FlowMagic-3200

Scale-out and scale-up traffic capture, storage, and retrospective analysis in a 2U visibility platform.

Scale-out packet capture for enterprise visibility

FlowMagic-3200 is a 2U rack-mount traffic visibility and analytics appliance built for packet capture, record generation, metadata extraction, and retrospective troubleshooting. The platform scales from internal hot-swappable storage to attached shelves and network-attached repositories, while keeping direct wire-to-view workflows in the same system.

Model variants

  • FlowMagic-3200-12: 12 x 3.5" hot-swappable drive bays
  • FlowMagic-3200-24: 24 x 2.5" hot-swappable drive bays
  • Up to 6 high-performance traffic capture and processing modules
  • RAID support included for resilient storage configurations

Traffic and storage profile

  • Up to 200Gbps line-rate packet capture
  • Up to 16Gbps sustained capture to HDD storage
  • Up to 100Gbps sustained capture to SSD storage
  • Up to 200Gbps sustained capture with NVMe storage profiles

Storage and deployment flexibility

Choose the internal media profile that matches retention and ingest targets, then extend the platform with shelf storage or NFS-based repositories as workflows grow.

Storage options

  • 12-bay platform optimized for 3.5" capture media
  • 24-bay platform optimized for 2.5" SSD or high-density flash workflows
  • Support for up to 4 external storage shelves
  • Network-attached storage repository support through NFS

Application fit

  • Network data recording and analytic infrastructure
  • Traffic analysis and metadata extraction
  • Network health monitoring and characterization
  • Traffic capture, analysis, and replay
  • Security compliance assurance and QoS monitoring

Capture, analysis, and service workflows

The FlowMagic-3200 platform can place each traffic interface into a role that matches the deployment, from capture to service chaining to archival storage handoff.

Interface roles

  • Capture ports
  • Traffic ingress ports
  • Traffic egress ports
  • NetFlow record export interfaces
  • Network-attached storage connectivity

Deployment modes

  • SPAN, TAP, and optical splitter visibility points
  • Works alongside FlowDirector or other packet brokers
  • Inline deployment mode with mirrored bidirectional traffic
  • Service chaining between packet broker, capture, and analytics functions

Packet handling services

  • Packet slicing and packet tag insertion
  • Autonomous storage management and recycle policies
  • Traffic indexing for fast retrieval
  • Compression and size expansion avoidance
  • AES-128 or AES-256 based encryption

Analyst workflow

  • Integrated real-time and retrospective packet viewer
  • Full packet decode tree view
  • Wireshark display filter syntax support
  • Direct wire-to-view access from the web UI
  • Metadata extraction and post-processing analytics
