BARCELONA, Spain, March 2, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --Mobile World Congress, Booth #6K20 – Napatech today announced the launch of Pandion, a pre-integrated, pre-tested platform for fast appliance development. Pandion is a capture-to-disk acceleration platform that is a fast, reliable, out-of-the-box engine for real-time capture, indexing and search of network data via industry standard berkeley packet filter (BPF). To learn more, visit solutions.napatech.com.

Designed to accelerate time-to-market for appliance developers, Pandion can be deployed as a stand-alone solution, or customers can add their own unique analysis software through the support of RESTful API and industry standard PCAP.

A necessary emerging technology – On their list of top emerging technologies from now through 2020, Forrester identified "software acceleration platforms" as "an emerging technology necessary to maximize engagement and value for organizations looking to enable innovation and stem the tide of digital competition."

Capture-to-disk is a necessary capability for analysis of high-speed networks – Deep real-time analysis of what is occurring on a network is not always possible. Pandion provides the ability to replay what is happening, exactly as it is happening, allowing more thorough analysis to be performed after the fact.

Customer-inspired solution – Based on customer feedback, Napatech delivers a reliable, high-performance platform that allows for the development of innovative solutions around specific analysis needs.

Troubleshooting performance issues – Telecom, financial services, infrastructure and defense, as well as enterprise management, rely on capture-to-disk technology to detect the source of security breaches or to establish a profile of good network behavior that can be used to drive detection of anomalous behavior. Pandion delivers these capabilities and more, including two configurations of 28TB at 20Gbps or 56TB at 40Gbps.

Peter Ekner, CTO, Napatech, said:
"Pandion is a true customer-inspired solution. We work very closely with our OEM customers whose main value-add to their capture-to-disk solutions is the analysis software. By providing a powerful, pre-configured software-ready platform, we can help our customers focus on software innovation and at the same time achieve a much faster time-to-market with their end products. We are excited about the opportunities Pandion will bring to our customers and what doors it will open for us."

Pandion demonstrations are available at Napatech's Mobile World Congress Booth #6K20, March 2-5, 2015, 9am-7pm.
