TCO and Increased ROI 2 Monitoring and Security Pitfalls 3
Overcoming Blind Spots with a Virtual Tap 4 Transporting Virtual
Traffic to Existing Monitoring Tools 5

4 Data Center Infrastructure $480k/annually for
support/warranty costs for 1600 physical servers Server resources
are not balanced and many are underutilized/over- utilized 1600+

Security & Monitoring Virtualization Creates Security,
Monitoring and Compliance Risks No visibility into inter-VM
traffic, vulnerabilities or threats Lacks auditing of data passing
between virtual servers Inability to pinpoint resource utilization
issues

77 Alternative Solutions Switch Level Monitoring: enabling
monitor/SPAN ports Degrades overall production network Configure VM
to run in Promiscuous Mode CPU performance degrades due to traffic
volume Hypervisor Level Monitoring: enabling Port Mirroring Network
capacity reduced by up to 50%

11 Virtual Tap Key Takeaways Key FeatureAdvantageBenefit
End-to-End Inter-VM Traffic Visibility Provides Auditing and
Performance Data Achieve Compliance Standards for PCI-DSS, HIPAA,
etc Kernel Level Implementation Low CPU and Memory Requirements Low
Impact on Virtual Server Performance Does Not Run in
Promiscuous/SPAN Mode Delivers Visibility of Inter- VM Traffic to
Existing Physical Tools No Need to Purchase New Virtual Monitoring
Tools Lower CAPEX, Higher ROI of Existing Tools Converged Physical
and Virtual Monitoring Optimize Tool Utilization
