Overview

What is the ExtraHop system?

The ExtraHop Application Delivery Assurance system is a passive network appliance built to ensure that business-critical transactions do not fail.

The ExtraHop system combines the troubleshooting capabilities of Network Performance Managers with the superior application-level visibility of User Experience Monitors. Performing real-time analysis of application transactions across the network, database, and storage tiers, the ExtraHop system accelerates troubleshooting efforts and proactively warns of potential problems.

How is the ExtraHop system different?

The health and performance information needed to manage growing IT complexity is on the wire. The ExtraHop system leverages recent gains in processing power and storage capacity to extract this valuable information and deliver a level of visibility and analysis that only recently has become feasible. While many tools rely on legacy technologies, such as NetFlow collection, SNMP polling, or TCP-header inspection, the ExtraHop system performs full-stream reassembly and full content analysis, processing tens of thousands of transactions simultaneously and in real time.
