Packet Capture & Analytics

Capture every packet.
Solve problems faster.

Overview

See exactly what's happening and understand why.

Network incidents don’t wait for troubleshooting tools to start collecting data. cPacket automatically captures, indexes, and analyzes every packet at line rate – nothing sampled, nothing lost. Continuous capture enables real-time network performance and security monitoring, while preserving the evidence NetOps and SecOps teams need to investigate past issues.  

Available as physical and virtual appliances, cStor packet capture appliances combine powerful compute, storage, and networking to support the most demanding networks. Just as important are cPacket’s real-time analytics, which provide engineers with session metrics and application-level insights to detect and identify the cause of incidents.

See how cPacket puts evidence at your fingertips whenever and wherever an issue occurs.

BENEFITS

Real-time packet evidence when you need it.

Investigate with High-Fidelity Packet Data

Use unsampled network traffic as the source of truth for troubleshooting and forensic analysis.

Respond Without Interrupting Capture

Query and analyze stored traffic while new packets continue flowing to disk.

Retain More Network History

Scale raw storage beyond 2800 TB for longer investigation and compliance windows.

Deploy Wherever you Need Visibility

Capture traffic across physical, virtual, and cloud environments with a consistent operational experience.

KEY Product Features

Lossless, Line-rate Capture

Continuously capture every packet at sustained rates from 10 Gbps to 200 Gbps.

Fast Indexing and Retrieval

Organize and tag packets during capture so engineers can quickly query, retrieve, and analyze relevant traffic.

Real-time Network Analytics

Analyze TCP sessions, flows, Layer-7 protocols, multicast market data and video, and other protocols to monitor performance, capacity, latency, and errors.

Integrated Investigation Workflows

Merge captures, replay packets, and inspect raw PCAP data with integrated Wireshark while capture continues.

Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about network observability and cPacket solutions.

What does cStor Packet Capture do?

cStor appliances records every packet traveling across network to persistent storage, indexes them for retrieval and generates analytics for real-time and historical investigation.

Does cPacket sample network traffic?

No. It automatically captures every packet at line rate, providing complete data for troubleshooting, performance analysis and security investigations.

Can engineers analyze traffic while capture continues?

 
Yes. Simultaneous reading and writing provide access to stored packets without stopping ongoing capture and indexing.

What analytics does cPacket provide?

 
cStor packet capture appliances support TCP and flow analytics, Layer-7 analytics (including HTTP/HTTPS, DNS, SIP, RTP, and others), as well as multicast video analysis and financial market data analytics.

How can Packet Capture be deployed?

It is available as cPacket hardware and as a virtual appliance for industry-standard servers and major cloud environments, including AWS, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure.
