nPulse to host software QA Testing Lab for Suricata Project

LAFAYETTE, INDIANA, USA –  July 27th, 2010 – The Open Information
Security Foundation (OISF) today announced that nPulse Technologies, LLC
has joined the consortium as its first Gold Level member.

"The OISF is excited about the support nPulse and Napatech will provide.
As leaders in the acceleration market they have invaluable advice and
engineering expertise to lend our development team. nPulse's work to
enable the Suricata engine to natively take advantage of Napatech's
technology will open up new market opportunities for Suricata."

“We are excited to join OISF and to have the opportunity to contribute
to the Suricata project,” said Randy Caldejon, President of nPulse
Technologies. "The Suricata project exemplifies the open-source spirit
at its best; that is, organizations putting aside their competitive
differences for the common good of building a state-of-the-art intrusion
detection and prevention engine.   We look forward to adding our
expertise to the development effort.”

nPulse will maintain a QA Test lab for Suricata developers at its
Charlottesville, VA, facility. Developers will be able to access the
nPulse systems remotely, load their code revisions, and test Suricata
under heavy traffic loads generated by a 10Gbps HammerHead Capture and
Replay System, a product of nPulse Technologies.
