Network Intelligence and Optimization:

MKAdvantage is pleased to announce we are now providing VSS Monitoring products.

After careful study of issues facing our customers and a survey of the players in the domain we have determined that VSS Monitoring is the clear market leader in network intelligence optimization, offering a powerful combination of superior innovation and compelling price points.

Network intelligence optimization provides greater return on network and security tool investment, and cost-effectively extends visibility throughout the entire network.

The VSS systems are composed of purpose-built hardware devices -- specifically for network intelligence optimization. They interconnect to provide a failsafe, scalable network intelligence optimization layer.

This layer scales the connections between network switches and the entire ecosystems of network intelligence tools, eliminating the non-scalable, inefficient one-tool-per-switch approach.

VSS distributed network taps capture all network traffic and filter it, sending only traffic of interest to your analytics, security, and WAN acceleration tools.; enabling tools to run at capacity; avoiding over subscription or under subscription.

  ●  Eliminate SPAN Port contention – and get better quality   traffic information.

  ● Extend the life of 1G tools – with VSS Monitoring customers   are monitoring 10G links with their existing 1G tools,   maximizing the leverage of in-place network infrastructure   and monitoring infrastructure.

VSS Monitoring systems are fully-redundant, self-aware and scalable, providing complete network visibility, user-controlled network data access, greater operational efficiency and demonstrably better ROI. Traffic intelligence extensions are available for specific optimizations including filtering, packet optimization and failsafe monitoring.

VSS has 2 main product lines: the Distributed Tap Series and the Protector Series.

The Distributed Taps Series provides intelligent, purpose-  built hardware devices, that passively tap inline networks or   connect to SPAN ports.  They’re able to  mesh together to form   network intelligence optimization systems, grooming and   forwarding   traffic to network intelligence tools. Traffic   filtering, packet optimization and failsafe monitoring improves   the efficiency of tools and provides complete visibility into the   network.

The Protector Series allows customers to incorporate active   monitoring appliances (such as intrusion prevention systems   and proxy servers) into network monitoring optimization   architecture.

The Protector Series allows filtering, load-balancing, and speed   and media conversion of traffic to your active security tools,   while maintaining high availability and defining triggers based   on the security levels needed for your network infrastructure.
