Virtual Management

Lancope's StealthWatch provides unfied, flow-based security, network and application performance monitoring across physical and virtual networks. The system eliminates network blind spots and reduces total network and security management costs.

Virtual Network Root Cause Analysis

For virtual networks, StealthWatch captures key network performance metrics that provide detail down to the service level and reports designed to troubleshoot virtual network issues. These include traffic usage needed for understanding how much traffic will traverse the physical network when a VM moves between virtual servers separated from another conversant VM. Another example includes those cases where you're not certain whether the virtual network traffic is the issue, or if a specific application, the virtual machine itself or a security issue is at fault. In this way, StealthWatch clearly identifies the root cause, thereby protecting the cost savings associated with migration to virtual environments through lower resource consumption, greater staff productivity, more satisfied customers, and an optimized virtual network performance and end user experience.

Tracking VMotion Movement

StealthWatch also tracks and monitors network events that may trigger a VMotion movement of VMs. By alarming on the creation of new VMs, StealthWatch helps you control virtual sprawl and resulting software license issues. Moreover, StealthWatch measures and reports on the effectiveness of load balancing policies to enable better understanding of resource requirements when commissioning new virtual servers.

StealthWatch grants enterprise-wide visibility to keep track of hosts/ VMs regardless of where they migrate across the virtual network. Delivering powerful insight and capabilities helps result in greater cost savings associated with virtual server provisioning, locking down rogue VMs, end user responsibility/accountability, license cost containment, unauthorized applications, etc.
