Analyze: Big data engine, enhanced with a unique Deepfield Genome context

Our petabyte-scale data engine processes these massive data sets in real-time. The magic happens when we correlate network data with our proprietary Deepfield Genome—a constantly updated map of the internet that provides critical context on applications, services, and security threats.

Act: Insights and automation

The resulting intelligence is delivered as actionable insights through our intuitive user interface, allowing your teams to explore and visualize data on the fly. For ultimate efficiency, every insight and action can be integrated into your operational workflows via our comprehensive APIs, enabling true network and security automation.

How does Deepfield work?

All our Deepfield applications use a common software platform for data processing. They can be deployed on-premises, within your network, or you can deploy them as cloud-based (using the software-as-a-service model).

The Deepfield platform ingests data from many different sources within your network, starting with essential IP flow-related data sets (any xflow data), BGP and SNMP. These data sets can be further enhanced with DNS information (from DNSflow), along with other router, network and telemetry data sets such as RADIUS/AAA, IPFIX and gRPC.

The Deepfield platform can also ingest custom data sets from other network and operational domains, including network management, SDN control, OSS/BSS, customer care, support and billing. We complement the information about your network infrastructure, services and subscribers with knowledge from our Deepfield Cloud Genome and Deepfield Secure Genome data sets.

By correlating the information from your network with the Genome data sets, Deepfield allows you to obtain unique perspectives across many data sets and data dimensions. This gives you unique and deep insight into your network, peering and transit, services and the ways in which the content is consumed.

Our data processing capabilities extend well into the petabyte range, giving you the scalability and robustness you need.

No DPI probes

Our software-based solutions do not require network appliances, probes or deep packet inspection (DPI) to gain valuable insight from your IP network. They get this insight by collecting and correlating information from the internet and from your network. This approach is well suited to ensuring scalability that extends well into the range of petabytes of data. It results in cost-effective scaling without the need for tedious and expensive network probe or DPI upgrades.

Multi-dimensional insight

We process, correlate, analyze and visualize super-large sets of network- and service-related data. You can get unique insights by creating queries that correlate the data across specific dimensions of data sets, and you can further customize and fine-tune your queries based on specific areas of interest and required levels of detail and granularity.

For example, a query can result in instant output–in the form of sophisticated visualization, formatted data or custom API links–about how internet content is routed from CDN domains across your peering/transit and delivered to your access systems and end-users and subscribers (and how it is split across your subscriber plans).

Detailed internet service delivery chain and security context

Deepfield Cloud Genome tracks, maps and analyzes billions of internet endpoints to provide a dynamic supply map of the internet. It provides full visibility into how applications and content are delivered from all the sources across the internet to your network and across your network to your subscribers.

Deepfield Secure Genome complements the Deepfield Cloud Genome by maintaining a similar database with up-to-date information on potential DDoS threats and secure and insecure (whitelisted/blacklisted) internet sources, destinations and traffic patterns.

Benefits to many teams in your organization

Deepfield applications can bring benefits to many teams in your organization – from network planning, operations, security and marketing to teams focused on big data processing, such as data science and AI teams.

Gain a holistic view of your network, services and subscribers

Deepfield correlates large data sets, infers “hidden” knowledge about your network, services and subscribers, and makes this knowledge available for you to investigate through customized queries and on-the-fly visualizations. This gives you an unsiloed, holistic view of your network, peering and transit, and all CDN flows.

Deepfield can correlate real-time information collected from your network with the Deepfield Genome feeds. This gives you full insight into how your network delivers your services (from CDN servers within your network) or internet-based application and content services to your end systems, users and subscribers.

Secure your network against DDoS threats and attacks

To combat sophisticated DDoS attacks, you need a more intelligent, cost-effective, scalable and adaptable defense strategy. Deepfield Defender, a cornerstone of our Deepfield DDoS security solution, uses real-time analytics with intelligence to monitor, recognize and stop DDoS attacks, and provide 360-degree protection both against inbound (external – from the internet) and outbound (internal – from hijacked or malicious devices within your network) threats and attacks.

Automate your network and operations

The visibility provided by Deepfield solutions brings you previously unattainable insight into your network, services and subscribers. You can use this insight to drive and automate network performance and security. Your automation options range from the creation of automated reports and automatic triggering of notifications that meet certain criteria to further integration with your systems and processes.
