FlowMagic-400

1U traffic visibility and analytics appliance for lab and departmental deployments.

Compact packet capture for departmental visibility

FlowMagic-400 is a 1U rack-mount traffic visibility and analytics appliance built for packet capture, record generation, metadata extraction, and compact network monitoring deployments. The platform combines fixed management and network ports with modular iNIC expansion so each system can be matched to the monitoring point.

Model variants

  • FlowMagic-400-4: 4 x 3.5" hot-swappable drive bays
  • FlowMagic-400-10: 10 x 2.5" hot-swappable drive bays
  • FlowMagic-400-12-NVME: 12 x 2.5" hot-swappable NVMe drive bays
  • Up to 3 traffic capture and processing modules

Fixed platform interfaces

  • One dedicated IPMI RJ-45 management port
  • Two 1Gb/10Gb RJ-45 network ports
  • Support for regular and bypass-capable iNIC traffic modules
  • Compact 1U appliance profile for edge, lab, and departmental deployments

Storage and deployment flexibility

Choose the internal storage profile that fits retention and ingest targets, then use the platform for packet recording, metadata extraction, and troubleshooting workflows.

Storage options

  • Dedicated SSD-based system drive
  • 4-bay platform optimized for 3.5" HDD capture media
  • 10-bay platform optimized for 2.5" SSD or HDD capture profiles
  • 12-bay platform optimized for 2.5" NVMe flash capture profiles
  • Data capture SSDs/HDDs are not included

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-400 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
