Basefarm: Scaling Intrusion Detection Systems with DANZ Monitoring Fabric (DMF)
To implement cost-effective intrusion detection and minimize operational overhead across multiple data centers, hosting provider Basefarm deployed the Arista DANZ Monitoring Fabric. Arista Networks software played a pivotal role in this initiative by providing seamless integration and automation of workflows, enabling swift deployment and effortless management. By leveraging this advanced out-of-band monitoring solution on Dell switch hardware, Basefarm ensured that existing security tools across all locations received real-time copies of relevant network flows. This successful implementation eliminated the need for multiple disparate intrusion detection systems, drastically improved efficiency, and fortified security for tens of thousands of critical business services.
