Virtualization, rogue IT, bring your own device (BYOD), and other factors are making it harder than ever to see what is happening on your network. This inability to see what is happening on the network makes it hard to secure the network, ensure regulatory compliance and deliver the best possible application performance.

  • visibility into cloud networks
  • SPAN overload
  • network validation
