NVIDIA NetQ
Introduce holistic, real-time visibility, troubleshooting, and DevOps into your modern data center network.
Introduction
AI Factory Network Operations With NetQ
NVIDIA NetQ™ is a highly scalable network operations toolset that provides visibility, troubleshooting, correlation, and validation of your NVIDIA NVLink™ Switches and NVIDIA® Cumulus® fabrics in real time. NetQ utilizes telemetry and delivers actionable insights about the health of your data center network, ensuring your AI network fabric is operating smoothly.
Overview
How NetQ works
Data Collection, Processing, and Visualization
NetQ uses agents on the switches and hosts 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. Its rich graphical user interface (GUI) quickly highlights issues and alerts, simplifying operations and increasing efficiency.
