- 3. Agenda The 10 Gigabit monitoring challenge The Load Balancing solution Three use cases Nine requirements for Monitoring Load Balancers A real-world implementation Conclusion
- 4. The 10 Gigabit Monitoring Challenge As network speeds increase to 10G, performance, security, and compliance monitoring is more important than ever — But monitoring tools are becoming a bottleneck!
- 5. The Load Balancing Solution Operate multiple tools in parallel to share the load Calls for a monitoring load balancer What are the requirements? What are the use cases?
- 6. Use Case #1: Call Center Out-of-band load balancing to traffic recorders Your call may be monitored for quality purposes
- 7. Monitoring Load Balancer Requirements
- 8. Use Case #2: Enterprise Intrusion Prevention Inline load balancing to IPSs
- 9. Monitoring Load Balancer Requirements
- 10. Tool Sharing for Efficiency Dedicating tools to specific links uses tools inefficiently Oversubscribed! Under-utilized! Under-utilized! IPS IPS IPS
- 11. Use Case #3: HIPAA Compliance Tool-sharing inline load balancing EHR Department Finance Department HR Department
