Ixia Expands Visibility Portfolio to Support Micro to Hyperscale Data CentersIxia, a leading provider of network testing, visibility, and security solutions, today announced it has expanded the company's growing visibility portfolio of Vision network packet brokers (NPBs) with Vision Edge™ 40 (10/40G platform) and Vision Edge 100 (100G platform). These new cost-effective and scalable solutions help IT teams supporting hyperscale and microscale data centers, resolve application performance bottlenecks, trouble shoot problems, and improve data center automation, as well as better utilize network analysis and security tools. Today's hyperscale data centers, which are designed for expansion, as well as micro data centers, which often sit on the network edge closer to end users for an improved experience, can create significant challenges for IT organizations. These challenges range from poor network performance due to increasing size and complexity, to security issues resulting from insufficient visibility into incident detection and resolution. Many IT organizations use multiple network monitoring tools, and need to efficiently transport network traffic from thousands of network locations. Ixia's (News - Alert) solutions for highly scalable and expanding data centers Ixia's Vision portfolio of NPBs provides intelligent, sophisticated, and programmable network flow optimization, delivering comprehensive visibility and security coverage. The new Vision Edge 40 and Vision Edge 100 offer real-time visibility, insight, and security into high density hyperscale and microscale data centers, even as they expand. Each is capable of inline and out-of-band deployments, and delivers control, coverage, and performance to protect and improve crucial networking, data center, and cloud business assets. Vision Edge 40 and Vision Edge 100 offer the following customer benefits:
Ixia's Security Fabric Powers Visibility Ixia's Vision Edge 40 and Vision Edge 100 can be used as standalone devices or as part of a robust Security Fabric™ when combined with Ixia's turnkey Vision ONE™ network packet broker. This combination creates a powerful visibility engine that delivers the right traffic to the right security and monitoring tools, while enabling customers to leverage Ixia's advanced visibility intelligence features in Vision ONE to optimize traffic analysis and security tool performance. These include PacketStack capabilities, which offer intelligent packet filtering, manipulation, and transport, as well as AppStack capabilities, which filter and visualize not only Level 2-4 traffic, but also Layer 7 application traffic, so that suspicious applications can be tagged and watched.
