VSS Monitoring Joins Extreme Networks’ Go Purple Partner Program to Optimize Network Visibility and Increase Switch Performance
VSS Monitoring, the leader in network traffic capture for packet-level visibility, today announced that it has joined Extreme Networks’ Go Purple Partner program to deliver an optimized network visibility layer and increased switch performance for Extreme Networks’ mobile enterprise and carrier solutions.
VSS Monitoring’s Distributed Traffic Capture Systems™ break the practice of a 1:1 relationship between the monitoring tool and a network link. Distributed traffic capture abstracts the traffic to be monitored into a traffic capture layer, removing the processing from the switch’s mirror port, allowing it to be optimized in real time for the monitoring infrastructure. Optimization operations may include filtering, aggregation at 10 Gigabits-per-second (Gbps), load balancing, conditional packet slicing, microburst measurement, and time and port stamping.
“The partnership with VSS Monitoring enhances the visibility and performance of our switching platforms, across the backbone and to the edge of the network.” said Dick O’Hara, director, WW alliances for Extreme Networks. “VSS Monitoring Distributed Traffic Capture Systems deployed with Extreme Networks offers a best-in-class visibility layer to optimize monitoring and security.”
“We are delivering the visibility essential to the scalability and reliability of Extreme Networks’ best-in-class enterprise and carrier mobility solutions,” said Kevin Jablonski, VSS Monitoring vice president of sales and global alliances. “The unprecedented scalability of VSS Distributed Traffic Capture Systems helps ensure that Extreme Networks Ethernet solutions meet the toughest challenges in network connectivity and IP-based communications.”
VSS Monitoring Distributed Traffic Capture Systems and vStack+™ architecture scales packet-level visibility across Extreme Networks’ enterprise and carrier mobility products, supporting 10 Gbps deployments for VoIP, security, and analytic monitoring applications.
Extreme Networks deliver networks optimized for the new mobile world of people and machines, providing pervasive access, awareness and control from the converged edge to the cloud. Its carrier Ethernet switches provide service providers with flexible and cost effective solutions to meet their high availability requirements for converged services.
