DANZ Monitoring Fabric Product Description

DMF switches are deployed adjacent to the production network by connecting to SPAN / TAP ports from the production network.

The DMF controller serves as the single, central point of management for all deployed switches. The controller enables pervasive security and visibility for physical, and virtual

workloads for single, and multi-site deployments.

DMF provides both basic and advanced NPB functions. In addition to basics such as filtering, aggregation, replication, and load-balancing, it also provides advanced packet functions like deduplication and packet slicing. DMF’s advanced functions leverage the DPDK-powered, x86-based service nodes, supported by unique multi-tenant, monitoring-as-a-service functions on a scaled-out switch fabric managed centrally by the DMF controller. DMF Controller also integrates with x86-based analytics and recorder nodes to capture cloud-native data center traffic at scale. The nodes also support deep application-level analytics. The DMF Recorder Node allows high-performance packet recording, querying, and replay functions. The DMF Analytics Node provides unprecedented network visibility to monitor, discover, and troubleshoot network and application performance issues, as well as accelerate the discovery of root causes of security breaches. With DMF Recorder and Analytics nodes, users can achieve deep network telemetry for traditional data center environments. With these tools, the network team can replay past conversations across users and applications with a single click.
