OUR HISTORY

Cirries Technologies, Inc., began in 2006 to address the need for disparate networks to communicate, and to allow any network to access any application. Cirries’ initial market was primarily voice-multimedia networks operated by telecommunications carriers and service providers. Its product: a powerful real-time communications network engine that made any generation of service or application run over any generation of network.

The advent of smart phones, other mobile devices, and Internet-connected machines transformed Cirries’ market. Cirries responded by expanding capabilities of the high-performance network engine to facilitate collecting and processing network traffic for unprecedented visibility. The focus of this visibility is the experience of the end user of the network and the applications being accessed via the network. The Cirries Visibility Architecture contains three components, Packet Sensor (Packet processor), Metadata Sensor (Metadata processor) and DART (Stream Analytics with integrated Machine Learning).

Today, Cirries products enable the full value and potential of any kind of network, whether operated by carriers, service providers, or enterprises. Capable of processing extremely high volume, high velocity network data to monitor, report and manage network functions on the market, Cirries platform outperforms the market in performance and price. Cirries suite of products enables a holistic view of the network that provides network operator and enterprises with real-time analytics, accurate forensics, and the ability to improve network operation and efficiency. This analysis additionally facilitates the detection of any anomalous behavior, which triggers automatic alerts for the Network Operating Center or Security Operating Center to investigate. Alert notifications contain forensic data with the suggested plan of resolution to designated personnel.

Cirries maintains a strict focus on its core competency while maximizing revenue potential. As a software solution on COTS hardware, Virtual Machines or in Containers, Cirries helps pave the way to Network Excellence for each of its customers.
