Guide to Visibility Use Cases: Reducing Network Costs
White Papers
Introduction
As networks grow and become increasingly complex, maintenance costs rise. You can increase efficiency and reduce costs by using a visibility architecture that reveals where blind spots occur.
This paper outlines key network monitoring topics that can help you detect and minimize network inefficiencies and reduce monitoring costs. These topics include:
- data filtering, deduplication, and aggregation
- load balancing and automation
- header stripping and packet trimming
- virtual and physical monitoring
- port tagging and time stamping
- extended burst protection
- visibility architecture monitoring and management
A network visibility architecture reduces costs by:
- Filtering data intelligently
- Sending the right data to the right tools at the right time
- Load balancing traffic to extend tool life
- Preventing blind spots that often lead to security breaches
