In high-throughput network environments where every millisecond counts, uncompromised visibility is paramount. Whether diagnosing microbursts, pinpointing latent performance bottlenecks, or executing forensic investigations, reliable, uninterrupted traffic capture is a foundational requirement. The IOTA 100 CORE is purpose-built for core infrastructure, expansive branch locations, and data center deployments. It delivers ultra-high-speed packet capture and advanced analytics, equipping network engineers with the precision and agility needed for rapid issue identification, root-cause analysis, and resolution at scale.
Complete packet insight at 100G: The IOTA 100 CORE features dual 40/100G out-of-band capture interfaces, enabling persistent, lossless network traffic monitoring. This architecture supports both real-time and retrospective analysis, delivering comprehensive transparency across all network events. Built for central aggregation points that handle diverse traffic streams, the system sustains 100 Gbps write-to-disk capture, even during erratic or high-burst scenarios. High-density packet acquisition at full line rate ensures that operational visibility is never compromised, regardless of network load or traffic volatility.
Engineered for sustained capture
Capturing traffic at 100 Gbps consistently presented multiple engineering challenges. The system must be able to process large volumes of data in real time while maintaining performance across both software and hardware. From CPU throughput to disk I/O, each component is optimized for high-speed, continuous operation. The IOTA 100 CORE has a carefully designed architecture to handle this complexity and avoid packet loss under sustained load. The focus of the IOTA 100 CORE solution is to deliver accurate packet capture at all times.
Key features
IOTA 100 CORE combines advanced hardware engineering with intelligent analytics software to deliver comprehensive, real-time insights across ultra-high-speed networks:
PTPv2 nanosecond timestamping
This provides exceptionally precise packet time-stamping, enabling accurate reconstruction of network events to support detailed forensic investigations, compliance reporting, and latency analysis for time-sensitive applications.
Integrated ring buffer architecture
This ensures constant, uninterrupted packet capture, even during sudden traffic surges. By maintaining rolling storage on high-performance internal SSDs, this design ensures that critical data is never lost.。
Metadata extraction
Keeping only the metadata significantly reduces the necessary storage volume size by intelligently capturing only the most relevant data points.
Sophisticated real-time filtering
Filtering happens during traffic capture, only keeping the desired data allows the engineer to analyse the traffic in near real-time.
Extract key performance indicators(KPIs)
Empowers network engineers with granular, actionable intelligence needed for rapid diagnostics and strategic planning. These KPIs cover network health, performance, utilization, security posture, and behavioral trends.
Comprehensive, integrated dashboards
Present these metrics visually for both live troubleshooting and historical analysis, streamlining workflows and supporting data-driven decision-making.
These capabilities enable network teams to quickly identify high-bandwidth users ("top talkers"), detect performance irregularities and security threats, and proactively mitigate risks.
Engineers can maintain peak operational reliability and respond swiftly to evolving network conditions with intuitive dashboards and rich, contextual metadata.
Storage designed for core network demands
Designed for environments with long retention or detailed analysis needs, IOTA 100 CORE is built for scale. It is available in four SSD storage options: 32, 64, 128, and 307 TB, all configured in RAID 5 for performance and redundancy.
Flexible Deployment, Seamless Management
