Vision 7300 Chassis Family

The Ixia Vision 7300 chassis family and Ixia’s Visibility Architecture provide the most scalable network visibility framework in the industry. Together, they deliver the expandability and management flexibility that easily integrates into any network or data center environment, as well as the control and simplicity necessary to improve the usefulness of existing IT tools. The Ixia Vision 7300 is a chassis that allows for centralized control of your network monitoring system in a single, simple, rack-mountable unit. It combines disparate solutions into a smaller data center footprint – saving power, rack space, and improving ROI. The Ixia Vision 7300 is designed for large enterprises and service providers who need monitoring and network security tools to achieve end-to-end network visibility across both physical and virtual networks, including network traffic from Ixia CloudLens. It provides network visibility to protect tool investments and scale with the network as monitoring needs grow and change as new applications and security threats emerge.
