Ixia launches SaaS version of Hawkeye network assessment and monitoring services

David Sajoto, Head of Enterprise Sales, APAC, Keysight Technologies, said that Ixia technologies provide network visibility and give users the right data to secure their environments. "You can't secure what you can't see, we provide what you can see," he said.

Keysight Technologies, a technology company that helps enterprises, service providers, and governments accelerate innovation to connect and secure the world, has expanded its Ixia visibility portfolio with Hawkeye Express, a software-as-a-service (SaaS) extension to the Hawkeye network assessment and monitoring platform.

Hawkeye Express enables customers to monitor and test cloud applications on any third-party public cloud platform to ensure a consistent quality of experience (QoE) for end users.

The migration of applications to the public cloud presents new challenges in the way enterprises monitor networks and applications. This includes losing the ability to perform network performance monitoring, as well as assessment troubleshooting with traditional tools due to lack of access to the delivery infrastructure and packets in the public Internet and cloud.

“As enterprises migrate their applications to the public cloud, they are faced with diminishing control of their application performance,” said Recep Ozdag, VP, product management for Keysight’s Ixia Solutions Group.

“The Hawkeye Express active monitoring solution provides visibility and troubleshooting capabilities that provide users access to their cloud and WAN services. Using Hawkeye Express allows customers to truly understand network and application performance to ensure a consistent quality of experience for their end users.”

Hawkeye Express is a cloud-based SaaS solution based on active, synthetic monitoring that delivers visibility into public and private infrastructure and services. Hawkeye Express enables users to:

• Determine network performance between sites using performance assessments, regular reporting and alarms when services degrade

• Monitor third-party service provider networks, such as those for cloud access

• Understand the capacity of a network or equipment

Keysight acquired Ixia, a network test, visibility, and security provider, in April 2017.
