Total Visibility for Network Monitoring Across the Cloud 
Phantom HD is the leading-edge solution that bridges your physical and virtual networks for total visibility, security and control. This versatile appliance delivers superior efficiency, dramatic cost savings, and the ability to handle more bandwidth than anything on the market. Phantom HD speeds traffic of interest across sites, locations, devices, the cloud and providers at 10 Gbps, offering a single aggregation point for inspecting both virtual and physical network traffic. Not only that—Phantom HD eliminates the vulnerable security “blind spot” that emerges when consolidating servers into a virtualized computing environment.

Ultra-high Efficiency in Handling Virtual and Physical Traffic 
Phantom HD is a powerful solution that terminates and decapsulates virtual traffic tunneled from the Phantom Virtualization Tap™ at 10 Gbps—turning it back into raw physical monitoring traffic and defragmenting packets in the process. From there, it transports raw traffic of interest at 10Gbps from your virtual network to your instrumentation layer for monitoring. Phantom HD also encapsulates packets to speed monitoring traffic from remote locations such as branch offices over any IP network to a centralized bank of monitoring tools. It easily handles traffic from many virtual servers on multiple hypervisors and ESXs—providing connections for tunneled and raw traffic through Fiber SR 10 Gigabit ports.

Tapping Into Your Network’s Full Potential 
With Phantom HD, you use your network’s instrumentation layer to its full value and extent. You see the inspection layer as one coherent picture for quick issue detection and resolution. Phantom HD shortens inspection time and compliance audits. Its data consolidation lets you do more with a smaller staff. Phantom HD is remarkably easy to deploy and flexible to manage using its own CLI, the Director CLI or the Indigo Pro management system, Simply plug it in, configure your IP addresses—and begin encapsulating and decapsulating traffic.

The Phantom Solution™ for Remote Office Efficiency 
The Phantom Solution converges your remote and data center monitoring infrastructures, allowing network traffic from remote locations to be transported, stored, and inspected at one central control site. The Phantom Solution empowers your network with superior visibility and the capability to process higher data bandwidths cost-efficiently. Now an IDS cluster in a central location can monitor traffic from remote offices while you economize on personnel, licensing costs, time, and resources. 

Total Visibility Meets Your Compliance and Security Needs
Whatever industry you’re in, you’re challenged to document your compliance with a growing body of regulations. Phantom HD streamlines compliance audits and record-keeping. Total visibility and support for high-throughput monitoring of all virtualized data center traffic streamlines audit activities and compliance with regulations such as NERC, HIPAA, and PCI-DDS. Protecting confidential data from threats and intrusion is an important function of Phantom HD. Total visibility into both virtual and physical networks offers a significant security advantage. Service Providers can introduce popular new services and fulfill SLAs without corruption or latency concerns.

Phantom HD lets you take full advantage of the efficiency and economy of virtual computing while preserving the value of your physical implementation. Think of it as your key to 100 percent visibility and vastly improved security.
