CloudShield Selects Shenick for DPI Network Testing

A small percentage of users create the majority of residentially generated traffic, consuming valuable resources which impact service providers’ revenue-generating traffic.  CloudShield’s rule-based, services control solution provides granular visibility into application traffic transiting service providers’ networks and enables traffic policy management. With Shenick’s diversifEye, CloudShield can emulate in real time, even the most elusive application traffic and thereby test and tune its solutions.  CloudShield applications help service providers reduce congestion and operating costs, increase revenue and prevent customer churn.  

“As traffic volume continues to grow, so do service providers’ transit and peering imbalance charges along with their capital expenditure for infrastructure build-outs,” said Peder Jungck, CTO and founder of CloudShield.  “Working with Shenick’s diversifEye gives us the ultimate power to perfect the services we offer service providers’ to manage their traffic flow.   Using diversifEye means we can emulate and identify the most difficult to detect application traffic in a test environment - we also have the critical ability to view each flow in real time.”

“Accurate DPI testing requires testing layers 4 to 7, emulating real, individual users running a range of IP applications including constantly morphing application traffic, not just sending packets across the network,” said Robert Winters, chief marketing officer, Shenick.  “diversifEye can help CloudShield identify all types of traffic on layer 4 to 7 and granularly view applications and individual user flows in a test environment. ”

DPI helps ensure end user quality of service (QoS) and quality of experience (QoE) by managing networks to ensure all traffic types; P2P, video on demand (VoD), VoIP and Web browsing, run seamlessly across networks to deliver fair usage for all.   Shenick is the only company in the market to have the capability to test applications such as IP video, triple play, network security testing, P2P, traffic shaping and IPv4/IPv6 right down to every individual flow.  Added to this, Shenick was the first test equipment vendor to initiate P2P emulation for cause and effect testing for delay sensitive applications such as VoIP, IPTV, VoD, service deployment and even multiple security attacks such as distributed denial of service (DDoS).

Shenick is the proud recipient of Frost & Sullivan’s 2008 Global Innovation Award for its pioneering work on DPI test systems.
