Allegro Packets
Real-time network monitoring and diagnostics delivered in seconds
Purpose-built packet analysis at any scale
In today’s fast-moving digital environments, slow troubleshooting can cost more than just time. That’s why at Red Helix, we partner with Allegro Packets, a global leader in real-time network analysis, to bring UK organisations compact, high-speed appliances that make pinpointing performance and security issues fast, accurate, and efficient.
Whether you’re managing a remote branch, a data centre, or a hybrid enterprise, Allegro’s plug-and-play monitoring tools, combined with Red Helix’s expert deployment and support, give you the confidence to resolve issues at the root.
When it comes to packet capture at smaller, remote, or distributed sites, traditional tools often force a trade-off between capability and practicality. The Allegro 500 changes that.
Lightweight, powerful, and purpose-built for edge visibility, this compact appliance delivers Layer 2–7 deep packet inspection, live session tracking, and rich historical data, all in a device weighing under a kilogram.
"Many engineers still rely on generic PCs for network capture, but the Allegro 500 is purpose-built for the job, lossless, resilient, and secure."
Allegro 500 Key Highlights:
- Lossless packet capture thanks to high-speed NICs, optimised software, and zero OS overhead
- Tracks over 1 million live connections and 20,000 IPs, ideal for real-time and forensic analysis
- No impact on production traffic, fully isolated and hardened against interference or malware
- Perfect for edge networks with ~100 active endpoints on gigabit links
- Compact rack-friendly design, deployable in minutes
From troubleshooting intermittent issues to deep-dive packet analysis, Allegro makes advanced diagnostics effortless, even for non-specialists.
