Optimize Big Data Performance

Big Data, big monitoring

Unstructured data that traditionally took too long or cost too much to process and analyze accounts for as much as 80% of most companies' data. Emerging "Big Data" initiatives stand to transform vast untapped resources from a costly storage challenge into vital business intelligence used in marketing, product development, stock trading, genetic research, and more.

Big Data promises quantum gains in productivity and competitive advantage by distributing the massive workload of preparing data for analysis among large numbers of servers. To make it all work, IT departments need greater visibility into networks and applications in order to prioritize, filter and synthesize information. But predictably, monitoring the performance of the network, applications and security becomes more challenging as Big Data projects scale.

Ixia's network visibility solutions deliver actionable insight and reduce the effort required to harness the power of Big Data. With the monitoring of applications, networks, and security growing in both importance and complexity, Anue Net Tool Optimizer® (NTO) network monitoring switches introduce vital intelligence between data center production networks and monitoring tools, and perform sophisticated filtering, aggregation, and load balancing needed to keep pace.

Based on industry-acclaimed Anue innovation, NTO solutions:

• Enable large numbers of monitoring tools to be connected to high-capacity networks for improved visibility into the performance of highly distributed applications;
• Decouple and optimize the flow of data between network monitoring points and monitoring tools enabling data to be shared, filtered, de-duplicated and directed more efficiently;
• Aggregate and filter data from across the network to assure each monitoring solution receives the exact data it needs;
• Introduce drag-and-drop control panel for ease of management and configuration;
• Feature automation that facilitates processing of massive quantities of data unattended.

Ixia's NTO solutions provide the visibility that makes Big Data work cost-effectively, enabling the efficient, intelligent monitoring of network and application performance and helping to optimize security, scalability, and compliance.
