The global distribution of critical Enterprise networks and data centers is driving even greater network access for monitoring tools, down to each regional location and branch office. But how to ensure immediate 100% visibility in a way that doesn't blow-out the budget?
Network Packet Broker Across the Cloud
Consolidating and sharing monitoring tools throughout a network improves performance, availability and security while maximizing tool efficiency and ROI. The concept behind this technology is to quicken response time to network outages, latency issues, and cyber threats. Any one of these problems can hinder a business or government's ability to operate, not to mention financial and legal risks. Therefore, it is critically important to increase tool access to traffic from SPANs or TAPs, and ultimately reducing mean time to respond/diagnose (MTTR/D).
Traditional Methods of Tool Sharing
The traditional/manual method of tool sharing is too slow and leaves many blind spots in the network. They require each location to have its own set of monitoring tools, manually patched to troubled points in the network after failure, latency issue, or threat occurs. This method extends MTTR and incurs high CAPEX for tool purchases and maintenance.
VSS vStack Over IP Extends Tool Sharing over LAN, WAN, Cloud
The latest in Network Packet Broker offered by VSS allows network engineers to instantly direct traffic from any SPAN or TAP to any performance or security tool without moving a single cord. Only VSS enables all of this to be done safely and securely over LAN, WAN, and even the Cloud.
Getting all of the desired traffic to your monitoring tools is no longer geographically limited. VSS vStack Over IP technology provides access to all required network ports, capturing all network traffic, and then aggregating and filtering it before forwarding to each of your tool sets, no matter where they are located. The traffic flow can then be load balanced across multiple tool instances to enable them to be more fully utilized, handling all the traffic of interest. You can freely make use of dedicated networks or 'the cloud' for getting the data securely from the network points to the tools. In addition to a substantial reduction in CAPEX, this also provides 100% network visibility with no blind spots.
Benefits of VSS vStack Over IP Across the LAN, WAN, Cloud
- 100% Network Visibility - Instantly direct traffic from any source to any tool in the network or cloud, eliminating blind spots
- Increased Tool Sharing - Share tools across the cloud, eliminate tool silos, and direct traffic to them securely over IP without configuring tunnels between routers
- CAPEX Reduction - Optimize tool utilization and reduce the number of performance and security tools required for 100% coverage
- OPEX Reduction - Accelerate the time to respond and diagnose network problems, all while improving efficiencies to use the tools and support them
- MTTR Reduction - Achieve the standard 99.999% uptime and maximize revenue-generating uptime
