nGenius® InfiniStream®
Dedicated intelligent Deep Packet Capture appliances to support service assurance and unparalleled application and network performance analysis.
Application degradations and subtle intermittent service issues can have a severe impact on business revenue. The nGenius InfiniStream product family is an always-on, intelligent data source enabling critical performance visibility and back-in-time analysis to minimize business-impacting service interruptions.
The nGenius InfiniStream appliances are optimized to perform the following intelligent Deep Packet Capture (iDPC) capabilities:
- Continuously capture packets crossing the wire
- Calculate critical performance statistics on a per conversation basis
- Store packets for back-in-time analysis
- Index records for rapid retrieval
- Perform analysis either standalone or with the nGenius Performance Manager

The nGenius InfiniStream 6900 Series
 The gold standard for packet–flow iDPC storage technologies. Optimized for speed, performance, and resiliency, the 6900 Series provides storage capacity up to 16 TB, redundant power and RAID storage, hot-swappable drives and power supplies, and supports high-capacity links up to 10 GbE.
The new nGenius InfiniStream 2900 Series
 A small-footprint iDPC appliance optimized for lower-utilized links and sized to fit in space-constrained locations. These models include 500 GB of storage for lower capacity links such as service access layers, wiring closets, and medium-sized branch offices.
Provides Packet-Flow Visility
The nGenius InfiniStream appliance is designed to focus on the most robust source of network and application performance data: the packet. Packet-flow information is efficiently captured, indexed, and analyzed as it is seen crossing the wire.
The appliances can operate in either standalone mode, or as a primary data source component of nGenius Performance Manager. As a standalone deployment, the product utilizes the workflow of Sniffer Intelligence to perform back-in-time analysis to understand how critical applications interrelate and to tackle the toughest network problems. Combined with the nGenius Service Assurance Solution, nGenius InfiniStream enables sophisticated monitoring and drill-down capabilities to visualize traffic and provide a proactive approach to networking and service assurance.
