The Phantom™ Virtual Tap is a landmark innovation in network traffic monitoring for
virtualized and cloud computing environments.
This rich-featured software Tap is a vital
resource for streamlining security, management, and compliance. Tapping traffic between
virtual servers (VMs) on a physical server, it delivers unprecedented total visibility into
traffic passing between VMs on hypervisor stacks. The Phantom Virtual Tap replicates traffic
passing between virtual network interface controllers (NICs) and pushes it out to both virtual
and physical monitoring devices for maximum versatility.
This Tap is the only solution on the
market from a monitoring access vendor that addresses both physical and virtual environments.

We describe our xBalancer, and the load balancing function in our other devices, as a "Monitoring Load Balancer." Sometimes the question arises, why the "monitoring" qualifier? Isn't a load balancer just a load balancer? Can't I use xBalancer in place of much more expensive load balancers that balance application traffic to a pool of servers? I'm thinking of balancing Web traffic to a pool of Web servers, or database traffic to a pool of database servers, for example.
