Keysight Vision Orchestrator
Keysight Vision Orchestrator
As networks evolve to support cloud and edge computing, the solutions required to monitor these
environments become more complex. Vision Orchestrator allows you to define a clear intention for
monitoring: Where, When, and How to deliver data. Vision Orchestrator’s AI Expert System then performs
the complex task of configuring the low-level systems to deliver your intention.
Vision Orchestrator can manage hundreds of visibility nodes in the Cloud, Data Center, or Edge. This
enables organizations to scale and operate their visibility solutions across their entire environment with
the ease of intent-based policies.
Vision Orchestrator is offered as a virtual appliance which can operate on most major hypervisors or
cloud providers.

Intent-Based Visibility Orchestration
With Intent-based Orchestration, you can focus on your business needs instead of product specifics.
Rather than focusing on port numbers, product models, or complex filter specifications, you can focus on
the data you need and the systems that need it. Vision Orchestrator’s AI Expert System takes your
business intention and translates that to the necessary configuration for each device it manages.
Additionally, by expressing a high-level intention, Vision Orchestrator can self-heal the Visibility Solutions
in the event of any failures or degradation of service. This ensures easy configuration and adaptable
response for modern visibility needs. All of this is done with change control management to ensure the
right configuration is deployed with a validation and enforcement engine to make sure your business
intention is what the Visibility Solution delivers.

Simplified orchestration and automation
Automating a visibility fabric can be complex since components have purpose-built APIs with different
schemas. Vision Orchestrator acts as an API translator for all Keysight Visibility products abstracting that
complexity away from the user. Vision Orchestrator presents one Unified API which exposes every
function of the system. This enables northbound system to work with one central API to manage,
automate, and orchestrate events globally.
