Within the span of a decade, the use of server virtualization has become a standard industry practice. This shift has dramatically improved IT efficiency in companies around the world, benefiting from improved scalability, high availability, and greater workload portability. Businesses can now do more with less.
This shift also means that you need a new, scalable and easy to manage approach to get complete visibility into (inter-) VM traffic, in order to monitor for performance, security, and availability. To gain visibility in virtual traffic and forward filtered network traffic to network security and network monitoring tools, you need a Virtual TAP (vTAP).
Enables security, availability, and performance through proactive monitoring of virtual data centers
Complete visibility of traffic in virtual environments, eliminating blind spots
Central management interface for a single overview of the entire virtual visibility system
Filtering helps bring down the virtual traffic to actionable data and prevent network congestion
Easily scalable
Forward virtual traffic back into physical network for analysis
