Service providers, private clouds, and large enterprises must contend with the collection, processing, and aggregation of traffic from a high number of network segments, while addressing space and power constraints in the data center and managing the migration to 40 and 100Gbps network infrastructure.
According to independent research analysts, network professionals today are challenged by increasing network speeds (beyond 10Gbps) and the pressure to optimize the cost of security and operational tools – challenges especially acute in large-scale environments.
High-density, flexible visibility solutions that reliably support high speed links are critical to enabling cost-effective, large-scale network monitoring, regardless of throughput or tool processing capacity.
