Solera Networks develops the DeepSee Platform, which indexes and classifies all network traffic to give companies a comprehensive, real-time view of their network security. The platform is positioned for both proactive risk spotting and rapid response after breaches. Solera says both domestic and international sales grew more than 100 percent last year. The company will use the new funding to expand global sales, marketing, and product development. Intel Capital's investment and expertise are expected to help with future product improvements. Intel described Solera as delivering a scalable, high-performance solution and the only independent platform capable of broad integration. Solera Networks makes hardware appliances and a suite of applications that capture, store, index and provide real-time forensic analysis of network traffic. Its products create instantly accessible, searchable records of network activity to help companies reconstruct attacks and perform post-incident investigations. The company plans to use the new capital to expand sales and marketing, accelerate product development and set itself up for growth. Solera was founded in 2005 and is based in South Jordan, Utah, and has about 40 employees. The company reports bookings have grown 100% year-over-year for multiple years and has raised $31.9 million to date. Solera Networks builds network-forensics software that records all network activity and enables operators to retrace steps to pinpoint glitches and security breaches. Its software captures large volumes of data without slowing other system operations and indexes events to make them searchable and replayable on demand. The product runs at high speeds in both virtual and physical server environments and the company says it can operate in a 10‑gigabyte environment where competitors require more resources. Solera reports its customer base is split roughly evenly between corporate and government organizations; federal agencies use it to locate possible security violations while corporations use it as a backup. The company plans to use the recent funding to expand marketing efforts and its Washington, D.C. office to be near likely government clients. Solera is based in Lindon, Utah.
