driven primarily by long-term evolution (LTE) service providers that will have an increasing need to analyze data traffic.
End-to-end network management and visibility solution – Napatech Software Suite addresses complexity and provides a wealth of features and capabilities:
- Works in tandem with the company's 1 to 100 Gbps accelerators to offer the same features and capabilities regardless of speed, for end-to-end consistency.
- Identifies up to eight network accelerators in an appliance through hardware abstraction, making them appear as one.
- Merges captured data from multiple accelerators into a single stream for analysis.
- Shares data between multiple customer applications, without the need for replication, and provides a single application programming interface (API) for analysis application developers, allowing for fast integration of new accelerators.

Dan Joe Barry, vice president of marketing, Napatech, said:
"Network appliance vendors must find a way to reliably increase performance at connections up to 100 Gbps while reducing risk and time-to-market. They must also effectively manage and secure networks while still handling a varied portfolio of 1, 10, 40 or even 100 Gbps products. When combined with Napatech Software Suite, our accelerators offer the same functionality and capabilities across all speeds on an end-to-end basis, keeping our customers one step ahead of the data growth curve."
