Niagara Networks Launches the New SDN Network Visibility Management

Solution

Las Vegas, NV, June 26, 2017 --(PR.com)-- Today at Cisco Live, Cisco's annual IT and communications
conference, Niagara Networks, a leader in network visibility solutions, announced the launch of a new
network visibility management and control solution - the Niagara Visibility Controller (NVC).

Niagara Visibility Controller is a centralized management application that leverages software-defined

network (SDN) architecture and OpenFlow protocol to provide an enterprise-wide managed visibility
layer. With the NVC, the user can interact with multiple devices as a single virtual switch fabric, and at
the same time integrate with the customer's wider management orchestration needs.

The network visibility layer has evolved through the convergence of two trends in the network and IT
worlds. On one hand, IT managers have been increasing the breadth and depth of their network visibility
deployments from single-device solutions to multi-device, multi-site deployments. On the other hand, the
ubiquity of network services and applications has been mushrooming to encompass increased levels of
sophistication and complexity involving monitoring, performance management and security.

Niagara has been following this industry trend and through customer surveys identified an increase in the
challenges in managing network visibility devices including the user's work load, time spent on
configurations, and risk from errors in the process.

This knowledge led Niagara Networks to shift from the customary management solution of simply
"extending" an existing single device manager solution to multiple devices, to a new product design and
development process focused on the challenges and methods of managing multiple devices and network
services.

The NVC's advanced abstraction layer enables the creation of an intelligent, dynamic and responsive
network visibility layer - one that interacts with the network services in real time. The abstraction layer
also serves to hide the complexities associated with managing and configuring the visibility layer, thus
increasing the ease-of-use. "The advanced abstraction layer opens new opportunities in service creation
and service management. Moreover, by increasing the ease-of-use, we are reducing probability for errors
and the time and effort to manage the network visibility layer," stated Yoram Ehrlich, Director of
Products.

"We are pleased with the strong interest in the market for our visibility control manager that addresses
customer needs and is easy-to-use. We have already received initial orders from leading companies in the
Software Security, Banking, and Service Provider industries," said Shay Morag, Global VP of Sales.
