Ixia Announces CloudLens Platform
Visualization across private, public, and hybrid cloud networks
Beijing, China,20165month12day, an industry-leading provider of network testing, visibility and security solutions, Ixia (Nasdaq: XXIA) announced its launch today.CloudLens™, this is a comprehensive network visibility platform that integrates Ixia's existing solutions and planning products and integrates private cloud, public cloud and hybrid cloud environments. Ixia CloudLens platform not only integrates the powerful capabilities of virtual network probes, data packets and application flow filtering, but also has advanced application identification and geolocation capabilities, Netflow, SSL decryption, and industry-leading deduplication functions, which can be used in physical and virtual environments. Bring unprecedented network traffic insights to service providers, cloud service providers and various enterprises.
ultra-large-scale deployment is to match the system configuration with changing requirements. Although cloud services have the value of resource pools and elastic expansion, the ability to monitor virtual traffic at this scale has been limited. The virtual probe and data filtering framework of the CloudLens platform will be able to meet the elastic needs of different cloud customers in a multi-tenant self-service mode. With CloudLens platform products, users can reduce the deployment of highly scalable traffic monitoring systems that can be completed in hours or even days to within a few minutes.
CloudLens platform will be a product that integrates powerful embedded automation functions. It supports virtual probes and analysis tools, and can automatically handle demand changes or failures without operator's cyclic operation. In addition, virtualization analysis tools have important options to help customers who do not want to return virtual data to central physical analysis tools to save bandwidth in cloud environments.
market research company, said Kerravala: "CloudLens platforms have overturned the rules of the game for cloud deployment. As various cloud environments are different from each other, the ability to deliver network data collection systems and ensure security and real-time monitoring in multiple cloud environments will become crucial. Ixia is building a system framework that is independent of the provider-specific hypervisor environment."
Currently, CloudLens platforms can support OpenStack KVM, VMWare ESXi and NSX and will be applicable to Microsoft Hyper-V later in the quarter. The CloudLens platform provides a variety of probe products, and its network tunnel functions include GRE, VLAN and ERSPAN. In addition, the platform will provide full flexibility for deploying private, public and hybrid clouds.
At the same time, the CloudLens platform also incorporated the previously released Ixia visibility solution tailored for the cloud environment, laying a solid foundation for the future expansion of the platform, including: cloud traffic access solutionVirtualization Tap™, Network Activity Insight SolutionApplication and Threat Intelligence Processor™ (ATIP™),and integrated ATIP and Splunk Enterprise, a solution that can monitor and analyze users, devices, applications and behaviors in real time.IxFlow® App for Splunk® Enterprise. In addition, the CloudLens platform also includes Ixia's seamless, single virtual management platform for hybrid cloud deployment.Net Tool Optimizer® (NTO™) software.
Ixia, pointed out: "CloudLens platform demonstrates Ixia's widely recognized position in the industry while perfectly integrating technological innovation with solutions to real network challenges. We are committed to meeting challenges and continuously promoting innovation based on years of rich experience to help customers provide unprecedented visibility to various cloud environments."
