Corvil makes network data available across IT teams

Network data is an increasingly important resource for IT teams, particularly when it comes to analyzing and resolving security threats. But unlocking the potential of that data can be difficult.

Dublin-based analytics specialist Corvil is launching a new platform that unlocks the power of network data, with an intuitive and customizable user interface and a new data automation engine that dramatically reduces the time, expense, and complexity of working with network data.

The Corvil Tera Release adds a new portfolio of real-time security analytics, giving network operations, application operations and security operations teams an accurate and collaborative, real-time picture of critical service chains across their business.

"We believe that the most effective way for IT to assure and safeguard the delivery of critical applications, services, and data to the business is for all IT teams involved to have a common, trusted, granular source of shared data," says Donal Byrne, CEO of Corvil. "Network data is widely regarded as the most granular and powerful source of real-time data that can be used for this purpose. The challenge is to make network data analytics super-easy, cost-effective and widely available to all. We believe that our new Tera Release achieves this objective with our customers reporting up to 90 percent reduction in time for IT Ops to see, analyze and act on critical business application flows at a cost that is less than what the network team traditionally spends on legacy network probes".

Key features of the product include a new HTML5-based user interface with polished, intuitive, and customizable dashboards that have been optimized to perform workflows for multiple teams. The Tera data engine automatically discovers application and business data flows within raw network data with zero configuration. The data in these flows is decoded, transformed, and self-populated into tables and graphical widgets, giving the full picture for what is happening across a business in real-time.

The new Tera release also seamlessly integrates live threat intelligence and real-time network forensics with leading SIEM (security, information and event management) platforms. It’s fully user programmable so that customers can decide for themselves how much data to keep, and for how long. In addition, the Tera Release now supports a broader array of connectors for streaming Corvil data to big data platforms such as Cloudera Enterprise Data Hub.
