(Re)defining Network Visibility Infrastructure

Delivering visibility as the combination of:– Data Aggregation AND Intelligent Network Recording layers– Port densities and scales from small to massive cloud-scale

Visibility infrastructure gives organizations:– Ability to feed monitoring tools with feeds of any network traffic to 100Gbps– Network history to help operational teams resolve issues quickly

Why Do We Care About Visibility?

Cost of downtime measured in millions of dollars per hour

Visibility is key to effective DETECTION and RESOLUTION

The more critical the network, the more visibility is required

– Broadcasters, utilities, telcos, service providers…

But not ALL visibility is about DETECTION and RESOLUTION:

– Compliance

– Containment

– Policy enforcement

– Network optimization

– Network planning

Second Generation Visibility – A History Lesson

Nothing new about the need to see what’s going on

SPAN, patch-panels, mirroring have existed since dawn of time

Most organizations have some kind of sniffers, somewhere…

Reactive problem solving was the norm

…..now the IT world

has changed, we said

goodbye to our crash carts!

A Brave New World of IT Service Delivery

Data center consolidation, automation and cloud emerged

Virtualization and data growth brought huge scale and volume

Fast 10G, 40G and 100G networking are everywhere today

…new approaches to better visibility, but at what cost?

Out With The Old….

First generation network visibility was unable to scale

Modern proprietary NPBs are proving to be too expensive

Sniffers can not scale to 10GbE much less 40 and 100GbE

….enter a new generation of network visibility, software simplicity

Conclusions

Organizations only becoming more network centric

– Need for visibility is growing rapidly

Understanding impact of downtime on your organization is key

Pervasive visibility is now practical and cost effective

…there’s no excuse to NOT be prepared for the inevitable
