DDoS attacks are the primary threat to the availability of your network. In 2014, the number of DDoS attacks continues its trend upward in both size and complexity. Today, attacks topping 100Gbps have become common. So have complex threats such as application-layer attacks against DNS and encrypted Web services. Taxing security teams even more is the rise in multi vector attacks which target applications, existing stateful infrastructure like Firewalls and IPS devices and upstream connectivity, all in a single sustained attack.

Your company is a voracious consumer of bandwidth - perhaps a very large enterprise, a research lab, or a service or content provider of some description. Running on ultra high speed data links may blind you from seeing real issues arising.

Flying blind at 100G It might go something like this: Your company is a voracious consumer of bandwidth – perhaps a very large enterprise, a research lab, or a service or content provider of some description. Today you are running multiple 10Gbps network connections in the core of your network, but these links are rapidly approaching capacity. An upgrade in the not-too-distant future to 40/100G ultra-high-speed links now looks inevitable.

Integrate 10 Gb, 40 Gb and 100 Gb Equipment More Efficiently While Future-Proofing Your Fiber and Copper Network Infrastructure

Research and Education (R&E) networks are experiencing a surge in capacity demand as a result of the massive growth of streaming media (Netflix, Facebook, YouTube), growing utilization of public cloud services, and the continued need to support large scientific data file transfers for researchers collaborating around the globe. This increase in traffic is driving many operators to evaluate network backbone upgrades to 100G. Upgrading is necessary but costly. But what if operators could upgrade their R&E networks to 100G for 50 percent less CAPEX investment and extend the life of the existing routers, while actually simplifying the architecture to enable lower operational costs?

As the industry moves forward to meet the enormous demand for data with video, mobile, and cloud, the core networks need to transition from 10G to 100G and beyond.

Service providers around the world share concerns about running out of bandwidth. Business challenges surrounding continued bandwidth growth, linked to video, mobility, and cloud applications, are significant. Service providers also report declining revenue from a cost-per-bit perspective, so not only does the network need to grow, it also needs to grow more cost effectively.

In May 2014 VSS Monitoring announced a significant expansion of its solution portfolio for providing packet visibility into high-speed 40G and 100G enterprise and service provider networks. With the release of the vBroker 6000 and vBroker 520, the company took aggressive and definitive steps to deliver high-performing solutions for high-density carrier and cloud infrastructure deployments and 100G transitions, allowing IT organizations to maintain operations monitoring and security integrity throughout upgrades to and new deployments of extreme high-speed networks.

Read this Solution Guide to learn how to optimize monitoring & security for 40G & 100G networks While network owners are migrating to 40G & 100G infrastructures, most tools available today cannot ingest high-speed traffic. They lack both the physical interfaces and processing power to do so.
