Case Study: World's Leading Teaching and Research Institution achieves application performance and campus-wide security visibility with Keysight Vision X

Leading University Maintains Application Performance and Defends Against Hackers

World's Leading Teaching and Research Institution — a major university with over 15,000 students and 2,000+ faculty — was being targeted by international hackers and experiencing application performance drops on cutting‑edge 100G campus links. The customer engaged Keysight to eliminate visibility blind spots and add Layer‑7 application filtering, 100G link monitoring, and high‑throughput NetFlow collection.

Keysight deployed a visibility fabric centered on the Vision X network packet broker with AppStack and PacketStack modules, plus Vision Edge devices, Flex Tap and Ixia Fabric Controller, to provide Layer‑7 intelligence, deduplication, TLS handling and high‑performance NetFlow/IPFIX. The Keysight solution delivered zero‑loss application filtering on 100G monitoring links, accurate application performance data with high‑throughput NetFlow (>200G), full campus visibility and security, higher error detection and processing volumes, and reduced false positives.
