DANZ can be further enhanced by leveraging Arista CloudVision® for automation, provisioning and monitoring of the visibility infrastructure, whether implemented in-band in the production network or out-of-band for a separate visibility network. DANZ provides a solution to monitoring and visibility challenges at 10 to 100Gbps and higher with unmatched scale, price performance and bandwidth.

Automate configuration and management of the monitoring infrastructureĪrista Data ANalyZer (DANZ) is an integrated feature set in Arista’s Extensible Operating System and is currently available on Arista Networks 7150-series, 7280SE-series, 7500E-series, 7280R-series and 7500R-series switches.

Manage overall customer satisfaction and response times.

Perform traffic interception when required such as for Lawful Intercept.

Troubleshoot applications and performance problems.

Maintain security, compliance and reporting for all types of traffic.

The challenge remains in that IT organizations have requirements to perform the following functions with increasingly higher data volumes and higher network bandwidths, while controlling or reducing costs: Owing to the large volumes of traffic, traditional methods of capturing and analyzing traffic flows require a dramatic rethink in density and performance for data aggregation and visibility. To handle these loads, deployments of multi-path 100Gbps Ethernet spine and leaf architectures are becoming the norm. A single application or storage server, now connecting at speeds of 10Gbps, 25Gbps and even 50Gbps, can now generate bi-directional flow rates in excess of tens of billions of packets per day with aggregate daily traffic in many cloud data centers measurable in petabytes and beyond. Traffic volumes are exploding in the datacenter due to the increasing efficiency and density of highly-virtualized cloud computing infrastructures.
