Deep Traffic Visibility for Virtualized Infrastructure
0 likes511 views
This document describes use cases for a product called L7 Viewer that provides deep traffic visibility into virtualized infrastructure. It discusses how L7 Viewer allows identifying the root cause of slower application performance by detecting excessive YouTube traffic. It also describes how L7 Viewer helps safely migrate Active Directory servers by identifying clients using AD services and ensuring all connections are reconfigured. Additionally, L7 Viewer can detect idle virtual machines to optimize infrastructure utilization and reduce costs.

- 14. Straightforward Root Cause Identification for Slower Application 14 Using L7 Viewer, the IT admin is able to quickly find out the origin of the slowdown Identify it as a spike in traffic due to extensive YouTube traffic Also applicable to e.g. P2P traffic, shadow IT or SW updates 2600 + protocols and applications recognized with their categories (Gaming, Email, P2P, etc.)
- 15. Safe Active Directory Server Migration 15 I just installed my new AD 2012 I have reconfigured my clients to use AD 2012 It should be ok to shut down my AD 2008 but… What if I forgot one client using the AD 08 … ? What if this client is essential to my business …. ? Is my AD 08 server offering other services ? I could of course use TCP dump to address that but …. AD 2012 AD 2008

- 25. Detecting idle VMs 25 I manage a 200-HV infrastructure Users forget to switch their VMs off after using them Users create much more VM than they need I foresee substantial saving here but …. I cannot clearly identify the idle VM All the VM use my infrastructure for something What if I switch off a key VM…. ? IDLE IDLE IDLE

- 28. Detecting Idle VMs Using L7 Viewer, the IT admin is able to Look at the type of traffic in and out of VMs List all VMs suspected of being idle Decommission idle VMs Load servers with active applications instead Significant savings estimated at A typical 10% to 15% VM found inactive $40,000 per year annual capex + opex savings Typical client traffic from idle VM Typical traffic from active VM dns dhcp ldap ntp MS update Http https ssl mysql smtp
