Extremely Powerful

Packet Capture (PCAP) Express dramatically boosts the performance of network security and monitoring applications by transparently balancing computationally-intensive operations between FPGA-based acceleration modules and multi-core processors. This design frees up CPU resources, enabling applications to easily sustain throughput rates of 1.5 million packets (64 byte) per second per gigabit port.

Extraordinarily Simple

PCAP Express is an implementation of the industry standard packet capture (PCAP) application programming interface (API) widely used in network monitoring and security applications. Unlike other hardware acceleration technologies that force developers to adopt a new development tool-chain and learn a proprietary API, PCAPx seamlessly accelerates PCAP-aware applications on standard commodity hardware without requiring modifications to application source code.

Exceptional Value

PCAP Express is the industry's leading hardware-accelerated implementation of PCAP. With a simple recompile, developers and solution providers can boost the performance of their applications within hours rather than weeks. With shorter time to market, higher throughput rates, and a starting price of just $2,470, PCAP Express adapters are the most cost-effective hardware-accelerated packet capture and processing tools on the market today.
