Zero Packet Loss Processing for Government Security Applications

Government market sectors like cyber security, intelligence, surveillance and secure communications have become increasingly important in recent times. They also come with a unique set of challenges when it comes to protection from criminal activity taking place across the internet.

These types of applications have to support the strictest security measures as well as aggressive data bandwidths. We work with Netcope Technologies to provide programmable hardware accelerators that guarantee wire-speed traffic processing with zero packet loss on 100G, 40G and 10G Ethernet.

In combination with ready-to-use firmware, these accelerators provide both per-packet and stateful filtering, which is a basic element of lawful interception and data retention systems.

Together with support for multiple network technologies(100G, 40G, 10G and 25G Ethernet), this protects future investments when moving to higher speeds. Specifically, Netcope Session Filter (NSF) implements smart pre-processing of network traffic, based on keeping track of network flows directly in hardware.

NSF surpasses competing solutions due to its ability to dynamically adjust the level of traffic details transferred to software. Smart cooperation between intelligent software and powerful hardware allows implementation of reliable interception systems for the highest-speed networks, which is not possible with conventional solutions.

Sarsen Celebrates 14 Successful Years in Business

Way back in the year 2000, when some of us were still at school, an exciting new business opened in the town of Marlborough, UK.

Providing sales, marketing and technical support services for two
USA based manufacturers,
Sarsen Technology was born.

The brain-child of Nigel Norman, Sarsen Technology was established to provide embedded COTS hardware and software to a wide range of customers and market sectors. Nigel has over 25 years’ experience of the electronics and semiconductor industry in design, applications support, technical sales, sales management and business development.

Since 2000, the team has expanded to include additional salespeople, and a number of new departments including Accounts, Marketing and Administration. The significant growth since 2000 has been achieved by offering customers a complete embedded system solution, providing a local liaison from the initial enquiry right through to after-sales technical support.

As part of our ongoing quest for customer satisfaction we added 3 new manufacturers to the product line in 2013, allowing us to support an even greater range of applications that require anything from digital signal processing, data acquisition and single board computing to high-speed data record, playback and storage solutions. We have chosen the companies we work with based on their commitment to customer service as well as for their market-leading technology.

Today Sarsen Technology Limited is a well-established technical representative and distributor based in Marlborough. Committed to providing excellent service and support, we are ISO 9001:2008 registered. You can view a copy of our certificate here (PDF).
