Revolutionize Network and Application Management with ExtraHop

Tap into the power of your network today with the innovative ExtraHop Application Delivery Assurance solution. ExtraHop is a comprehensive visibility solution for your entire application environment. The ExtraHop system enables Network Engineering and Application Support teams to speed troubleshooting, tune for performance, and optimize capacity planning.

How It Works

The ExtraHop system is a one-hundred percent passive network appliance that is designed to deploy rapidly, with no agents and no configuration needed.

ExtraHop starts working for you in four simple steps:

1. Connect the ExtraHop appliance to your network, set up a management IP, and hang it off of a SPAN or network tap.
2. The ExtraHop system auto-discovers all servers and devices on your network and starts to track performance metrics.
3. The ExtraHop system examines every transaction, every round-trip response, and every error message, with the system extracting performance metrics and writing them to the ExtraHop dynamic data store
4. Open the ExtraHop web or mobile user interface and start surfing performance metrics. Drill up, down, or sideways to details for any specific application, device, protocol, stored procedure, or error.

ExtraHop helps both network and application teams navigate and pinpoint their most difficult performance issues by harnessing the wealth of data that flows through the network in a simple non-intrusive manner with incredible scale. At its core is a complete application-fluent engine with intuitive diagnostics that turn data into something meaningful and actionable.

Architectural Components

The ExtraHop system is comprised of four components:

Networking microkernel—Captures and processes all transactions simultaneously and in real time, reassembling all data streams and surfacing the most useful metrics.

Intelligent protocol framework—Deciphers network traffic based on the supported protocols and highlights protocol-specific metrics that are relevant to application and network performance.

Dynamic data store—Archives vast volumes of performance metrics in real time, at disruptive speeds.

Rich web UI—Enables easy navigation and rapid drilldowns to individual applications, devices, protocols, and even specific errors and stored procedures.
