APCON unveiled the new IntellaFlex 100G Ethernet monitoring solution.
“Enterprises and service providers are increasing bandwidth and capabilities at critical network hot spots. This is great for users, but there is a risk of less visibility for security monitoring,” said Richard Rauch, President and CEO of APCON. “The new IntellaFlex 100G solution is shipping now and is compatible with all existing IntellaFlex XR monitoring systems, ensuring an easy migration path.”
“The need for tools that require packet data shows no slowdown in growth, as network bandwidth and capabilities continue to grow faster than processing and storage technologies,” writes Vivek Bhalla, Principal Research Analyst, and Danilo Ciscato, Research Director, at Gartner, in the January 2016 Market Guide for Network Packet Brokers (NPB). “NPBs help solve this problem by massaging data before handing it off to tools, and these mediators are becoming critical to build-out and upgrade projects.”
With the new 100G monitoring solution, APCON’s IntellaFlex XR family provides complete network visibility and a wide range of features for traffic optimization to match the capacity of security and performance monitoring tools. An integrated IntellaFlex XR system offers:
- Monitoring of multiple ports for 1G, 10G, 40G and 100G traffic
- The ability to select traffic of interest with aggregation and Multi-Stage Filtering
- Load balance traffic to 10G and 1G network and security tools
- 100G trunking of multiple monitoring systems across campus locations
- Best-in-class WebXR GUI, TitanXR switch management and Mobile App
APCON’s IntellaFlex 100G solution is available immediately for purchase.

As enterprises work to implement or improve their observability practices, tool sprawl is a very real phenomenon ... Tool sprawl can and does happen all across the organization. In this post, though, we'll focus specifically on how and why observability efforts often result in tool sprawl, some of the possible negative consequences of that sprawl, and we'll offer some advice on how to reduce or even avoid sprawl ...
As companies generate more data across their network footprints, they need network observability tools to help find meaning in that data for better decision-making and problem solving. It seems many companies believe that adding more tools leads to better and faster insights ... And yet, observability tools aren't meeting many companies' needs. In fact, adding more tools introduces new challenges ...
Driven by the need to create scalable, faster, and more agile systems, businesses are adopting cloud native approaches. But cloud native environments also come with an explosion of data and complexity that makes it harder for businesses to detect and remediate issues before everything comes to a screeching halt. Observability, if done right, can make it easier to mitigate these challenges and remediate incidents before they become major customer-impacting problems ...
The spiraling cost of energy is forcing public cloud providers to raise their prices significantly. A recent report by Canalys predicted that public cloud prices will jump by around 20% in the US and more than 30% in Europe in 2023. These steep price increases will test the conventional wisdom that moving to the cloud is a cheap computing alternative ...
Despite strong interest over the past decade, the actual investment in DX has been recent. While 100% of enterprises are now engaged with DX in some way, most (77%) have begun their DX journey within the past two years. And most are early stage, with a fourth (24%) at the discussion stage and half (49%) currently transforming. Only 27% say they have finished their DX efforts ...
While most thought that distraction and motivation would be the main contributors to low productivity in a work-from-home environment, many organizations discovered that it was gaps in their IT systems that created some of the most significant challenges ...

As demand for digital services increases and distributed systems become more complex, organizations must collect and process a growing amount of observability data (logs, metrics, and traces). Site reliability engineers (SREs), developers, and security engineers use observability data to learn how their applications and environments are performing so they can successfully respond to issues and mitigate risk ...
