Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) Application Platform
Bivio’s DPI Application Platforms, the Bivio 7000 Series, are a family of compact, extremely high-performance, and fully programmable network appliances that combine a unique packet processing hardware architecture with a software platform that includes a standard Linux-based execution environment and a comprehensive set of networking features. Designed specifically to provide wire speed deep packet processing, the Bivio 7000 Series architecture fuses Network Processing components with Application Processing CPUs to deliver uncompromising performance and unmatched flexibility. The platform family includes two main product groups that provide performance optimized features to deliver true line rate packet processing from 4 Gbps to more than 10 Gbps throughput using seamless scaling technology.
The Ideal Cyber Security Platform
The Bivio 7000 Series platforms are fully programmable systems that allow any Linux-based networking application to run on the appliance with little or no porting effort. By basing the platforms on a standard, pre-ported Linux distribution with full API compatibility, software developers can quickly and easily run applications within hours of unpacking the device. A rich set of software infrastructure components further allow developers to quickly realize advanced capabilities of the platform including robust traffic management, load distribution across the multiple Application Processor CPUs, high availability and system management integration.
Continuous Threat Monitoring
The Bivio 7000 Series platforms deliver a continuous monitoring solution that represents the next generation of monitoring and cyber security network systems. Unlike existing monitoring systems that rely on a single mode of threat detection (such as pattern matching), the continuous threat monitoring solution from Bivio is a multi-function, high-performance network monitoring probe designed to provide the best possible defense against known and unknown attacks, often grouped as “advanced persistent threats”. By aggregating multiple state-of-the-art monitoring engines in a single solution, Bivio's continuous threat monitoring solution provides a significantly greater threat detection coverage than competing solutions, ensuring superior protection for customers.

Leveraging the Power of 3rd Party and Open Source Applications
Government agency, service provider and commercial enterprise IT and Security Managers want to leverage 3rd party and open source applications within their networks. Rapid deployment of such applications on high performance platforms reduces overall IT costs while delivering state of the art network monitoring, analysis and security solutions.
Easy Access, Installation & Start Up of Open Source Monitoring, Analysis and Security Applications
Bivio Networks has significantly reduced the time, effort and resources required to identify, source and deploy open source applications for network monitoring, analysis and security solutions. Our Application Library makes available to IT Managers instant access to market leading 3rd party and open source applications certified on Bivio 7000 Platforms.
