(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?
Visibility Fabrics
Network Packet Brokers
Centralized Monitoring

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

Case Study: Top Tier Broadcaster
Intermittent problems in production network
Existing analytics products unable to scale
Customer needed more visibility
Budget of $800K for project
Traditional NPB vendor quoted $2m
DANZ delivered same functionality for $150K
Endace delivered packet visibility for $650K
True 10Gbps solution
– Support for 40 and 100GbE

Looking Forward
Demand for visibility is only
going to increase
Volume of traffic is going to
increase
Requirement for orchestration at
the access layer
Triggered recording around
events for rapid analysis
….tighter integration between the
access and recording

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
