These new cost-effective and scalable solutions help IT teams supporting hyperscale and microscale data centers, resolve application performance bottlenecks, trouble shoot problems, and improve data center automation, as well as better utilize network analysis and security tools.
 
Ixia’s Vision portfolio of NPBs provides intelligent, sophisticated, and programmable network flow optimization, delivering comprehensive visibility and security coverage. The new Vision Edge 40 and Vision Edge 100 offer real-time visibility, insight, and security into high density hyperscale and microscale data centers, even as they expand. Each is capable of inline and out-of-band deployments, and delivers control, coverage, and performance to protect and improve crucial networking, data center, and cloud business assets.
 
Vision Edge 40 and Vision Edge 100 offer the following customer benefits:
Ease of use, with web interfaces offering an intuitive network-to-tools layout, enabling users to easily translate to real-life physical configurations, and 3 stages of filtering: ingress, dynamic, and egress; naturally providing a built-in capability for AND/OR logic, and simplifying configuration of complex Boolean filtering rules. 
 
They also deliver high performance, with multi-speed capability, enabling them to be used for initial deployments and scaled for the required throughput.
 
“IT management will appreciate the flexibility and agility of Vision Edge 40 and Vision Edge 100,” says Recep Ozdag, Vice President of Product Management at Ixia. “They can build a data-center at any size, and leverage a standalone NPB that does everything they need right out of the box, while also having the best balance of features and value, which is crucial for managing an efficient and cost effective IT operation.”
 
Ixia’s Vision Edge 40 and Vision Edge 100 can be used as standalone devices or as part of a robust Security Fabric when combined with Ixia’s turnkey Vision ONE network packet broker. This combination creates a powerful visibility engine that delivers the right traffic to the right security and monitoring tools, while enabling customers to leverage Ixia’s advanced visibility intelligence features in Vision ONE to optimize traffic analysis and security tool performance. These include PacketStack capabilities, which offer intelligent packet filtering, manipulation, and transport, as well as AppStack capabilities, which filter and visualize not only Level 2-4 traffic, but also Layer 7 application traffic, so that suspicious applications can be tagged and watched.
