Increasing value of your network requires proactive strategy
Infrastructure growth results in…
Untapped information needed for real-time
analytics
Distributed ‘silo’ approach to
problem solving

Suboptimal return

Problems with Legacy Methods
IT Challenge
Management tools become overwhelmed
A decrease in key data delivered to key tools
Network Speeds
Encryption and Virtualization
Topology and Port Limitations
• Security & network analysis solutions may not be up to latest network
speeds
• Technologies like SSL and SDN ‘hide’ traffic
• Updates to the production network are disruptive to the business
A rise in single points of failure, ‘blind spots’

Three principles of Active Visibility
Secure• Assure privacy and
compliance
• Extend the life of existing tools and reduce the cost of new tools
Pervasive
• Pervasive visibility from the physical to the virtual
• Find problems faster
• Tool agnostic = best-of-breed solutions
Intelligent
• Enables real-time traffic collection for big data analytics
• Provides agility to anticipate, react, respond
• Context-aware to enable dynamic re-configuration based on real-time conditions

Active Visibility brings flexibility, visibility and control
Gain visibility for security and analytics tools
Provide visibility across physical and virtual infrastructure
Enable real-time data capture and analysis
Shorten technology evaluation cycles
Gain flexibility to integrate new best-of-breed network tools
Intelligently direct and groom traffic
Distribute the right traffic to the right solution
