3 Copyright © 2013 (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 + EndaceProbe

4 Copyright © 2013 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

5 Copyright © 2013 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!

6 Copyright © 2013 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

7 Copyright © 2013 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 Historical & Audit DB’s App. Servers Optional TAPs Software Defined Switches as Full Capability Network Packet Brokers Timestamped LANZ / AEM Detection & Automation LANZ Precision Traffic Monitoring Mirrored Port AEM Less Complexity Less Cost Better Visibility Optional TAPs Filtered Reduced Mirrored Port Intelligent network recorders Together

13 Copyright © 2013 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

14 Copyright © 2013 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

15 Copyright © 2013 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
