How the DPI engine R&S®
“We appreciated ipoque's support from our startup days and we knew that there were others globally working with their solutions. For us, this meant that Rohde & Schwarz’ DPI library would keep growing, enabling us to secure SD-WANs proactively and in real time. Our investment in R&S®PACE 2 has paid off early because of their knowledge of DPI and the high-value support that Rohde & Schwarz provides.”

The need: reliable traffic classification for DPI-enhanced security
Today, developers of SD-WANs face multiple challenges. One of these challenges is ensuring that modern networks are fully enabled to manage company traffic policies to allow or block traffic. A second challenge is managing obfuscated traffic flows. Obfuscation is the use of advanced methods to hide potentially disruptive protocols or applications. Meeting these challenges requires sophisticated traffic monitoring and DPI.
Providing DPI-enhanced security across SD-WANs for cloud and branch offices
Nubewell was able to address the dual challenges of ensuring company policies for traffic (allowed or blocked) and eliminating obfuscation by using the R&S®PACE 2 DPI feature set. ipoque's DPI software delivers a mature set of capabilities that helped Nubewell develop solutions that enable firewall policies and provide complete visibility, decoding both protocol and application traffic. Nubewell decided on the Rohde & Schwarz DPI solution based on its professional quality and the close and versatile working relationship between the companies. Running seamlessly on Nubewell’s Octeon core, R&S®PACE 2 integration was smooth and the results exceeded performance expectations. With R&S®PACE 2 and the Rohde & Schwarz team at their side, Nubewell was able to enter the SD-WAN market swiftly, securely, and successfully.
