FlowMagic-3240

Scale-out and scale-up traffic visibility, archiving, and data mining in a 4U platform built for deep retention.

Back to Product Catalog

Large-scale archiving and data mining

FlowMagic-3240 is a 4U traffic visibility, archiving, and data mining appliance designed for large retention windows and high-capacity packet capture. It enables service chaining between packet broker, traffic capture, real-time and retrospective analysis, and related advanced visibility functions such as deduplication, decryption, metadata extraction, and NetFlow record generation.

Platform profile

  • 4U chassis for deep-retention and evidence-grade capture workflows
  • FlowMagic-3240-36 and FlowMagic-3240-72 storage profiles
  • Scale-out and scale-up architecture for archiving and data mining
  • Integrated wire-to-view workflow from the web UI

Performance envelope

  • Up to 200Gbps packet capture
  • Up to 100Gbps storage throughput
  • Built for traffic archiving, metadata extraction, and post-processing analytics
  • Designed for reliability and long-term retention operations

Storage and deployment flexibility

FlowMagic-3240 expands internal storage density for large-scale capture repositories, then extends further through network-attached storage integration and service-chain deployment patterns.

Storage options

  • 36-bay chassis for large on-box capture repositories
  • 72-bay chassis for extended retention and dense storage footprints
  • Network-attached storage repository support through NFS
  • Integrated archiving and data mining workflows

Applications

  • 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 platform supports interface-role assignments, inline or tap-based deployment, and direct integration with packet broker and storage ecosystems.

Interface roles

  • Capture ports
  • Traffic ingress ports
  • Traffic egress ports
  • NetFlow record export interfaces
  • Interfaces to connect to network-attached storage

Deployment modes

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

Traffic acquisition and capture service

  • Capture network traffic from traffic interfaces or service components
  • Packet slicing and packet tag insertion
  • Autonomous storage management and recycle policies
  • Traffic indexing for fast retrieval
  • AES-128 or AES-256 based encryption

Packet Shark workflow

  • Integrated real-time and retrospective packet viewer
  • Full packet decode tree view
  • Wireshark display filter syntax support
  • Full mouse and keyboard navigation support
  • Assistive display-filter creation from decoded fields
