Due to fundamental hardware architectural
advantages, Keysight forwarded traffic at all packet sizes; Gigamon
dropped traffic at packet sizes of 512 bytes and smaller
Keysight Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: KEYS), a leading technology
company that helps enterprises, service providers and governments
accelerate innovation to connect and secure the world, announced
that the company commissioned The Tolly Group to evaluate the
advanced packet processing capability, specifically deduplication,
and the application intelligence of the company’s Vision X network
packet broker (NPB) compared with Gigamon’s GigaVUE-HC3 with
Control Card version 2 multi-purpose visibility fabric.
Network visibility is essential to network security and
performance management. In practical terms, visibility relies on
network packet brokers to process traffic reliably and
intelligently. Additionally, application intelligence is critical
to achieving complete visibility. NPBs need to detect, report,
filter and present network traffic and application data to security
monitoring tools consistently and reliably.
According to The Tolly Group, the premier independent test lab
and provider of third-party validation, Keysight Vision X delivers
architectural superiority through its innovative design and memory
optimization, as well as stable and consistent application
intelligence even when the CPU is overloaded.
“Network security and performance management relies heavily on a
proper network visibility design. The key element to this is the
network packet broker which must be able to remove duplicate
packets and deliver information without loss to the network
security tools,” stated Kevin Tolly, founder, The Tolly Group.
“Keysight commissioned the Tolly Group to compare their Vision X
platform against a major competitor. Vision X demonstrated clear
architectural superiority, 2.5 times more packet processing power
with no drop, and fast and accurate application detection and
metadata generation.”
The Tolly Test Report also highlights that Keysight’s Vision X
NPB delivers:
- Greater system-wide advanced packet processing capacity of
2Tbps to Gigamon’s 800Gbps.
- High performance packet deduplication with no packet drop where
Gigamon drops packets at 512-byte payloads and below.
- Accurate application detection within seconds under load where
Gigamon requires over two minutes and product inaccurate
results.
“This Tolly report is testament that Keysight is delivering
industry leading network packet brokers, which are used by
organizations around the world to monitor and secure their
business-critical applications and networks,” stated Recep Ozdag,
vice president and general manager for Enterprise and Network
Visibility at Keysight. “Using a repeatable comparison, the Tolly
Group has proven, with real-life data, that the superior
architecture developed by Keysight offers high performance
monitoring, ease-of-use and rapid response without dropping
packets."
Keysight’s Vision portfolio of NPBs deliver real-time,
end-to-end dynamic network intelligence for physical, virtual,
software defined networking (SDN) and network functions
virtualization (NFV) based infrastructure. They deliver control,
coverage and performance seamlessly to protect and improve critical
networking, data center and cloud business assets. As a result of
an improved understanding of the network and data center, IT teams
can quickly resolve performance bottlenecks, troubleshoot problems,
and improve data center automation, as well as maximize utilization
of expensive network analysis and security tools.
