VSS Creates Industry's First 10-Gigabit Distributed Traffic Capture Family With Launch of V 4.24 Distributed Filter Tap

BURLINGAME, CA, Nov 17, 2008 (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX) --
VSS Monitoring today announced shipment of the first 10
Gigabit-per-second (Gb/s) Distributed Traffic Capture System(TM) for
network monitoring. The high-speed tap captures data from any point
on a network and feeds it to a central location for analysis,
providing a complete, centralized and scalable view of large
networks.
Available now, the V 4.24 Distributed Filter Tap(TM) is a high port
capacity tool with the ability to selectively aggregate and filter
traffic to optimize the use of network monitoring devices. Additional
10 Gb/s distributed traffic capture taps with a range of capacity and
speed combinations for different network environments will be
available later this year from VSS Monitoring.
The addition of the 10 Gb/s devices to VSS Monitoring's existing
product set creates the industry's most flexible array of
traffic-capture solutions, able to deploy on almost any network
topology and cost-effectively scale to any network size.
"Lack of network visibility impacts user productivity, causes lost
revenue opportunities and increases IT costs," said Bojan Simic,
Research Analyst, Network and Application Performance Management,
Aberdeen Group. "Distributed traffic capture technology represents
the first cost-scalable solution for monitoring of large networks.
Only a highly flexible system of distributed traffic capture taps can
provide the tight coupling to the network infrastructure necessary
for total network visibility."
Deployments of 10 Gb/s networks are reaching pervasive deployment
levels in large enterprises and telecommunications companies, driven
by increased data traffic and by the rapid growth of
bandwidth-intensive applications such as remote access, wireless,
VoIP, IPTV, over-the-top or broadband-based video, and cloud
computing.
"You can't monitor what you can't see," said Terence M. Breslin, VSS
Monitoring's CEO. "The only way to ensure proactive control of the
network and meet regulatory requirements and ROI objectives is with
the complete visibility provided by distributed traffic capture."
A graphical user interface provides a straightforward means to manage
the V 4.24 Distributed Filter Tap remotely or locally. It gives users
a quick way to select pre-defined filters and to build custom ones,
allowing them to choose from context-sensitive fields and pick lists,
as well as letting them enter conditional expressions directly. The
user interface employs HTTPS to ensure that the connection to the tap
is encrypted.
VSS offers the largest number of traffic capture devices, with almost
150 aggregation and replicator taps, span port capture devices and
network taps. Like other VSS Distributed Traffic Capture Systems, the
V 4.24 Distributed Filter Tap is designed for large, complex networks
whose managers face ever greater performance demands, higher threat
levels, and legally mandated security and compliance requirements.
The V 4.24 Distributed Filter Tap is available worldwide from VSS
Monitoring's channel partners. In addition, VSS Monitoring systems
are offered by many network analyzer vendors as part of a network
management solution. Users should contact VSS Monitoring for further
information, including demos, pricing and local resellers.
