SonicWALL's integrated security solutions include high-performance, next-generation firewalls, backup and recovery appliances, and anti-spam and secure remote access solutions for wired and wireless networks of all sizes. SonicWALL additionally offers several application traffic analytics products that enable customers to report on and analyze the activity on their SonicWALL infrastructure. Customers with multiple appliances typically opt for the SonicWALL Global Management System (GMS), which offers central policy management and monitoring in addition to reporting and analytics.
Challenge
To cope with growing volumes of log data being captured by both SonicWALL Analyzer and GMS, SonicWALL needed a database capable of delivering significantly faster analysis of the log data than was previously possible. This critical analysis helps users identify potential network threats, visualize network activity such as application usage and websites visited, fulfill compliance requirements, conduct network forensics and more.
When it comes to network security, today’s businesses need to identify and understand the root cause of potential threats in minutes, not hours or days.

Solution
For SonicWALL Analyzer and GMS, IEE enables faster query turnaround so custom reports can be generated in real-time and on demand. IEE also enables SonicWALL to give IT administrators direct access to raw data, not only summary data, for deeper and more granular analysis with extensive drill-down capabilities. The data compression rate of 20:1 means that more months of log data can be loaded for analysis, broadening the scope of historical reporting available while significantly reducing costly disk storage requirements. Infobright may be run on SonicWALL hardware appliances, virtual appliances, or as part of a software application on a standard Windows server, with no high-end servers required.
Infobright provides real-time data availability and allows users to quickly drill down for ad-hoc analysis and reporting to ensure the highest degree of security for their critical network infrastructure.
