Vision 7816
Datenblätter.
The need for real-time visibility into network data has never been greater. Being able to know how applications and services are performing is no longer a nice to have. It is also imperative to have the ability to quickly quantify threats from within and outside of your network.
Current reality is that compute, storage and networks are now software defined and built by the rack and containers. And, in keeping with demand to deliver lower operating expense and offering the best-of-breed in software-defined flexibility, visibility is lost at every layer as installations get dense and traffic moves east-west within a rack and north-south between racks.
More servers, more switching layers, more virtual platform translate to more visibility blind spots.
Keysight’s new Vision 7816 network packet brokers are designed to provide rack-level visibility through a solution that allows seamless integration into existing hybrid SDN architectures, offering true flexible multi-speed capability, and a comprehensive feature set for the versatility to adapt to the future ensuring your Security Fabric’s strength, all while offering a compelling total cost of ownership.
Highlights
• High density 2U platform for visibility per rack service
• 64 QSFP28 front ports
• Supports 10G, 25G, 40G, 50G and 100G
• Inline and OOB capable
• Ixia Fabric Controller (IFC) cluster support
• Fully featured with Keysight’s robust NetStack capabilities: Aggregation, replication, filtering, and load balancing
• Keysight’s patented filter compiler and three stages of filtering for one-of-a-kind flexibility in managing network and tool traffic profile
• Priority-based filtering including inline and HA configurations
• Native GRE/VxLAN tunneling (origination and termination)
Key Features:
• High-density multi-speed network packet broker that is designed for deployment in racks to aggregate traffic
• Exceptionally feature rich stand-alone packet broker that support 10G, 40G, 25/50G, and 100G networks
• Easy-to-use web-interface allows you to focus on security rather than configuration
• Space efficient 2RU design with 64x100G ports saves rack space in your data center
• Comprehensive wizards that make inline tool deployment extremely easy
• Inline and out-of-band capable for flexibility
• Secure serial console port with authentication
• Management port IP allow-list
• IFC cluster supports any-to-any topology with tools either a single hop or multiple hops away
• Filtering on IPv4/IPv6 fragments
• Memory optimization to allow more filtering rules with limited space
• Priority based filtering supports IPv4 and IPv6 filtering
• Native L2GRE/VxLAN termination and origination including conditional header stripping
Use Cases
• For top-of-the-rack visibility for a single site deployment with network taps and security tools
• In a leaf-spine architecture, aggregating across multiple racks in a smaller or microscale data center
• In a distributed network, Vision 7816 can be used with Vision E40/E100 or Vision ONE/Vision X to form an Ixia Fabric Controller (IFC) cluster for a single pane of glass management and operation, so tools at a central location can be shared among multiple branches
• IFC cluster in spine-and-leaf topology offers the most resilient architecture that provides auto failover and active-active load balance
• Taking traffic from Cisco ACI environment or other data centers and perform conditional VxLAN header stripping with matching VNI
