Achieve Network Visibility in the Public Cloud
白皮書
Introduction
Organizations in every market sector, even those not typically associated with technology, are migrating workloads to the public cloud. This trend is growing because of the increased flexibility and agility the cloud offers. Whether cloud workloads represent web services or business-critical applications, they must execute with the same level of performance, security, and compliance as in traditional data centers.
Challenges
In the data center, network engineers make copies of packets that pass through their physical network devices and forward them to monitoring tools for inspection and analysis. When an organization moves workloads from the data center to the public cloud, the IT team no longer has physical access to the infrastructure. However, the need to monitor packets remains —to identify active threats, monitor network performance, and diagnose application issues. How do the teams responsible for security and network operations get visibility to the data they need?
