The Phantom Virtualization Tap™ (Phantom vTap™) v3.5 release is now available. This software solution provides IT monitoring staff access to packet data in virtualized data centers, allowing you to pinpoint performance issues and improve network security. With this capability, you can remove virtualized data center blind spots by exposing the approximately 80% of hidden inter-VM ("east-west") traffic that exists in this environment and that raises the risk of undetected threats or performance issues.

Key Benefits

•  Provides access to vital data to improve your virtualized data center security and performance
•  Single solution for VMware vSphere and other hypervisors
•  No VM resources or probes are required
•  Uses a kernel module plug-in, enabling full access to traffic passing between virtual machines on a hypervisor stack
