Agility
Enable rapid deployment of network visibility across hybrid and multi-cloud environments with a flexible, software-based packet broker. PacketRavenVirtual adapts quickly to changing workloads and architectures, allowing teams to scale visibility without hardware constraints or complex infrastructure changes
Visibility
Gain full visibility into virtual, cloud, and hybrid environments, including East-West (VM-to-VM) traffic that is typically invisible to traditional tools. PacketRavenVirtual provides complete access to network data without impacting performance or requiring changes to existing infrastructure.
Integration
Extend visibility seamlessly across hybrid environments by connecting virtual traffic to physical tools using GRE and VXLAN tunneling. PacketRavenVirtual integrates easily into VMware, Kubernetes, and public cloud platforms, enabling consistent observability across distributed infrastructures.
PacketRavenVirtual Network TAP
In today’s enterprise networks, where hybrid-cloud, multi-cloud, and virtual infrastructures dominate, gaining full visibility into East-West and North-South traffic has become a critical challenge. As traditional monitoring solutions struggle to keep up with distributed architectures, blind spots increase—raising the risk of undetected security breaches and performance bottlenecks. The NEOX PacketRaven Virtual Network TAP (vTAP) offers a powerful solution by providing full traffic visibility across virtualized, private, public, and hybrid cloud environments.
Including VMware, Kubernetes, AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud. Designed to deliver unlimited throughput, PacketRaven Virtual enables security and monitoring tools to access VM-to-VM traffic in real time, without impacting system performance or altering existing infrastructure. It features per-direction traffic mirroring, supports stateful filtering to deliver only relevant data, and allows granular forwarding modes such as N:1 aggregation and 1:N regeneration. Easy to deploy via Debian packageor Docker image, it ensures rapid rollout and scalability. Furthermore, PacketRaven Virtual integrates seamlessly with physical monitoring environments by tunneling mirrored traffic over GRE or VXLAN to on-prem devices.
This hybrid capability ensures consistent observability across mixed infrastructures. Whether detecting lateral threats, ensuring compliance, or analyzing application performance, PacketRaven Virtual TAP eliminates visibility gaps while maintaining full architectural integrity. With this solution, organizations gain a strategic advantage in securing and managing their networks in the most demanding virtual and cloud-native environments. Shop PacketRavenVirtual
