Overview:
Improved Operational Efficiency and Scale
Our vPB and vTAP eliminate typical long deployment cycles associated with hardware through automated scale orchestration and simplified provisioning. They allow dynamic modification of flow-definitions and traffic optimization functions in the network visibility infrastructure when changes occur in the production network (such as the addition or removal of VMs, variations in traffic volume, and new flow patterns). This capability improves monitoring productivity and offers greater network agility. Our vPB is designed to also mask patterns in specific packets to protect sensitive information from unauthorized usage.
SMARTMatch
A SMARTMatch rule supports flex-match, which allows detection of specific regex or hex patterns in flows and packets. Optionally, such flows or packets can be dropped or forwarded to a configured egress. A flex match can be pre-defined as a SMARTmatch alias and used within a rule. A rule can include up to four aliases. In the vPB, masking as an action is supported.
