Cloud Visibility

Dynamic network intelligence powers better security, visibility, and performance monitoring for the cloud

CLOUDLENS

Keysight’s platform for public, private, and hybrid cloud visibility, CloudLens enables packet capture, filtering, and analysis to provide dynamic network intelligence in any cloud environment. A platform-agnostic, auto-scaling, and easy-to-use platform, CloudLens helps organizations do the following:

• Reduce risk by capturing cloud-based packet data
• Improve security and performance with actionable intelligence
• Increase efficiency with intelligence filtering and load balancing

With its unique cloud-native architecture, CloudLens is a natural fit for cloud-only and cloud-first strategies, along with organizations that utilize multi-cloud or hybrid environments. When network security and performance matter most, organizations trust CloudLens to shed light on their most vulnerable blind spots.

PUBLIC, PRIVATE, OR HYBRID CLOUD. SEE INTO ANY CLOUD.

Packet-Level Visibility into Your Public Clouds Public clouds offer elasticity, scalability, and cost savings, but a lack of packet data can make it difficult to prevent performance problems or secure vulnerable blind spots. When visibility matters most, CloudLens gives you complete access to packet data in your public cloud.

Maximum Flexibility for Private Cloud Visibility Private clouds give your users faster access to applications and services. However, without access to inter-VM traffic, your security, APM, and NPM tools are not getting a holistic view. No matter your hypervisor, CloudLens makes it easy to gain packet-level visibility in your private cloud.

Complete Visibility for Hybrid Cloud Environments A mix of public and private clouds is versatile, however many solutions are unable to capture packets in hybrid environments without complex and costly workarounds. When you need a seamless, stress-free solution, CloudLens gives you visibility without the headaches.

PROTECT YOUR NETWORK FROM INTERRUPTION, AN INLINE LIFELINE FOR GROWING NETWORKS

Problem: Inline Tool Risk

Networks face a continuously evolving barrage of security threats. Directly deploying inline security tools can create a line of defense, but these tools can also result in single points of failure. Even a potent mix of security and analytics tools can lead to risks as regular rebooting, maintenance, and upgrades increase the chances of costly network outages.

And in the event an inline tool becomes unavailable, it can completely bring down the network link, significantly compromising network up time and disrupting business continuity.

Example of a HA configuration for the iBypass VHD

Solution: By-Pass Network Outages With Inline Protection

Our Bypass Switches provide fail-safe, inline protection designed to fit networks of any size. These switches safeguard a network with automated failover protection, preventing temporary tool outages from escalating into costly network outages.

Our Bypass Switches are deployed between inline network devices and in front of security tools, providing a reliable separation point between the network and security layers.

The result: allowing your network and security tools to support and protect your business — without the risk of network interruptions. Better yet, these bypass switches allow multiple security tools to process traffic from a single network link and offer many unique capabilities like pre-configured heartbeats, centralized management, and support for redundant or serial active tools using a single bypass.

REAL-TIME CHALLENGES FOR REAL-WORLD TESTING

These days, organizations rely on a wide variety of security solutions to protect their networks from cyber attacks and traffic anomalies. But the more tools deployed, the more complex a security infrastructure becomes. The result: a hodgepodge of security solutions that are tough to verify and challenging to scale. Worse yet, these complex system interactions pose a serious risk to security performance and network resiliency.

Today’s businesses require an application and security test solution that can verify the stability, accuracy, and quality of networks and network devices.
