HARDWARE COMPONENTS

The VirtualWisdom instrumentation, measurement, and analysis solution is designed to provide an unprecedented level of visibility into complex, heterogeneous virtual infrastructures deployed with Fibre Channel SANs. System and storage administrators can implement all or some of the VirtualWisdom hardware components to achieve the appropriate breadth and depth of monitoring and analysis that meet their needs.

To provide complete real-time path monitoring and analysis across your virtual infrastructure and multiple SAN tiers, instrumentation is essential.  VirtualWisdom makes use of instrumentation hardware, Traffic Analysis Points (TAPs) and Fibre Channel ProbeFCX devices, to measure and record all transactions crossing the SAN. The VirtualWisdom Portal Server software collects, aggregates and correlates all of the physical-layer and operational data.
