Darktrace and Keysight Help Global Investment Bank

Case Studies

The multinational investment services company first deployed network visibility around 2020, choosing Keysight for its consultative expertise and superior performance. The data center team liked how well Keysight taps and Vision X Network Packet Brokers (NPBs) combined with Darktrace monitoring solutions but wanted to make sure migration wouldn’t change things.

 

A team led by the company’s Director of Enterprise Communications and Senior Systems Architect worked with GuidePoint Security to validate that Darktrace and Keysight would be the best choice for high-performing, future-ready visibility and monitoring during and after migration — and that’s exactly what they found.

 

Why Keysight — Again?

The internal team first chose Keysight after a comprehensive Proof of Concept (PoC) demonstration showed the solution was easier to use and operate. After working together for five years, they trusted Keysight to provide the best technology as well as the best advice. They also knew from

experience that Keysight’s hardware-based solutions delivered greater scale than software-based competitive solutions and that Keysight’s Intelligent Fabric Controller (IFC) technology makes it easy to manage large deployments. During the re-evaluation process, Keysight consultations again assisted with multiple design iterations to update requirements, strategies, and best practices. Last but not least, the team determined the Keysight approach would deliver greater value at a lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).
