Extreme MLXe Packet Brokers
10 GbE, 40 GbE, 100 GbE Network Packet
Brokers for Carrier-Grade Network Visibility
As network trac continues on an exponential growth
curve, service providers rely on a growing ecosystem of
monitoring tools to eectively secure and manage their
networks. But monitoring tools, like the networks they
monitor, face significant scalability challenges that result
in increased costs, higher operational complexity, and
reduced productivity.
To manage escalating costs and enhance tool productivity, service
providers need a scalable, programmable, and intelligent visibility
infrastructure that can curate trac in order to deliver relevant flows to
each individual tool.
Extreme MLXe Packet Brokers are NEBS Level 3-certified, highly scalable
visibility nodes that aggregate, optimize, filter, and forward replicated trac
flows from the production network to network monitoring tools. They
support API-based, dynamic programmability for real-time, on-demand
trac visibility and are ideally suited for the high-density monitoring
requirements of the most demanding networks.
