Kentik Detect Overview

Industry-Leading Network Visibility and ProtectionKentik Detect™ is the breakthrough big data solution for network

intelligence. Architected for the speed and scale of today’s networks, Kentik

Detect leaves behind the blind spots and frustrations of legacy appliances

and Hadoop-based data cubes. Instead you get real-time visibility, instant

alerting on anomalies and attacks, and ad-hoc analytics across months of

unsummarized traffic, all in a cost-effective, silo-free SaaS.

Kentik Data Engine

Kentik Detect runs on the Kentik Data Engine™, a distributed HA datastore that can ingest

millions of raw flow records per second (NetFlow, IPFIX, and sFlow). Correlated into an

enhanced timeseries with BGP, GeoIP, and SNMP, traffic data is stored unsummarized for

a minimum of 90 days. Attacks and custom-defined anomalies trigger immediate alerts,

and ad-hoc queries across billions of records return answers in seconds. Offered as a

subscription-based cloud or private SaaS (available for on-premises deployment), Kentik

Detect is 100 times faster than MapReduce and an order of magnitude more affordable

than either home-grown or public cloud alternatives.
