Adding a Napatech SmartNIC while reusing existing infrastructure and servers for the lowest cost possible, Symantec DLP performance is accelerated to handle as much as 4 x 900 Mbps. This dramatically increases confidence in the data loss protection system. By offloading heavy pre-processing and filtering tasks, the SmartNIC provides a 10x performance gain and enables users to scale their DLP solution to its maximum and continually protect and secure their enterprise data.

With the existing server infrastructure fueled by Napatech SmartNICs, an enterprise's DLP performs faster, with zero packet loss. This is achieved at minimal cost and effort, compared to the alternative of integrating multiple servers and costly load balancers. Benefits of using Napatech SmartNICs include:

• Major performance boost: A 10x increase in DLP monitoring performance keeps pace with insatiable network bandwidth growth; simply adding an advanced SmartNIC to existing infrastructure improves ROI.
• Improved accuracy: 100% packet capture guarantees full visibility and control of network traffic to the application, removing blind spots.
• Enhanced security: This integration provides longer retention times to make sure nothing is missed during the busiest and burstiest periods.
• Easy deployment: The SmartNICs are seamlessly integrated with Symantec DLP, ensuring plug-and-play deployment.
• Fits any interface: Napatech SmartNICs can interface to 1G copper, 1G fiber, 10G, 25G, 40G, 50G, 100G infrastructures.

Philip Søeberg, director of product management, Napatech, said: "Organizations that manage and store sensitive data are bound both by SLA and multiple regulations to keep that data secure and private. The need to protect intellectual property and customer information is enormous, but today's traffic can exceed server capacity. Our FPGA SmartNIC software and hardware provide the speed and zero packet loss enterprises need to optimally run their DLP solution and achieve maximum data security."
