StealthWatch FlowSensor™ VE

The StealthWatch FlowSensor™ VE, the complimentary virtual appliance, that exports NetFlow v9 and key application metrics to provide anomaly detection and network performance monitoring for virtual environments.  This virtual appliance extends Lancope’s physical network visibility to virtual environments by analyzing virtual network traffic to detect and address configuration problems, inefficiencies in resource allocation, security violations and policy violations before any failure or degraded performance occurs.

StealthWatch FlowSensor VE enables:

• Deep Virtual Monitoring — performance, capacity and availability management of all virtual technologies, down to the performance metrics of individual virtual machine (VM) instances and the applications that reside within

• Unified Visibility — complete visibility into security, network, user and application activity across virtual networks

• Single Dashboard — central management and monitoring of global infrastructure across virtual and physical environments through seamless integration with the physical network visibility solution

• Lightweight, Scalable, Fast Deployment — extreme efficiency with low impact on I/O and CPU to ensure maximum performance of the virtual environment

Deployed on a VMware ESX host, the StealthWatch FlowSensor VE captures vital traffic statistics to address multiple virtualization challenges, including gaining virtual network topological and location awareness, securing virtual networks, demonstrating compliance, controlling VM sprawl and tracking virtual machines when they are moved via VMware VMotion, to help maximize the benefits associated with server virtualization.

Lancope’s innovative approach to monitoring virtualized servers differs wildly from comparative technologies, which conduct processing on the virtualized servers themselves and utilize significant virtual resources. Lancope’s centralized analysis eliminates the overhead associated with disparate virtual security tools, enabling scalable, centrally managed enterprise protection. Easily deployed, lightweight, and user friendly, the StealthWatch FlowSensor VE can help contain costs and maximize return on investment (ROI) of server virtualization.
