USE CASES
CAPTURE DATA / LOW COST
The nPulse innovative solution provides a
cost effective way to capture traffic at 20
Gbps rates without packet loss and stores all
packets for as long as you require.
NEVER MISS EVENTS
Troubleshooting after the fact often
requires setting up packets captures and
waiting for re-occurrence; with nPulse your
network operation center will have all the
data to troubleshoot immediately after the
event.
FAST ACTIONABLE INTELLIGENCE
Retrospective analysis for incident response
or forensic analysis can be performed very
fast by quickly identifying the appropriate
flows and packets.
OPEN ARCHITECTURE WITH PCAP
The nPulse API provides the ability to use
your existing analysis tools and provides
a wireshark familiar web gui for packet
analysis.

OVER VIEW
More than ever, IT Managers and Network Administrators require effective solutions to
ensure the smooth operation of today’s complex and expanding networks.
Network engineers require a toolkit that provides effective monitoring and quick
troubleshooting so that when network incidents arise, business operations are not
disrupted, and actionable solutions are identified quickly.
Security incidents can be very disruptive to a business reliant on IT services. Capturing all
traffic passing through a network can provide a solution to allow for retrospective forensic
network analysis in order to formulate a network incident or security incident response.
Capturing and storing all traffic passing through today’s networks is no easy task.
High Point Solution is making this task easier in networks around the world
and has partnered with nPulse Technologies and NetApp to provide a cost
effective, high performing and easy to use solution.
Coupling these technologies enables the network services teams to effectively
monitor, store and analyze more network traffic than any other solution.
SOLUTION FEATURES
nPulse CPX has the ability to capture all traffic without any packet loss up to 20Gbps and
store it for quick search and retrieval in cost effective solution.
Real-time indexing of all captured flows and rapid search and retrieval of packets allows
the analysis teams to quickly identify and review the relevant traffic while sorting through
terabytes or petabytes of recorded data.
The ability to perform root-cause analysis for critical incidents greatly reduce the time your
expert engineers spend troubleshooting and allows them to focus on providing innovative
IT solutions for the business.
