Vineyard Networks Upgrades Application Intelligence For OEMs, Service Providers: Page 2 of 2

Vineyard Networks has announced the latest version of its application intelligence engine, which it sells to service providers as well as into the OEM security and network vendor markets. The Network Application Visibility Layer (NAVL) library now features thousands of applications, provides a custom application definition interface to add proprietary apps, and optimizes performance for standard multiprocessor hardware.

Vineyard also anticipates a big market opportunity among telecommunications service providers. The providers have put most of their energy into developing faster transmission from mobile device to tower, but not on the back end when the traffic is converted to IP.

"Application usage over mobile networks is skyrocketing, and those apps require bandwidth," Richards says. "Their networks are not built to handle this type of data. The backbones of their networks are being overwhelmed." Telecomms can also leverage application intelligence to facilitate billing for specialized app services, such as social media packages and streaming video.

NAVL version 2.7 adds a large number of applications to the library, and provides an interface to easily add custom applications, which are so prevalent among enterprises. The engine architecture has been optimized for multiprocessor/multi-core to support greater than 10Gbps speed on off-the-shelf x86 hardware.
