Keysight Launches AppFusion Partner Program

Keysight Technologies launched its AppFusion network visibility partner program. AppFusion integrates third-party security and monitoring solutions directly into its network packet brokers. The program includes technology from Forescout, Instrumentix and Nozomi Networks, allowing customers to streamline netops and secops while also cutting infrastructure costs. The all-in-one, multi-vendor solution helps IT professionals reduce capital and operational expenses while improving security monitoring and performance.

Keysight’s Vision Network Packet Brokers eliminates complexity by integrating partner software directly into a single hardware platform. Key AppFusion benefits include:

  • Reduced hardware cost by consolidating multiple servers into one Vision appliance.
  • Streamlined deployment with pre-integrated, best-in-class security solutions.
  • Centralized management through a single interface for all monitoring tools.
  • Scalability with on-demand activation of additional monitoring capabilities.

“The more technology providers integrate and deliver complete solutions, the less time IT and security teams need to spend configuring and managing performance and security,” said Keysight VP and GM, network visibility solutions, Recep Ozdag. “Our new partner integration program fuses network visibility and monitoring in a new way to streamline deployment of complete, cost-efficient monitoring solutions for real-time threat detection and troubleshooting of performance issues.”

Initial AppFusion integrations include:

  • Forescout platform, with eyeInspect security monitoring technology.
  • Instrumentix xMetrics trade flow performance monitoring and analytics software.
