NVIDIA NetQ

Network Operations with NetQ

NVIDIA NetQ^™ is a highly scalable, modern network operations toolset that provides visibility, troubleshooting, and validation of your Cumulus and SONiC fabrics in real time. NetQ utilizes telemetry and delivers actionable insights about the health of your data center network, integrating the fabric into your DevOps ecosystem.

How NetQ works

Data Collection
Data Processing
Data Visualization

Using agents on the switches and hosts, NetQ is able to collect telemetry data across the entire network.

As a central control point, NetQ stores and processes information to provide actionable insights and complete visibility.

The rich graphical user interface (GUI) simplifies operations and increases efficiency by quickly highlighting issues and alerts.

Why Choose NetQ for Network Operations?

NetQ natively supports NVIDIA^® What Just Happened^® (WJH) through the Spectrum^® ASIC for hardware-accelerated detection and reporting of data plane anomalies and intermittent network issues.

NetQ is also available as a secure cloud service, making it even easier to install, deploy, and scale your network. Leveraging a cloud-based deployment of NetQ offers instant upgrades, zero maintenance, and minimal appliance management efforts.
