Ixia unveils Enterprise Visibility Solutions for Smaller Deployments

For ensuring enterprise visibility for smaller network deployments such as remote and branch offices, Ixia has announced a new family of Net Tool Optimizer products. The new Ixia NTO 2112 and 2113 network monitoring switches, also known as Network Packet Brokers, take advantage of the essential core capabilities of Ixia’s enterprise-class NTO with the port capacity and entry-level price point needed for smaller network deployments.
 
Ixia NTOs intelligently connect the network with monitoring tools to aggregate, filter, load balance and de-duplicate network traffic to make their existing tools more valuable. The Ixia app allows Splunk to programmatically index, correlate and report Ixia statistics in its Big Data engine for a more complete picture of users’ monitoring infrastructure.

The Ixia NTO 2112/2113 leverages the advancements we have made to enable visibility in some of the world’s largest and most complex networks, and put it within reach for smaller network deployments that require monitoring. All mission-critical enterprise and service provider network sites require monitoring, not just the really large data centers. Network performance and security is vital in all of these sites as downtime translates to lost productivity and potentially lost revenue regardless of scale, said Scott Register, Senior Director of Product Management for Ixia.

NTO users can now download the IxiaApp from Splunk.
