Profitap vTAP

Profitap vTAP provides complete visibility of VM traffic (including inter-VM) for security, availability, and performance monitoring. Within the span of a decade, the use of server virtualization has become a standard industry practice. This shift has dramatically improved IT efficiency in companies around the world, benefiting from improved scalability, high availability and greater workload portability. Businesses can now do more with less. This shift also means that you need a new, scalable and easy to manage approach to get complete visibility into (inter-) VM traffic, in order to monitor for performance, security and availability. To gain visibility in virtual traffic and forward filtered network traffic to network security and network monitoring tools, you need a Virtual TAP (vTAP). Provide inter-VM traffic visibility Complete visibility of VM traffic (including inter-VM east-west traffic flows) for security, availability, and performance monitoring.
