Myricom Joins the Network Intelligence Alliance

ARCADIA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Myricom, the technology leader in extreme-performance 10-Gigabit Ethernet solutions specialized for vertical markets, today announced that it has become a member of the Network Intelligence Alliance (NI Alliance), an industry organization created for collaboration among the Network Economy’s technology providers. Participation in the NI Alliance will help Myricom to build and market innovative solutions for customers seeking to improve integration and performance while reducing costs of cyber-security solutions.

    “Companies joining the alliance such as Myricom play a leadership role in their respective areas of expertise that will enable organizations to most effectively apply Network Intelligence to better manage, protect and profit from their data networks.”

Myricom’s Sniffer10GTM 2.0 cyber-security software paired with Myricom’s 10-Gigabit Ethernet adapters provides lossless packet capture and injection at full line rate. The extreme performance of this networking solution provides leading-edge features such as lossless packet capture, support for up to 32 concurrent receive buffers, and precision time stamping for all packets, but is also value priced, roughly 1/8 the price of complicated, specialized Ethernet security adapters.

In today’s Network Economy - a world that now 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. Just like Business Intelligence solutions emerged to unlock information hidden in the enterprise, Network Intelligence technology is an emerging category of technology to reveal the critical details of the data locked inside network traffic and transactions.

The NI Alliance serves two purposes: first, as a forum for collaboration among technology providers whose solutions secure data in transit, ensure efficient data delivery, monetize data transactions or track real-time information. Through the NI Alliance, members can better serve their customers.

The NI Alliance also seeks to educate the market and the public on the role and value of Network Intelligence in protecting sensitive information; delivering value-added services, applications and information; and ensuring better performance of network-dependent solutions.

“We are excited to be part of the NI Alliance, and to have the opportunity to work closely with other members,” said Nan Boden, CEO of Myricom. “We can make a huge contribution to business and government if we can help educate the market and the public on the role of network intelligence in protecting sensitive information; delivering value-added services, applications and information; and ensuring better performance of network-dependent solutions.

“Myricom is a valuable addition to the NI Alliance and we welcome their participation,” said Erik Larsson, Chairman of the NI Alliance. “Companies joining the alliance such as Myricom play a leadership role in their respective areas of expertise that will enable organizations to most effectively apply Network Intelligence to better manage, protect and profit from their data networks.”
