| A VSS monitoring Distributed Span Switch solution for monitoring the existing switch infrastructure in core networks: |
Given the ubiquitous nature of managed switches, end users often rely on a Switch's Span or Mirror port utility to accomplish certain basic types of monitoring, despite the inherent quality disadvantages. Using multiple Span Ports throughout the network for troubleshooting requires a user to either visit each location with an analyzer or simply have an analyzer placed in each location. The resulting issues are excessive response times and / or the cost of multiple analyzer licenses and hardware. Either an Analyzer is permanently available at each instance of Span Port or the user must travel to each location every time an incident occurs thereby usurping valuable time while connectivity suffers.
This document describes how to resolve these issues through the use of VSS monitoring's Span Switches.

| A VSS monitoring Port Aggregator solution for simultaneous monitoring of multiple networks in the Gateway: |
Modern security regulations require businesses to deploy a variety of IDS and Forensics servers at multiple locations throughout their network making essential deployments costly and challenging to manage. VSS monitoring's aggregation taps reduce deployment costs by providing visibility into all points of entry & exit using a single monitoring server.
In this solution we discuss how deploying VSS monitoring's Port Aggregator Taps inline among twelve (12) Gateway networks can significantly reduce deployment cost, simplify management and enable maximum visibility using only a single interface on the Gigabit IDS device.

| Creating Instant Visibility into All Points on Your Network Using a Single Monitoring Tool: A VSS monitoring Port Aggregator Solution for Multiple 10/100 Core Network & Distribution Links: |
The need for immediate troubleshooting of network performance can be crucial to any industry whose core business revolves around access to services or sensitive information, such as the telecommunication, financial and healthcare sectors. Creating a cost-efficient, remotely manageable performance monitoring solution for multiple networks can be as simple as deploying several VSS monitoring Distributed Taps and aggregating the signals to a single or several monitoring tool in a central location.
In this solution we discuss the competitive performance values of deploying VSS monitoring's Port Aggregators in core networks and distribution networks.

Monitoring Your Outsourced Network: A VSS monitoring Injection Tap Solution for a 10/100 Network:
|
Because of the difficulties involved in achieving and maintaining network security and performance standards, many enterprises find that its most cost effective and manageable option is to contract a third party to monitor its network. In most cases, when a company discovers a need for a monitoring tool it is free to take steps to deploy that tool within its own network infrastructure; however, in cases where an enterprise has outsourced the management and monitoring of its network, even minor changes can be difficult to implement as they may either fall outside the scope of a contractual agreement or the network managers may be unwilling to give up a port to the owning party.
In this solution we discuss the inline Gateway deployment of a VSS monitoring Data Injection Tap for internal monitoring of an outsourced network.
