Emulex Joins Network Intelligence Alliance

Emulex Corporation has become a
member of the Network Intelligence Alliance
(NI Alliance), a new industry organization created for collaboration among the
Network Economy’s technology providers.

The NI Alliance serves as a forum for collaboration among technology providers
whose solutions secure data in transit, ensure data delivery,
monetize data transactions or track real-time information.

Participation in the NI Alliance will help Emulex continue to build, market and
broaden its innovative High Performance Networking (HPN) solutions including
the new Emulex OneConnect Network Xceleration (NX) OCe12000-D family of 10GbE network adapters and FastStack Sniffer10G software.

The OneConnect NX family provides 10G line rate with lossless
packet capture and injection, regardless of packet size. This capability is
critical in cyber and network security applications, such as deep packet inspection
(DPI), as any dropped packets can potentially compromise the effectiveness of
an organization’s network security efforts.

The Emulex NX solution with FastStack Sniffer10G integrates into standard
x86-based server platforms to provide cost-effective
deep packet probes for solution vendors who provide the next generation of
network monitoring and lawful intercept solutions for carriers and service
providers requiring performance, yet cost-effective DPI solutions.

"Joining the NI Alliance
gives us the opportunity to collaborate with other companies in addressing
their network performance needs where extreme performance is required, such as
cyber and network security or High Frequency Trading," said Shaun
Walsh, SVP of marketing and business development, Emulex. "Today’s electronically-connected world
leaves businesses open to network attacks but being able to quickly capture and
analyze packets without disrupting other server operations is possible with an
HPN. The NI Alliance will enable us to expand our reach with HPN solutions that
deliver extreme performance and reduce the risk for security attacks."

In a world that depends and runs on networks – accurate
visibility and precise tracking of data crossing networks have become crucial
to the availability, performance and security of applications and services. The
growing complexity of IP transactions, the explosion of mobile applications,
and the mainstream adoption of cloud computing surpass the capabilities of
conventional tools to improve how networks operate, expand services, and cope
with cyber security.

Network Intelligence technology is an emerging category of technology to reveal
the details of the data locked inside network traffic and
transactions.

"Emulex is a valuable
addition to the NI Alliance and we welcome their participation," said
Erik Larsson, chairman of the NI Alliance. "By joining the NI Alliance, Emulex increases its commitment to
customers with greater capabilities to identify, develop and support
innovative, more comprehensive solutions based on Network Intelligence."
