BlueCat LiveWire is a network visibility and packet capture solution designed to provide comprehensive insights into the intricacies of hybrid networks. As organizations navigate the complexities of digital transformation—such as migrating workloads to the cloud, virtualizing data centers, and consolidating infrastructure—LiveWire equips IT teams with the necessary visibility and analytics to manage network performance, reliability, and security effectively. This solution captures and analyzes network traffic across physical, virtual, and cloud environments, offering real-time visibility into both east-west and north-south traffic flows. By addressing the blind spots that often arise from virtualization and cloud adoption, LiveWire transforms raw packet data into actionable insights that enhance performance monitoring. When integrated with BlueCat LiveNX, it presents IT and NetOps teams with a unified view for monitoring network performance, troubleshooting issues, and planning for capacity needs. LiveWire Virtual extends its capabilities into VMware ESXi and Red Hat KVM environments, converting packet data into flow records that LiveNX can visualize and analyze. This ensures that users experience the same level of deep visibility and application performance monitoring in virtual environments as they do in physical networks. In the event of a network issue, LiveWire provides one-click access to full packet captures, enabling teams to quickly identify root causes and minimize mean time to resolution. Designed for flexibility, LiveWire offers configurations tailored for small, medium, and large deployments, making it suitable for various environments from branch offices to enterprise-scale data centers. Its seamless integration with virtual network components—such as vSwitch, virtual taps (vTap), virtual packet brokers (vPB), and overlay networks—facilitates easy deployment in any virtualized setting. In addition to monitoring, LiveWire enhances network security and incident response capabilities. It continuously records packet data, supplying the forensic evidence necessary to trace intrusions, validate alerts, and assess the scope of potential threats. This level of visibility empowers security and network teams to respond swiftly, validate events, and ensure compliance with regulatory standards. By combining the functionalities of BlueCat LiveWire and LiveNX, organizations gain access to a unique packet-to-flow visibility platform that integrates network performance and security analytics across physical, virtual, and cloud infrastructures. This comprehensive solution aids enterprises in streamlining operations, accelerating their digital transformation journey, and maintaining consistent performance from the core of their networks to the cloud. With BlueCat LiveWire, organizations can achieve the complete network visibility, performance analytics, and packet intelligence essential for ensuring the smooth operation of business-critical applications across all environments.
