By combining the Aviz Open Packet Broker™(OPB) with the NetQuest OMX™ Intelligent Service Node™, SecOps and NetOps teams can create an Intelligent Aggregation Layer™ that more efficiently collects, aggregates, and optimizes network traffic based upon granular user-definable policies for delivery to upstream tools and packet storage. By combining cost-effective Open Network switches with ultra-scale packet processing, the combined solution delivers higher capacity with more optimization services at a lower cost than comparable products from alternative vendors.
