Architecture

An all-in-one solution, ExtraHop features an architecture purpose-built for massively scalable transaction analysis.

The ExtraHop platform is engineered from the ground up to provide IT operational intelligence, including powerful application performance monitoring (APM) and network performance monitoring (NPM) capabilities without the complexity and cost of traditional APM and NPM offerings. Rather than using legacy technologies, such as NetFlow collection, SNMP polling, custom performance agents, or active service checks, the ExtraHop platform takes a unique network-based approach to gathering the real-time operational intelligence needed to manage application and infrastructure performance. The ExtraHop platform performs full-stream reassembly and full-content analysis of network traffic to extract performance and health metrics. Unlike other products, the ExtraHop platform analyzes application transactions continuously and in real time, at speeds up to a sustained 20Gbps.
