Net Optics Phantom - Manual (Page 2)

Unique Capabilities
The Phantom Virtualization Tap provides these unique capabilities to the virtual computing environment:
• A multi-hypervisor solution that performs network monitoring at the hypervisor kernel level providing full view of the traffic flowing between VMs, regardless of
their current physical locations
• Implemented at the kernel; delivers the ability to differentiate between specific VM instances in replicated environments, and keep monitoring and logging the
VMs even as they are moved between hypervisors (different physical servers or locations)
• The industry’s only integrated solution for converged (virtual and physical) environments. Fully hypervisor-agnostic and virtual switch-agnostic, the Phantom
Virtualization Tap works seamlessly with Net Optics’ Director series of data monitoring switches
• Centralized Management—a unified network management tool —provides an easy-to-use, Web-based GUI interface
