OPSWAT Launches OESIS Network Data Service

OESIS Network enables technology vendors and network service providers to develop solutions that assess or filter applications solely by monitoring network traffic.

San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) May 23, 2007 -- OPSWAT, Inc., the leading provider of development and integration technologies to software and hardware vendors today announced the launch of OESIS Network data service.

OESIS Network is an XML data service that normalizes network traffic pattern information of hundreds of endpoint applications that periodically generate traffic in their normal lifecycle. Supported applications include traditional endpoint security applications such as antivirus, antispyware, antiphishing clients, and also other applications such as instant messenger and Peer-to-Peer clients.

OESIS Network provides the information that enables technology vendors to develop solutions that can monitor, classify, assess and shape network traffic, with or without any software footprint on endpoints.

Technology vendors that can now empower their products to:

--detect security application types and vendors operating on the network
--detect application activity
-- detect and monitor the pattern updates of security and other applications
-- detect and restrict instant messenger and peer-to-peer applications
-- prioritize bandwidth allocation

"The release of OESIS Network extends OPSWAT's commitment to provide technology vendors with data services and development tools," said Benny Czarny, CEO of OPSWAT. "OESIS Network is ideal for technology vendors developing products in several verticals, including intrusion prevention systems, IP network QoS and QoE appliances, network performance management and monitoring, bandwidth management and monitoring, traffic shaping and network forensics."

OESIS Network will be marketed towards technology vendors such as 3Com, APconnections, Allot Communications, Arbor Networks, Ascenvision Technology, Cisco Systems, Inc., Consentry Networks, Ellacoya Networks, Emerging Technologies, ETelemetry, Inc., FireEye, Inc., ForeScout Technologies, Heroix Corporation, Huawei Technologies, Ipoque GmbH, Ipswitch, Inc., Juniper Networks, Inc., Kentrox, LLC, Lancope, Inc., Netmon, Inc., NetQoS, Inc., NetScout Systems, Inc., Network General Corporation, Network Instruments, LLC, Nimsoft, Inc., Packeteer, Inc., Plixer International, Inc., PortAuthority Technologies, Procera Networks, Inc., Q1 Labs, Inc., Sandvine Incorporated, SilverBack, Inc., Solar Winds, Inc., Top Layer Networks, Vernier Networks and others.

"To build and maintain a lab that supports hundreds of applications with evolving traffic patterns can be a time-consuming task and expensive task, said Tom Mullen, Director of Business Development at OPSWAT. "OESIS Network offers an immediate, actionable data feed to technology vendors at a reasonable subscription price, without compromising the intellectual property of their offerings."
