Network visibility is the critical factor in heading off the increasing number of application performance issues, outages, data breaches and attacks against large-scale distributed networks. A Distributed Traffic Capture System™ comprises intelligent traffic capture devices deployed anywhere they need to be, architected between network infrastructure and the analytical equipment as one virtual system. In this way traffic capture closely meshes with the network's topology.
Because it functions as one system, distributed traffic capture brings fault tolerance, ultra low latency, infinite flexibility and full optimization to network monitoring. A Distributed Traffic Capture System not only adapts as rapidly as business conditions require but also delivers multiple views of the network simultaneously, so that each monitoring group can see the view appropriate to its function.
This white paper explores best practices in designing and deploying a VSS Monitoring Distributed Traffic Capture System.
