Procera Networks announced today a new DPI appliance - the PL8720 (see "Procera Networks Introduces PacketLogic™ PL8720" press release here). Procera defines and positions the new product as "the industry’s first purpose-built, two rack unit (2RU) 10 Gbps deep packet inspection (DPI) appliance .. PacketLogic PL8720 is specifically designed for customers with accelerating network growth plans, who are transitioning or will transition from GE (gigabit Ethernet) to 10GE links".
See more details - here. While the product is said to be available, there is no deployment story or customer quote in the press release.
After a year in which the DPI vendors went to the "who has bigger" fight (using numbers in the range of 10-360Gbps), the recent announcements go back to the appliance product type, emphasizing low form factor and green stuff.
Allot was there before with the NetEnforcer AC-5000 (NetEnforcer is Allot's appliance product line) - similar concept (downsizing the chassis based product) - similar performance - and even similar look ..
