Network Visibility
RECOGNIZED AS LEADER FOR NETWORK PACKET BROKERS
Ixia Network Packet Broker (NPB) solutions secured the 2017 Global Market Leadership Award from Frost and Sullivan through continuous focus on excellence in security, network monitoring, and performance.
Frost and Sullivan’s award recognizes Ixia’s leadership in demonstrating and delivering superior value to customers along with establishing differentiated competitive positioning to build a strong brand.
By providing high performance and superior visibility into the network, without any loss of data capture, Ixia NPBs have achieved such brand recognition in the end-to-end monitoring market that they are considered a one-stop-shop solution for service providers and enterprises.
Better network visibility needs the highest performance hardware running the most intelligent data handling software. See how easy it is to deploy inline and out-of-band network visibility.
When selecting a visibility solution, performance matters. Measure for yourself why Ixia is the industry leader in network packet broker performance.
If you had a choice between one processor and two, which would you pick? Ixia network packet brokers have four times higher performance because we use a high performance FPGA to make sure you never drop a packet.
