Endace Ltd a division of Emulex, was founded in New Zealand in 2001. Endace grew from a research project in the University of Waikato in Hamilton, New Zealand.[1] The company provides network visibility and intelligent network recording products to large organizations that run complex networks including telecom providers, broadcasters, government agencies, investment banks and large enterprises. Over the course of more than 11 years the company has transitioned from being a manufacturer of purpose built packet capture cards into a supplier of complete network visibility and recording solutions suitable for use in the world’s most demanding network environments. The company was listed on the London Stock Exchange in 2005 [3] and then delisted in 2013 when it was acquired by Emulex[2][3] Started in 2001, in 2005, they became the first company in New Zealand listed on the Alternative Investment Market (AIM) of the London Stock Exchange.[4]

In August 2010 they made the decision to return their manufacturing facility back to New Zealand. In Christchurch, the Prime Minister of New Zealand John Key took the first product off of the assembly line.[5]

Background & History

Endace was founded after the success of the DAG project at the School of Computing and Mathematical Sciences at the University of Waikato in New Zealand.[1][6] The first cards designed at the University were intended to measure latency in ATM networks.

In 2006, Endace transitioned from component manufacturer to appliance manufacturer to managed infrastructure provider. The company now sells network visibility fabrics, based on its range of network recorders, to large corporations and government agencies in the UK, US, Australia and New Zealand.

Endace was the first New Zealand company to list on London's Alternative Investment Market AIM (EPIC: EDA) when it floated in mid-June 2005[7] a move which was not without controversy.[8] Poor share price performance in the early years and a seeming failure to attract a broad enough shareholder base lent weight to the criticism that Endace should have focused initially on developing its local profile (via NZX) rather than pushing for overseas investment (via London AIM).

The marketing headquarters for the Endace Division is in Sunnyvale and Costa Mesa, California and R&D is in Auckland and Hamilton, New Zealand.

Interface coverage

The company's network recording capability covers most SDH (the synchronous digital hierarchy standard), SONET and Ethernet link types that include OC768 as well as older protocols such as E1/T1 and DS3.[9] In 2012 Endace launched its 100 Gigabit Ethernet capable network recording system.

Product Portfolio

All Emulex network recorders, called EndaceProbe Intelligent Network Recorder (INR) appliances, use the Endace DAG technology and run OSm (Endace's proprietary Operating System), which includes as part of its functionality, EndaceVision and Endace Application Dock. Endace INRs scale from 1 Mbit/s to 100 Gbit/s and help organizations respond and get to the root cause of network problems by allowing engineers to go back in time and see exactly what happened (at packet level) at the time that an alarm was generated or a problem was reported. Endace INRs are bought by both network operations and network security teams.

  • EndaceProbe™ Intelligent Network Recorders (INR) appliances capture, index and record network traffic with continuous 100 percent accuracy, regardless of network speed, or traffic type.
  • EndaceVision™, a powerful browser-based network traffic search engine, enables network and security operations analysts and engineers to search and retrieve historic network traffic in response to network problems and suspected security events.
  • EndaceAccess™ Network Visibility Headend System, a 100GbE-capable Network Packet Broker (NPB), gives organizations visibility into 40 and 100GbE segments using existing 10GbE capable tools. EndaceAccess can be used with EndaceProbe INR appliances or with any third-party appliance with standard 10GbE ports.
  • Endace Data Acquisition and Generation (DAG®) Cards underpin all Endace products and form the foundation for many commercially available network monitoring, network security and test and measurement systems.
  • Endace Open Application Hosting Platforms, also known as open development environment (ODE) appliances, are designed to host packet-processing applications in managed data center environments.
  • EndaceFlow™ NetFlow Generator Appliances (NGA) gives organizations with large amounts of traffic the ability to generate 100 percent accurate NetFlows from their network, at speeds up to 10Gb per second (10Gbit/s) line rate, without having to burden existing routers and switches.
