The ExtraHop platform is a passive network appliance that can be deployed on-premises or in public cloud services such as Amazon Web Services. ExtraHop won the 2013 Best of Interop Award for Cloud Computing and Virtualization based on its monitoring product for AWS.[5] The ExtraHop appliance receives network traffic and performs real-time full-stream reassembly to extract application-level protocol metrics and other custom-specified information contained in the transaction payload.[6] Product modules include HTTP and HTTPS; common database protocols; directory protocols like LDAP, RADIUS, and Diameter; industry-specific protocols like Financial Information eXchange and SMPP; and storage protocols like CIFS, iSCSI, and Network File System.[7]

ExtraHop offers physical and virtual platforms. The EH1000v and EH2000v virtual appliances are rated for networks up to 3Gbit/s throughput. The EH6000 is a 1U appliance capable of handling up to 10Gbit/s of throughput, and the EH8000 is a 2U appliance capable of handling 20Gbit/s throughput. The company claims that the EH8000 can analyze 400,000 transactions per second.[8] A free downloadable version of the Extrahop system is also available from the company's website.[9]
