Click&DECiDE and Qosmos announced a working partnership that will provide solution providers with unprecedented capabilities to view and analyze IP data and metadata captured by Qosmos’ line of Network Intelligence technology. The joint solution will power a host of value-added applications for network and security infrastructure vendors supporting telco, government and enterprise markets. A connector to interface Qosmos data with Click&DECiDE architecture has already been developed and demonstrated to key prospects.
Qosmos technology identifies and extracts information traveling over networks in real time, providing a true picture of its purpose, use and value. Going beyond traditional Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) technology, Qosmos’ software development kits and streaming probes are integrated into third-party solutions where real-time intelligence is critical, such as for cyber security, lawful interception, traffic optimization, content billing, service assurance, market research and more. Click&DECiDE’s visualization and point-and-click ability to drill down into the data structures extracted by Qosmos Network Intelligence helps developers, users, and decision makers alike to make sense out of data that is in constant motion.
The combination makes the network and security infrastructure an actionable source of information in and of itself, and gives application and service providers better insight into the performance of their solutions. ?Click&DECiDE allows Qosmos users to maximize their visibility into network data,? said Erik Larsson, VP Marketing at Qosmos. ?Unlike typical BI tools, the Click&DECiDE architecture is specifically designed to analyze the type of data that Qosmos extracts. For example, the analysis can strengthen cybersecurity solutions by easily drilling down into specific communication sessions, thus providing better Root Cause Analysis and a second line of defense to corporate or government networks. Click&DECiDE’s capability to filter, enrich, and structure extracted data is a strong asset for fully leveraging Qosmos Network Intelligence.
In addition to Qosmos Network Intelligence, Click&DECiDE technology integrates with network and security devices such as firewalls, VPNs, proxies, IPS, IDS, Web Server and anti-virus products and provides an array of powerful capabilities for data management, data correlations, real-time visual dashboards, data drilldown, ad hoc reporting and automatic alerts. ?Our relationship with Qosmos combines highly complementary solutions—Qosmos for extracting information and Click&DECiDE for analyzing and reporting it —which offers tremendous value to our joint customers,? said Marc Hudavert, President & CEO of Click&DECiDE. ?We deliver the unique ability to bring business intelligence to network and security data, at a time when such visibility has never been more important to the performance and profitability of today’s global networks.
