Rohati Systems, a start-up based in Sunnyvale, California, has secured $12 million in a second round of funding for its high-performance network-based entitlement control (NBEC) solution. Rohati aims to simplify the way that enterprises define and enforce network policies in a highly scalable way.
The Rohati Transaction Networking System (TNS) addresses this problem by using -standard XACML (Extensible Access Control Markup Language) to define and enforce per-transaction policies across all types of users and applications. , Rohati has developed a high-performance platform enables enterprises to inspect and correlate individual transactions to network policies. The platform is powered by 16-core processors capable of providing Layer 7 intelligence on thousands of simultaneous connections/flows at wire-speed. Two models are initially offered. Products are expected to debut in July.
