Network Intelligence tools address critical performance and security functions, and are the central nervous system of today's IP networks. The challenge now is to control the CAPEX and OPEX to deploy, utilize and maintain the myriad of tools required, particularly as IP networks grow in size and complexity.
VSS solves this by providing Network Packet Broker.
VSS solutions optimize and scale the connections between the network switches and the performance tools and security tools, eliminating the limited, inefficient and complex 1:1 approach used in the past. As a result, global telecom providers, enterprises and governments make optimal use of their tools, vastly simplifying operational complexity, and realize a higher ROI in terms of greater, accelerated cost savings.
The key reason VSS does this better than anyone else is its systems-based and highly-scalable approach, combining true modular system expansion with superior system fault tolerance - across the entire universe of network intelligence tools. The enabling technology behind this visionary approach is the VSS IntelliScale Architecture.
The IntelliScale Architecture provides the flexibility for VSS systems to be deployed in configurations yielding the highest value in your network and data center environments. A modular, distributed architecture that readily expands, Intelliscale creates high system scalability that can start small and grow with the largest global networks.
The IntelliScale Architecture is the complete approach for Network Packet Broker, providing support for the entire universe of performance tools and security, whether they are active or passive. This includes all types of analytic tools, as well as inline security appliances and inline WAN optimization controllers.
The IntelliScale Architecture also delivers the reliability with its automated and multi-tiering of system fault tolerance. Built-in at the device, link, and system levels, the IntelliScale fault tolerance ensures no single point of failure. As well, the IntelliScale distributed approach is inherently more reliable and self-healing than monolithic approaches
