VSS Monitoring Unveils the Broadest Offering of Network Packet Broker Functionality for Enterprise Network Security and Compliance
SAN FRANCISCO, CA, Feb 26, 2013 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) --
RSA Conference 2013 Booth Number 2147) -- VSS Monitoring, a leader
in network packet brokers (NPBs), today announced that it will unveil
and demonstrate new and differentiated NPB capabilities which deliver
the industry's only fabric-system approach for enhancing global
visibility and operational automation for both network security
in-line appliances and monitoring systems on enterprise networks.
Demonstrating this week at the RSA Conference 2013 in San Francisco
in VSS Monitoring's booth number 2147, its vBroker(TM) Series product
family uniquely gives customers network-wide link-layer visibility
and access to a broad set of network security in-line appliances and
monitoring systems, making the systems significantly more efficient
and yielding higher ROI. The growing number of network security
systems required for today's increasingly complex networks results in
major provisioning and operational challenges, including limited
network visibility and automation, major capital costs due to
deployment silos, and complex network upgrades that impact existing
security system speeds and effectiveness to combat today's
multi-layered cyber attacks.
New vProtector(R) Solution: New for RSA, the unique active inline
capabilities of the vProtector solution are now available on the
vBroker Series. With vProtector now on vBroker platforms,
organizations optimize active inline security applications and
layered security architectures. The solution provides failsafe
capability for each network link segment to ensure no interruption to
inline network traffic in case of power loss, and allows manual
on-demand bypass when in operation to keep security tools up and
running. A manual PowerSafe override control is also now available,
providing a single pane for operations technicians to manually
control the open, closed, and normal operation of network links when
making changes to a network or their monitoring infrastructure,
adding control to a network security organization.
"Enterprises are challenged with ensuring continuous security tool
performance and threat mitigation, and look to VSS Monitoring to
support the latest set of new security tools and services that
protect data, mitigate loss of control due to cloud and mobility
initiatives, and ensure compliance," said Gordon Beith, Director of
Product Marketing at VSS Monitoring. "We are excited to unveil these
new capabilities and demonstrate to RSA attendees how they can ensure
complete visibility into their security tool performance in real
time, maximizing ROI on these security investments and best
protecting their networks."
New vInspector(R) SSL Appliance: VSS Monitoring's vInspector SSL
appliance is also now integrated with VSS Monitoring's NPBs to
deliver expanded network traffic coverage directly to security and
monitoring tools. The vInspector SSL appliances solve a variety of
security-related IT challenges -- including providing visibility into
SSL encrypted network traffic, expanding network traffic coverage for
data accessed by monitoring and security tools, identifying security
or regulatory compliance risks in SSL encrypted traffic, accelerating
the time to diagnose performance problems and security incidents, and
making sure CAPEX and OPEX costs scale as the network grows.
New DPI-Finder Application: Finally, with the new VSS Monitoring
DPI-Finder application, VSS Monitoring can perform large-scale
filtering of network traffic using advanced deep packet inspection
(DPI) in the data payload or anywhere in the packet. The traffic
flows matching specified regular expression search patterns are
forwarded to network security, monitoring, analysis and recording
tools, increasing tool efficiency by recovering processing cycles
that were previously spent on deep packet inspection. Once a packet
matches one of the rules, all subsequent packets in that flow are
forwarded to the specified tool while unmatched traffic is dropped.
DPI-Finder forwards only matched traffic flows of interest to the
specified tool, ensuring maximum security performance.
VSS Monitoring's vBroker(TM) 200 and vBroker(TM) 300 NPB appliances
expand the capacity and interface flexibility of its packet broker
solutions while delivering the industry's richest set of features,
including traffic filtering/grooming and offloading of packet
processing to increase tool system capacity and efficiency. The
vBroker 300 Series provides the industry's highest capacity in a 1RU
format -- 560 Gbps -- and up to 56 ports per appliance, while the
vBroker 200 Series provides the flexibility of a modular chassis in
compact 1RU or 2RU form factors.
Availability and Pricing
Available today, pricing starts at $27,500
for the vBroker Series with updated capabilities. For more
