Net Optics launched Phantom Virtualization Tap 2.5, with total support for VMware vSphere 4.x, 5.0 and 5.1.
Support for vSphere 5.x and stealth deployments is key to delivering total visibility for virtualizing customers via a silent kernel module. This capability makes the Phantom Tap the only product now on the market able to provide kernel-level implementation for vSphere 5.x.
In addition to its enhanced vSphere support, the Phantom Virtualization Tap 2.5 offers a wide spectrum of important cost-saving and efficiency benefits. The Tap now leverages /dvFilter API to deliver its advanced, kernel-level monitoring — unique in providing smart filtering at the collection point. The ability to maintain a kernel-level solution is essential to a customer’s ability to optimize resource utilization.
Customers upgrading to vSphere 5.x can benefit substantially from the Phantom Tap’s new functions. It solves the critical need for visibility in virtualized environments, where inter-VM and cross-blade traffic have remained invisible to physical instrumentation tools. The potential consequences of this invisibility are profound in terms of reduced security, non-compliance, loss of availability and lower performance.
With its support for VMware’s latest and most important shipping product, vSphere 5.x, the hypervisor-agnostic Phantom Virtualization Tap 2.5 further extends its breadth as a full monitoring and access solution.
“We’re excited that, in addition to its many new capabilities, the Phantom Tap 2.5 provides organizations of all types a reliable resource for regulatory compliance,” said Ran Nahmias, Senior Director, Virtualization and Cloud Solutions. “Customers in all industries gain immediate and long-term benefits from the ability to deploy a total visibility solution for the expanding virtual environment.”
The Phantom Virtualization Tap Version 2.5 will be generally available at the end of March and can be ordered at the start of Q2.
