NIKSUN offers two types of solutions. One is for performance management and the other is for forensics and cybersecurity. The solution provides reports in real time, as well as historical records. Every packet is stored, indexed and kept in the database. You can use the database to view events that have happened or set up real time alerts. NIKSUN provides you with the why, what, when and where type of answers to all your network problems. 

NIKSUN's capabilities can be used in three main forms; a physical appliance, virtual appliance or using the cloud.

What is most valuable?

The unique selling point of NIKSUN is its ability to scale and its reporting capabilities. NIKSUN captures the packets at a very high speed, from one GB to 160 Gbps.
