Agilent/Keysight Vision Edge 100 – SYSE100-8PC-AC

The Keysight Vision Edge 100 (SYSE100-8PC-AC) is a 1U rack-mountable network packet broker delivering multi-speed visibility across data center fabrics. This device features 32 QSFP28 front panel ports, each independently configurable for 10 Gbps, 25 Gbps, 40 Gbps, 50 Gbps, or 100 Gbps operation. Maximum port density reaches 128 ports at 10/25 Gbps, 64 ports at 50 Gbps, or 32 ports at 40/100 Gbps. The Vision Edge 100 deploys in both inline and out-of-band monitoring modes simultaneously, with inline high-availability support. Traffic management capabilities include aggregation, multi-stage filtering with dynamic filter compilation, session-aware load balancing, flexible replication (1:1, 1:Many, Many:1, Many:Many), and native L2GRE/VxLAN tunnel termination with conditional header stripping. Redundant hot-swappable power supplies and cooling fans ensure operational continuity. Integration with Keysight’s Ixia Fabric Controller (IFC) enables unified management across distributed visibility deployments with single-pane-of-glass IFC clustering.
