As applications and workloads move into public cloud and hybrid environments, maintaining network visibility becomes increasingly challenging. 

Traditional hardware Network TAPs cannot monitor virtual infrastructure, yet cloud-hosted applications remain just as dependent on effective security monitoring, performance management, and forensic investigation. 

Virtual TAPs bridge this gap by providing packet-level visibility across virtualised and cloud-native environments, ensuring your monitoring and security tools continue to receive the traffic they need. 

Visibility beyond the data centre

Cloud platforms introduce new challenges for network operations and security teams. 

Virtual machines, containers, and cloud-native applications generate traffic that often never traverses traditional physical monitoring points, making it difficult to understand application performance, investigate security incidents, and maintain operational visibility. 

Virtual TAPs provide controlled access to this traffic, enabling organisations to extend packet visibility beyond the physical data centre into public, private, and hybrid cloud environments. 

Monitor cloud traffic with confidence

Virtual TAPs capture and securely forward packet data from cloud workloads to your existing monitoring, packet capture, and cyber security platforms. 

Using intuitive management interfaces, traffic can be selectively collected and directed to the tools that need it, providing consistent visibility across physical and virtual infrastructures while avoiding unnecessary complexity. 

The result is a unified monitoring architecture that spans on-prem networks and cloud environments alike. 

Strengthen security and performance

Cloud visibility is essential for more than just troubleshooting. 

Virtual TAPs support a wide range of operational and security applications, including: 

  • Network performance monitoring 
  • Application performance monitoring 
  • Packet capture and forensic investigations 
  • Threat detection and cyber security monitoring 
  • Compliance and operational assurance 

By making cloud traffic available to existing monitoring platforms, companies gain the same level of visibility in the cloud that they have traditionally relied upon within their physical networks. 

A seamless extension of your visibility architecture

Virtual TAPs complement physical Network TAPs, creating a consistent packet acquisition strategy across enterprise networks, data centres, and cloud platforms. 

Whether applications are hosted on-prem, in private clouds, or across leading public cloud providers, Virtual TAPs ensure your monitoring infrastructure continues to receive complete and reliable packet data wherever your workloads reside.
