Overview
In the Keysight CloudLens solution, a Virtual Packet Broker (vPB) is a software-based packet broker that operates in cloud and virtualized environments. It plays a central role in curating relevant traffic by aggregating, filtering, deduplicate and distributing network traffic to the appropriate monitoring, performance, and security tools.
Keysight's CloudLens is a visibility solution that eliminates blind spots by enabling packet data visibility in virtualized environments. It powers stronger security and maximizes monitoring effectiveness for your virtual workloads in public, private or hybrid cloud. CloudLens solution offers seamless integration with platform like AWS to tap packet data traffic using cloud-native or cloud-agnostic tools and automates the workflow through Keysight Vision Orchestrator (KVO). CloudLens vPB (virtual Packet Broker) is a high-performing aggregator that intelligently optimizes, and funnels packet data to security, observability, performance, and compliance tools. Thus, the tools can optimize their performance and deliver real-time actionable insights by processing data traffic curated by CloudLens Solution.
Highlights
- Applies rules/policies to filter traffic based on IPs, protocols, ports, etc. Replicates traffic and sends it to multiple tools (e.g., IDS, firewalls, application performance monitoring tools).
- Ensures only relevant traffic is forwarded, reducing overhead. Collects, Aggregates, Deduplicates traffic from multiple workloads Load-balancing traffic to the tools.
- Offers scalable, flexible, and high-performance solution.
