Delivering analysis-ready traffic to monitoring tools

Maximizing the efficiency of network and application performance monitoring requires streamlining the delivery of analysis-ready traffic to monitoring tools. Increased operational efficiency can improve detection, investigation, threat hunting, and response. Deploying a network visibility platform to collect and prepare traffic for analysis reduces overhead and boosts return on investments (ROI) in monitoring and security. To alleviate perennial skills shortages, manage visibility programmatically across the enterprise.

An intelligent visibility architecture uses taps to collect traffic from networks and clouds, an efficient alternative to switch ports. Taps funnel data to network packet brokers (NPBs) that aggregate, filter, and process traffic (including packet slicing, time-stamping, and data masking) for analysis. Automated filtering of duplicate packets and unwanted headers on a per-tool basis conserves bandwidth and pay-as-you-go cloud resources. NPBs then deliver traffic to monitoring tools, balancing the load to optimize utilization and ensure scale. The monitoring tools break down traffic into lower-rate streams that existing tools can handle to ensure the data center works smarter and faster as networks evolve.

Intelligent network visibility solution

Achieving good network visibility requires data access and data distribution to your monitoring and security appliances. Offloading the filtering and encryption of network traffic to a visibility platform reduces the work done by monitoring tools to avoid oversubscription. The Keysight network visibility solution helps load balance traffic and delivers only the data each monitoring tool needs for analysis. The solution improves efficiency by 30% to 50% to reduce run costs and avoid premature upgrades.
