A network packet broker is a relatively new technology that provides visibility and brokering of network packets, while optimizing and scaling the connectivity between network switching and the entire network of performance and security analytics, inline security and WAN acceleration tools.


Traditional network monitoring tools rely purely on Switched Port Analyzer (SPAN) ports, traditional aggregators and/or Netflow, so they don’t have access to the real physical and link layer of the network.

A network packet broker’s functionality enables networks to better use analytics to ensure a higher level of performance. Network packet broker also increase visibility significantly into the network traffic, drive operational efficiency and bring greater ROI.

Expanding the reach of the network packet broker functionality into new regions, VSS Monitoring has now signed Westcon Middle East, a value-add distributor of convergence, infrastructure, mobility and security products and solutions, as its distributor in the Middle East.

"Our partners have been instrumental in making VSS the leader in network security and monitoring visibility systems," said Dean Beaver, vice president of Worldwide Sales and Alliances, in a statement. "Our investment in the Westcon Group (News - Alert) Middle East reflects our commitment to our partners' success by providing the programs, training and support that will help them accelerate their business growth."

VSS’s feature rich family of network packet broker solutions allows IT professionals to both monitor and manage even the largest networks. The network monitoring system is estimated to reduce an end user's overall network monitoring costs by up to 80 percent. 

Under this distributorship deal, Westcon Middle East will distribute the entire product range of VSS Monitoring’s (News - Alert) network packet broker solutions in the region. The company will also offer the network packet broker solutions through its extensive network of specialty resellers and system integrators across the region.
