Texas A&M's Real Time Distributed Systems Lab is reportedly using Bivio Networks 7500 DPI networking platform to support network defense research.

The Real Time Distributed Systems Lab was established to develop an advanced computing framework that enables next-generation network defense and protection solutions for large-scale network threats.

In a release, Dr. Steve Liu, computer science professor and director of the Real Time Distributed Systems Lab at Texas A&M University, noted the high-risk, high return research conducted at their facility.

 

The authorities evaluated a number of network appliance vendors and decided to deploy a solution that provided one of the most appropriate and flexible computing and networking architectures. They will use this solution to implement their advanced algorithms for enterprise network security management.

 

A Bivio Networks (News - Alert) DPI-enabled platform has solved many problems for the Lab. Prior to the implementation, the researchers struggled with the limitations of their legacy system, which impeded the use of ever more sophisticated algorithms used to identify and track unknown and new patterns in network traffic.

 

These problems are solved by the Bivio platform that provides an architecture with multi-dimensional networking and computational scaling capabilities to analyze large amounts of diverse network traffic at line rates.

 

Dr. Elan Amir (News - Alert), president and CEO, Bivio Networks expressed his company’s delight to partner with Texas A&M and the Real Time Distributed Systems Lab. The company will help the research team identify innovative, holistic approaches to today's most pressing challenges in systems design and modeling as well as bio-medical measurement and characterization.

 

"The selection of the Bivio 7500 demonstrates that our DPI-enabled networking platforms are well-suited to operate in the most demanding research environments."

 

Bivio Networks was in news earlier this year for launching its Application Services Gateway (News - Alert) (ASG). Their first DPI-based multi-application service platform is targeted to wireline and mobile service providers, and addresses both next- generation subscriber services creation and network infrastructure protection and management.
