Keysight Ensures Scalable, Efficient Access to Packet Data Across Any Network

Keysight's intelligent network visibility platform equips LiveAction's LiveWire packet capture and LiveNX NPM solutions with reliable, real-time access to physical, virtual, and cloud traffic. Keysight physical (copper, fiber, industrial) and virtual TAPs capture traffic anywhere in the network and forward it to Keysight purpose-built Network Packet Brokers (NPBs) for processing and streamlined delivery to LiveAction solutions.

Operating Out-of-Band (OOB) between network access points and LiveAction solutions, Keysight NPBs:

  • Aggregate traffic from multiple TAPs and switched port analyzer (SPAN) ports to eliminate unwieldy 1:1 connections that fail to scale.
  • Process and optimize aggregated traffic by removing duplicate packets and filtering unnecessary data.
  • Replicate, load balance and deliver pre-processed, analysis-ready data to LiveAction and other monitoring tools.
  • Optimize the capacity and utilization of network performance management and security monitoring tools by sending precisely the right data to the right tools at the right time.
  • Keysight's Vision Orchestrator (KVO) acts as the central point of management, automation, and orchestration of all Keysight visibility solutions to enable scale and industry-best ease of use.
