Packet-Level Truth, Now in the Cloud: Allegro Packets Cloud Edition
Administrators of hybrid networks face a visibility gap: the packet-level detail they rely on in physical networks — to detect issues quickly, pinpoint root cause, and maintain constant performance visibility — is not readily available in virtualized and cloud infrastructures. Flow data and telemetry alone can't close that gap. The question is how to get the same ground truth in the cloud that they've always had on-premises.
Allegro Packets Cloud Edition answers that question. The solution brings the proven analysis capabilities of the Allegro Network Multimeter into virtual environments and cloud infrastructures — offering a flexible, scalable solution that operates independently of dedicated hardware. It extends Allegro's edge-to-cloud packet-level visibility to AWS, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure, plus local data centers and on-premises virtual environments.
Monitor and Analyze Virtual Network Traffic in Real Time
The Allegro Packets Cloud Edition enables real-time analysis of virtual network traffic and post-capture analysis of PCAP files of any size, with no limit on the number of connections or IP addresses. Administrators get comprehensive metadata from Layer 2 through Layer 7 — the packet-level evidence needed to trace root cause and accelerate problem resolution.
Immediate Insights, No Waiting
Cloud Edition delivers the same real-time statistics as the physical Allegro appliances: live visibility into communication flows, network utilization, and unusual behaviors as they happen. Selective packet extraction lets teams pull the relevant traffic after capture for further analysis without exporting entire datasets. Analysis of large PCAP files starts returning results immediately — without waiting for the full import to complete.
Familiar Interface, Zero Retraining
Teams already using an Allegro Packets appliance will recognize the Cloud Edition's web interface immediately — same look, same workflow.
Comprehensive dashboards and detailed statistics provide insights into:
- IP addresses
- MAC addresses
- Layer 2-7 protocols
- TCP transmissions
- Connections and communication patterns
- And much more
Powerful search and filtering capabilities help administrators quickly identify and isolate relevant information in real time.
Deploy Anywhere
The Allegro Packets Cloud Edition runs on AWS, Google Cloud, and supported Microsoft Azure regions, as well as in virtual environments on-premises and local data centers running Windows, Linux, or macOS with a supported hypervisor. Public cloud, private data center, or hybrid: the same analysis engine, the same fidelity with maximum deployment flexibility.
Fully Scalable for Any Environment
Because network analysis requirements can vary significantly across organizations and deployment scenarios, the Cloud Edition was designed to be highly scalable. Run it on a lightweight notebook for mobile troubleshooting or on powerful cloud servers capable of handling extensive live traffic analysis and very large PCAP datasets. Its performance scales directly with the available resources, allowing the solution to grow alongside the demands of each environment:
- Additional CPUs increase processing performance
- Additional memory expands the capacity of the in-memory database
Flexible Licensing That Moves With You
A centralized licensing server means the Cloud Edition isn't tied to specific hardware. Instances can freely move between systems or cloud environments — no reassignment, no reactivation — greatly simplifying operations in dynamic cloud infrastructures. For activation, technical requirements, and installation steps, see the Cloud Edition Product Manual.
