Visionary Approach

The VSS Monitoring family of network packet brokers (NPB) is a comprehensive portfolio of network infrastructure appliances that enables customers to gain network-wide visibility and traffic capture for their ecosystem of network performance and security tools. Unlike traditional network TAP (test access port) and aggregator products, it provides link-layer visibility and access across LAN, WAN and Internet boundaries via its unique vMesh™ architecture that seamlessly connects hundreds of packet brokers to form a brokering system or fabric across multiple locations, as well as offloads multiple processing tasks from IT tools, making them significantly more efficient and yielding higher return on investment (ROI). Additionally, it provides unique support for brokering packets to inline security tools, enabling security-in-layers architectures to perform optimally and as designed.

Industry Leading Products

VSS Monitoring network packet brokers provides the widest access to, and link-layer visibility across, the entire network, enabling the most effective application and network performance monitoring , due to maximum tool efficiency with full integration and leveraging of security tools across local and global networks. VSS NPBs extended lifecycles for network monitoring and security tools, enabling higher ROI and better investment protection for our customer's tools and solutions. VSS has pioneered many industry firsts including the vMesh™ architecture that allows up to 256 network packet brokers to be meshed together to create a fault-tolerant fabric to enable a system-level approach to the network monitoring and security infrastructure. It creates unprecedented visibility, density, and scale for NPBs and for the analysis and service assurance solutions they support.
