VSS vStack Over IP network intelligence optimisation system

The VSS vStack Over IP network intelligence optimisation system allows network engineers to instantly direct traffic from any SPAN or TAP to any performance or security tool without moving a single cord. Only VSS is said to enable all of this to be done safely and securely over LAN, WAN, and even the cloud.

Getting all of the desired traffic to monitoring tools is no longer geographically limited. VSS vStack Over IP technology provides access to all required network ports, capturing all network traffic and then aggregating and filtering it before forwarding to each of the user’s tool sets, no matter where they are located. The traffic flow can then be load balanced across multiple tool instances to enable them to be more fully used, handling all the traffic of interest.

Users can freely make use of dedicated networks or ‘the cloud’ for getting the data securely from the network points to the tools. In addition to a substantial reduction in CAPEX, this also provides 100% network visibility with no blind spots.

Benefits include: instantly direct traffic from any source to any tool in the network or cloud, eliminating blind spots; share tools across the cloud, eliminate tool silos and direct traffic to them securely over IP without configuring tunnels between routers; optimise tool utilisation and reduce the number of performance and security tools required for 100% coverage; OPEX reduction - accelerate the time to respond and diagnose network problems, all while improving efficiencies to use the tools and support them; MTTR reduction - achieve the standard 99.999% uptime and maximise revenue-generating uptime.
