New iBypass VHD Improves Security Resilience
with Non-Stop Visibility/Monitoring
Ixia (Nasdaq: XXIA), a leading provider of network testing,
visibility, and security solutions, today announced iBypass™ VHD, a
modular, high-density, inline bypass switch that sets a new
standard for network bypass switches available today. iBypass VHD,
the highest density bypass switch on the market today, combines
reliable Ixia technology with next-generation intelligence and
flexibility to help ensure that security tools have continuous
visibility into network traffic. The newest addition to the
company’s expanding portfolio of bypass switches, iBypass VHD can
improve security infrastructure uptime and overall reliability with
consistent network visibility and monitoring.
Today’s organizations face many network concerns, including an
increasing volume of multiprotocol traffic at higher data rates and
mounting security threats. Deploying inline tools to inspect and
control network traffic can help block incoming threats, but inline
tools can also complicate network operations while creating
numerous potential points of failure which can significantly
compromise network uptime and disrupt business continuity.
Ixia’s bypass switches deliver fail-safe, inline protection that
helps safeguard a network with automated failover, which prevents
temporary tool outages from escalating into costly network outages.
Ixia’s iBypass VHD is the first bypass switch to support both
active-standby and active-active network/security architectures.
Active-standby offers improved security resilience with a primary
and secondary tool that helps ensure ongoing network monitoring.
Active–active enables a diverse deployment of security tools to
maximize existing and new IT investments.
Rapid deployment and centralized management deliver immediate
time to value
Ixia’s iBypass VHD offers at least 1.5 times the density of all
other bypass switches available, and provides a powerful, yet
easy-to-use, interface. Its drag-and-drop functionality
significantly reduces setup time and ongoing support costs.
It is the only bypass switch offering preset, integrated
security tool heartbeats built into the user interface.
Preconfigured to automatically integrate with security tools via a
single click, iBypass VHD is designed for rapid set up and delivers
immediate time to value, while limiting potential errors during
deployment.
Ixia iBypass VHD offers centralized and simplified management,
leveraging Indigo Pro. Indigo Pro is a central management tool for
bypass switches that simplifies and speeds configuration and
management of tens to hundreds of devices, which is ideal for any
large-scale, dispersed deployments. This enables organizations to
quickly implement a resilient security architecture across their
entire network infrastructure.
Competitive Advantage for Channel Partners, Business
Advantage for Customers
iBypass VHD supports up to twelve 10G bypass switches in one
unit, three times more than previous versions, to maximize valuable
data center real estate and give Ixia channel partners a compelling
new tool to add to their end-to-end network visibility
offerings.
Ixia’s bypass switches offer partners the ability to deliver
fail-safe deployment for their customer’s inline security tools,
and when deployed in conjunction with an Ixia network packet
broker, such as Vision One™, partners can offer their customers a
high level of confidence that their network security resilience is
the best that is available today.
Pricing and Availability
iBypass VHD is currently available via authorized Ixia channel
partners at a starting US List price of $21,000.
