Delivers New Network Packet Brokers - Vision
Edge 40 and Vision Edge 100
Ixia, a leading provider of network testing, visibility, and
security solutions, today announced it has expanded the company’s
growing visibility portfolio of Vision network packet brokers
(NPBs) with Vision Edge™ 40 (10/40G platform) and Vision Edge 100
(100G platform). These new cost-effective and scalable solutions
help IT teams supporting hyperscale and microscale data centers,
resolve application performance bottlenecks, trouble shoot
problems, and improve data center automation, as well as better
utilize network analysis and security tools.
Today’s hyperscale data centers, which are designed for
expansion, as well as micro data centers, which often sit on the
network edge closer to end users for an improved experience, can
create significant challenges for IT organizations. These
challenges range from poor network performance due to increasing
size and complexity, to security issues resulting from insufficient
visibility into incident detection and resolution. Many IT
organizations use multiple network monitoring tools, and need to
efficiently transport network traffic from thousands of network
locations.
Ixia’s solutions for highly scalable and expanding data
centers
Ixia’s Vision portfolio of NPBs provides intelligent,
sophisticated, and programmable network flow optimization,
delivering comprehensive visibility and security coverage. The new
Vision Edge 40 and Vision Edge 100 offer real-time visibility,
insight, and security into high density hyperscale and microscale
data centers, even as they expand. Each is capable of inline and
out-of-band deployments, and delivers control, coverage, and
performance to protect and improve crucial networking, data center,
and cloud business assets.
Vision Edge 40 and Vision Edge 100 offer the following
customer benefits:
- Ease-of use
- Point-and-click web-interface offers an
intuitive network-to-tools layout, enabling users to easily
translate to real-life physical configurations
- 3-stages of filtering: ingress,
dynamic, and egress; naturally providing a built-in capability for
AND/OR logic, and simplifying configuration of complex Boolean
filtering rules
- Performance
- Top of the rack aggregation supported
at the required throughput eliminates blind spots
- Multi-speed capability, can be used for
initial deployments and scaled for the required throughput
- Visibility Intelligence
- Dynamic filter compiler auto-resolves
overlapping filter rules to help eliminate errors
- Aggregation, replication, load
balancing, and source port labeling helps ensure tools get the
right data at the right speed
“IT management will appreciate the flexibility and agility of
Vision Edge 40 and Vision Edge 100,” says Recep Ozdag, Vice
President of Product Management at Ixia. “They can build a
data-center at any size, and leverage a standalone NPB that does
everything they need right out of the box, while also having the
best balance of features and value, which is crucial for managing
an efficient and cost effective IT operation.”
Ixia’s Security Fabric Powers Visibility
Ixia’s Vision Edge 40 and Vision Edge 100 can be used as
standalone devices or as part of a robust Security Fabric™ when
combined with Ixia’s turnkey Vision ONE™ network packet broker.
This combination creates a powerful visibility engine that delivers
the right traffic to the right security and monitoring tools, while
enabling customers to leverage Ixia’s advanced visibility
intelligence features in Vision ONE to optimize traffic
analysis and security tool performance. These include
PacketStack capabilities, which offer intelligent packet filtering,
manipulation, and transport, as well as AppStack capabilities,
which filter and visualize not only Level 2-4 traffic, but also
Layer 7 application traffic, so that suspicious applications can be
tagged and watched.
