Platform Architecture

FlowDirector and FlowMagic form a deterministic visibility pipeline, operated through the 01Layer Operating Platform.

Where traffic comes from

TAP/SPAN links, core fabrics, peering edges, inline inspection points, and distributed capture sites.

What each layer does

FlowDirector shapes traffic, service nodes transform traffic streams, and FlowMagic captures and analyzes them.

Typical deployments

Enterprise cores, carrier networks, distributed operations, and environments that require evidence-quality records.
