Garland Technology and NextComputing Launch a New Technology Partnership

nextcomputingCompany News

Leading network TAP manufacturer, Garland Technology, has partnered with NextComputing, the premier supplier of open, full packet capture systems. Together, they will provide joint solutions for 100% lossless packet capture for forensics, security and monitoring applications.

Buffalo, NYGarland Technology, the leading manufacturer of network TAPs (test access points) has announced a technology partnership with NextComputing, the premier supplier of open, massively scalable, full packet capture systems.

The partnership began in early 2016 and is rapidly developing to include joint solutions for NextComputing’s Packet Continuum Cluster and Packet Continuum Portable applications. In a recent webinar hosted by the Fuel User Group, Chris Bihary showcased how the integration of Palo Alto’s Next-Gen Firewall, combined with NextComputing’s Packet Continuum Cluster can be utilized with Garland’s EdgeLens®, to facilitate time critical workflows for security incident response.

“It’s exciting to be partners with NextComputing because they are leading the industry with their packet capture systems. Because our Edgelens® is a hybrid bypass TAP and packet broker it can provide identical traffic to an inline NGFW/IPS as well as NextComputing’s off-line Packet Continuum capture appliance. When both devices receive identical traffic streams, it allows for precise correlation of events through extracted PCAP files.” said Chris Bihary, CEO/Co-Founder of Garland Technology.

Garland Technology’s EdgeLens® was designed specifically as a connectivity tool to monitor the network’s edge, and as a centralized management tool for multiple security and management tools.

“The partnership with Garland Technology and their EdgeLens® plus Packet Continuum allows for a variety of use cases, including recording traffic before and after the in-line device. This is beneficial when auditing new policy signatures to ensure they operate correctly,” said John Ricketson, NextComputing’s Executive Vice President.
