A study by EMA - Enterprise Management Associates, found that 66% of organizations do not have the network visibility they need. And 79% of enterprises believe it is important to establish an end-to-end visibility architecture for physical on-premises and hybrid cloud deployments.

The study stresses the importance of how data points for network visibility provides security and monitoring tools the data they need to secure networked applications.

Keysight Vision E400S network visibility solution

The new Keysight Vision E400S is the next-generation network visibility solution with comprehensive feature sets to meet the ever-evolving visibility needs of production networks, for up to 400 Gbps network speed.

What makes the Vision E400S Next-Gen Network Packet Broker so special?

  • The box is highly compact with its 1 RU size and the front panel provides 24 QSFP56 and 16 QSFP-DD ports. Each QSFP-DD can break out into smaller speed ports (200G, 100G, 40G, 50/25/10G) with the special fan-out cables.
  • It is the only NPB that supports all possible permutation of speeds, increasing the chance of interoperating with existing devices while maximizing design flexibility.
  • At the center of the device is the new IntelTM 2, P4-programmable silicon chip, which provides breakthrough performance for complex networking needs (cloud, hybrid, AI, mobile, 4G/5G, remote work, metadata, and more) which allows fast implementation of a new parser or header stripping option of any new protocols, well-known or proprietary.
  • Supports both NRZ and PAM4 standards for maximum port density and flexibility.
  • New load balance options support load balancing per port group. In addition to traditional session-aware load balance, new options also allow load balancing like asymmetric, weighted or random using tunneled IP header.
  • NEW PacketStack+ capabilities will perform advanced packet processing such as header (protocol) stripping, data masking, time-stamping and GRE / VxLAN tunnel origination at all ports of all speeds.

Edge aggregation and traffic distribution solution

Vision E400S is very versatile and with its 1 RU size can be perfectly used for top-of-rack aggregation solutions

Customers’ feedback (enterprise and service providers) found that a lot of traffic needs be handled efficiently on the network edge and not to overload the backbone network.

This next generation packet broker is the perfect solution for IT organizations with a lot of edge aggregation needs. The Vision E400S is very versatile and with its 1 RU size can be perfectly used for top-of-rack aggregation solutions.

Need to plan ahead for ever-increasing bandwidth demand

On monitoring the ever-increasing bandwidth demand from users and applications, now is the time to consider the requirements for network edge devices, which can grow and support any combination of speeds - 10G, 25G, 40G, 50G, 100G, 200G and 400G.

The Vision E400S from Keysight is the best investment that users can make today and enjoy a great ROI over the coming years.
