What are some of the challenges that cloud, mobility, big data bring in to the network?
IT trends such as cloud, mobility and big data means that network operators have to adapt to change faster than ever before. While IT may have been able to keep up with growth in the past, they now need to also worry about compliance with new regulations, virtualization of workloads and services, evolving security needs, and migration of applications between data centers and the cloud. By adding the amount of change in the network that these trends are creating, networks and IT administrators are in dire need of a new framework to increase their visibility across the network.
In addition to these trends, outside influences have impacted the network with the mass adoption of the “Consumerization of IT”. In return, enterprise organizations and service providers are spending more time focused on delivering customer service and infrastructure and application management is sometimes overlooked.
What’s the extra intelligence that visibility architecture brings in for network managers?
Ixia is uniquely positioned to manage and monitor change within networks through the company’s deep expertise and early involvement in validating new technologies. By leveraging this deep knowledge, Ixia has developed a complete visibility portfolio, enabling customers to build a Visibility Architecture that best fits the need of their network today and tomorrow.
Ixia’s Visibility Architecture provides the most scalable network visibility framework in the industry to deliver the scale and management flexibility that easily integrates into any network or data center environment. At the same time, Ixia delivers the control and simplicity necessary to improve the usefulness of existing IT tools, further reducing operating and IT costs for customers.
What are the different solution frameworks and do they integrate with existing solutions?
Ixia’s Visibility Architecture consists of three solution frameworks that fill the IT visibility gap and enable the use of existing tool investments to gain total application and network visibility. This helps IT deliver on its Service Level Agreements (SLAs), meet its Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and provide best in class end-user service.
The NTO 7300 provides network visibility to protect tool investments and scale with the network as monitoring needs grow. It enables companies to fulfill the network visibility gap and utilize existing tool investments to achieve total application and network visibility.
Ixia’s Visibility Architecture easily integrates with data center service provisioning and orchestration systems through its RESTful API and is compatible with all existing networking solutions currently on the market.
Who are the target users of the visibility architecture?
Ixia Visibility Architecture and NTO 7300 target technical influencers implementing network and IT solutions such as the network engineer, network administrators, network architects and the network tools managers. Additionally, Ixia also works with IT decision makers such as the director of IT, VP of IT and Director of IT Security.
