DANZ Monitoring Fabric™
DANZ Monitoring Fabric is a next-generation network packet broker (NPB) architected for pervasive, network visibility delivering real-time and historical insights into your physical and virtual environments.
DANZ Monitoring Fabric (DMF) is the industry’s first network packet broker (NPB) that leverages an SDN-controlled fabric using high-performance, merchant-silicon switches, and industry-standard x86 servers to deploy highly scalable, agile, and flexible network visibility and security solutions. Traditional box-based, hardware-centric NPBs are architecturally constrained to meet emerging security and visibility demands of cloud-native data centers. DMF addresses the challenges of traditional NPB solutions, by enabling a scale-out fabric for enterprise-wide security and monitoring, a single pane of glass for operational simplicity, and multi-tenancy for multiple IT (NetOps, DevOps, SecOps) teams.
