Vision X (Model: Vision X) Network Packet Broker

Introduction

Keysight’s Vision X is the next-generation network visibility solution. It delivers expandability and flexibility that meets the ever-evolving needs of the data center. Vision X is a high-density, modular chassis comprised of customizable front modules and multi-speed port choices. It also supports a rear, advanced packet processing module, extending the total packet processing capacity of the chassis. With a small data center footprint, Vision X conserves both power and rack space. Its footprint, along with its upgradable chassis, will improve your overall ROI now and in the future.

Highlights

• High-density 100GE, 3RU modular chassis

• Full-duplex, non-blocking, and line rate L2 forwarding of 12.8 Tbps

• Supports individual configuration of 10G, 25G, 40G, 50G or 100G speeds

• Hot-swappable fans, power, and 4 front modules, 1 rear module

• Up to 2 Tbps of advanced packet processing (dedup, header stripping, timestamping, etc.)

• PTP 1588 Time Stamping

• High performance 5G visibility

• IFC clustering with other Vision platforms to offer a single pane of glass management

• Superior architecture enables maximum use of filter memory for each installed module

• High-performance module for application detection, metadata generation, and Inline/OOB decryption

• Ease of use, best in the class WebUI

Key features

• Automated filter compiler that simplifies configuration using either the powerful GUI or REST API

• Zero-loss, advanced packet processing improves tool efficiency through deduplication, packet trimming, and header stripping without dropping packets

• Space efficient 3RU design saves rack space in your data center

• 5G visibility provides unparalleled more core visibility and insight for service providers and operators, enabling optimization of network performance through correlation, sampling, and network slice awareness.

• Inline decryption provides the ability to decrypt and re-encrypt traffic as a transparent proxy for both inline and out-of-band tool deployments. Offloads the decryption burden from tools to improve ROI and security performance

• Application intelligence with hundreds of pre-loaded signatures for app detection and reporting, app filtering and metadata generation

• Comprehensive wizards make inline tool deployment extremely easy for complex use cases that require tool sharing or VLAN translation

• Secure serial console port with authentication

• Support management port IP allow-list

• IFC cluster supports any-to-any topology with tools either a single hop or multiple hops away

• IFC cluster and Inline HA are the most resilient architecture for OOB monitoring and Inline tool deployment respectively

• Native L2GRE/VxLAN origination and termination, including conditional header stripping

• Filtering on IP4/IPv6 fragments
