Ixia shipped new software features for its Net Tool Optimizer (NTO) visibility platform.
The new NTO software enables seamless, single-pane-of-glass visibility into hybrid cloud deployments, allowing a unified view of the entire network. With this update, customers will reduce the risk of security gaps and application issues from blind spots in their virtual or physical network.
The new major capabilities delivered in this release include:
- Unified visibility for virtual and physical networks under a single management interface
- Intelligent routing of application traffic
- Double the available interconnects with existing hardware
- High speed visibility with the 4x40Gbps Advanced Feature Module (AFM) hardware
Ixia’s graphical user interface, patented dynamic filtering technology and first-to-market virtual tap have combined to create unmatched visibility into hybrid cloud deployments. Ixia’s NTO now controls a consolidated data flow from physical and virtual networks that can be then shared with existing security and application performance tools. This extends their life through the virtualization migration, leveraging existing infrastructure and reducing transition risk.
Dealing with IP addresses and TCP/UDP ports are a thing of the past. Now with intelligent routing of application traffic, users can gain visibility by selecting consumer applications (such as Facebook, Netflix and YouTube), enterprise applications (such as Salesforce.com, Oracle and SAP) and user location. Clear, continuous visibility into application context is a pre-requisite for tuning performance and tightening security posture.
With this NTO update, Ixia has also enabled its patented ‘double-your-ports’ function traditionally available on its xStream product line. This technology allows users to double the interconnects available on their visibility platform, enabling them to achieve a significant improvement in return on investment while minimizing rack space consumption.
Ixia is also announcing the availability of a new advanced 160Gbps feature module, with 4x40Gbps interfaces. This module supports all existing packet grooming features such as de-duplication, slicing, stripping and tunnel termination. In addition, a new PTP (precision time-stamping) module enables nanosecond-resolution timestamping in the NTO 7300 chassis.
