New CloudLens Public, World’s First
Software-as-a-Service, Network-Level, Cloud-Native Visibility
Solution
Ixia (Nasdaq: XXIA), a leading provider of network testing,
visibility, and security solutions, today announced it has further
extended the reach delivered by the CloudLens™ Platform to the
public cloud. CloudLens Public provides Visibility-as-a-Service
(VaaS) and is the first to be implemented as a pure
Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solution. It is designed from the
ground up to retain the benefits of the cloud – elastic scale,
flexibility, and agility. CloudLens Public provides intelligent and
automated visibility as a service that scales with public
cloud infrastructures.
Access to application and network data in cloud environments is
critical for security and monitoring tools to ensure the
reliability, security, and performance of mission-critical
applications. Granular access to cloud traffic is important to
avoiding blind spots in a network that can compromise application
monitoring, as well as overall security.
Ixia has extended the benefits of the company’s CloudLens
Platform to enable customers to capture and filter data in the
public cloud. Designed as a SaaS platform, it does all the heavy
lifting behind the scenes, freeing customers from managing
visibility.
CloudLens Public delivers the following customer benefits:
- Provides elastic scale: packet
visibility scales on demand with source and tool instances
- Delivers true intelligence: uses
metadata tags native to cloud platforms, to provide enhanced
filtering and manipulation capability
- Simple set up and easy to use:
leverages a SaaS web-interface to manage cloud visibility allowing
access anywhere, and features a drag and drop GUI. CloudLens
manages all the visibility needs on the back end, so customers do
not have to modify their existing architectures.
- Eliminates single point of failure:
filters packet data at each source instance, so an inline virtual
packet broker does not become a single point of failure in the
network
- Reduces errors and the risk of
compromise:
- Visibility is embedded within the
instance structure, so it is highly secure, eliminating risk of
cross tenant violations
- Visibility runs from behind SSL offload
services, eliminating the need for decryption
- Reduces bandwidth to tools: packet
filtering operations are performed at the source instances,
eliminating unwanted traffic to tools and enabling them to operate
optimally
“Visibility is key to security, but when workloads transit the
public cloud, visibility can be lost,” said Jim Duffy, Senior
Analyst, 451 Research. “Ixia’s CloudLens Public offers enterprises
‘visibility-as-a-service,' where all of the packet brokering takes
place at the source. This could enhance scalability and network
agility.”
CloudLens Public will initially be available in support of
Amazon Web Services (AWS). Ixia plans to add support for Microsoft
Azure and Google Cloud in the second half of 2017. CloudLens Public
offers a cloud-native, serverless design that lays the foundation
for solving cloud-scale problems and its intelligent, Docker-based
architecture is cloud service provider agnostic. The Docker-based
sensors run within a customer’s source and tool instances,
inheriting the security configurations of the instances. In
addition, the sensors have access to a wealth of information, and
the platform can be programmed to continuously monitor new
instances that automatically align for proper monitoring.
Leading security and monitoring solution providers that
participated in the Ixia Public CloudLens beta program and
performed joint validation include: FireEye, Dynatrace, CA
Technologies, LogRhythm, NTOP, AppNeta, ProtectWise, NetFort
Technologies and Savvius.
“FireEye is excited to partner with Ixia on its new CloudLens
platform to extend our industry-leading visibility and response
speed into AWS, Azure, and other public clouds,” said Martin
Holste, CTO of Cloud, FireEye. “With our focus on simplifying,
integrating, and automating security operations for customers with
FireEye Helix, having scalable, native visibility into all cloud
services, networks, endpoints, and third-party security products,
enables us to stay ahead of our customer needs.”
“Ixia CloudLens Public was designed and built for the cloud and
as a result, it is inherently elastic and scalable,” said Sushil
Kumar, Senior Vice President of Product Management and Strategy,
Agile Operations, CA Technologies. “CloudLens provides CA’s network
monitoring solutions the visibility needed to monitor end-to-end
response times to track and optimize the end user experience, no
matter where an application is deployed.”
About the CloudLens PlatformIxia’s CloudLens delivers
end-to-end visibility and provides context-aware data processing
across private, public, and hybrid cloud environments, making
applications stronger by providing a high level of network
intelligence so cloud implementations are more secure. CloudLens
Public addresses cloud security needs through an intelligent
visibility platform that leverages metadata tags and is built as a
cloud-native SaaS with a serverless architecture. The solution
elastically scales with cloud instances on demand to improve cloud
resilience.
