Helping to eliminate blind spots

Ixia has introduced its Visibility Architecture that easily integrates into data center environments to help enterprises and service providers achieve greater visibility into and performance for rapidly growing complex networks. The architecture helps eliminate blind spots and supports business agility by providing actionable insights into performance degradations and potential security issues as the network grows.

Network operators are under significant pressure to adapt to change faster than ever before. The rapid adoption of cloud, mobility, video, collaboration and big data is driving unprecedented network growth and complexity, which is compounded by new regulations and virtualization of workloads and services, as well as security needs. In order to maintain network health and ensure a high-quality user experience, network operators need full visibility.

With the recent acquisition of Net Optics, Ixia offers the industry’s most comprehensive network visibility product portfolio. This portfolio serves as the foundation of the new Visibility Architecture and includes network access solutions, network packet brokers, application and session visibility solutions, and an integrated management platform.

This portfolio provides enterprises and service providers with a single integrated resource to address all of their visibility needs. Ixia is the only company to offer this comprehensive and fully integrated Visibility Architecture that enables end-to-end visibility across the entire network, including mixed physical and virtual network environments. In addition, this architecture supports both passive monitoring and fail-safe inline security deployments.
