Ixia to Showcase Integration at Cisco Live
2016
Ixia, a leading provider of network testing, visibility, and
security solutions, announced an enhanced version of ControlTower
TM that seamlessly integrates with Cisco’s Nexus 3000 switches to
improve reliability and reduce total cost of ownership of network
visibility for customers. Ixia will demonstrate this integration at
Cisco Live (Booth #3019) in Las Vegas 2016, July 10th – 14th,
2016.
Ixia’s ControlTower solution, a key component of Ixia’s
IxVision™ Architecture, is an advanced network visibility resource
for centralized, intelligent monitoring that helps organizations
achieve end-to-end visibility within their physical, virtual, and
software-defined networks (SDN). The distributed architecture
provides network administrators access to monitoring and diagnostic
tools from any point in the network. ControlTower helps accelerate
application delivery and enables effective troubleshooting for
enhanced network security, application performance, and SLA
fulfillment. It also provides vendor-agnostic centralized
integration enabling end-to-end network monitoring and visibility
for customers deploying Cisco switches as well as other vendors’
networking infrastructure.
“The integration of Ixia’s advanced network visibility
functionality with Cisco’s Nexus 3000 switches will not only
simplify management of complex data centers, it will significantly
reduce the cost of managing that data center,” said Brent
Angus, General Manager - Networking (Asia Pacific)
of Dimension Data. “Leveraging Ixia’s application
visibility intelligence provides context to optimize the
traffic distribution so organizations can make better use of
their IT tools and investments.”
Cisco Nexus switches use a common programmatic interface. At
Cisco Live 2016, Ixia will demonstrate how Ixia ControlTower
enables network administrators to dynamically repartition Cisco
switch ports between production switching and visibility
enablement. As a result, customers can optimize infrastructure
utilization and reduce overall visibility costs. In addition, Ixia
will show how network packet brokers, including the recently
launched Vision ONE TM, allow administrators to improve scalability
and flexibility of network visibility deployments, while providing
advanced management and packet processing features that further
enhance the flexibility and reliability provided by Cisco
production switches.
“Security threats are increasing in volume and potency. Network
and security administrators need help inspecting traffic,
identifying threats and optimizing infrastructure performance,”
said Lawrence M. Walsh, Chief Analyst, The 2112 Group, a channel
analyst and consulting firm. “Ixia’s Vision ONE and ControlTower
integrated with Cisco’s popular Nexus 3000 switches provides an
additional layer of protection that enables partners of Ixia and
Cisco to close the security and performance gap without adding
additional overhead to infrastructure and management. By deploying
Vision ONE and ControlTower alongside Cisco’s Nexus 3000, Ixia
partners will deliver greater economies of scale by managing and
optimizing traffic flows.”

"We have expanded the functionality of ControlTower to now
provide a single view over both Ixia supplied network packet
brokers and Cisco Nexus 3000 switches, acting as an aggregation
layer in large network visibility deployments,” said Dennis Cox,
Ixia’s Chief Product Officer. “Ixia is the only visibility vendor
to provide an integrated solution using our own equipment combined
with Cisco Nexus 3000 switches.”
