[Spectrum-X Optimization] Which tool would you use to gather telemetry data in a SpectrumX network?

NVIDIA NetQ is a highly scalable network operations tool designed for modern data center fabrics. It provides real-time visibility, troubleshooting, and validation by collecting and analyzing telemetry data from network devices. As Spectrum-X is an Ethernet-based networking platform built upon NVIDIA Spectrum switches, NetQ is the designated tool for gathering telemetry and ensuring fabric health and performance within this architecture. It offers deep insights into the network state, allowing operators to proactively manage and optimize the AI-focused infrastructure.

A. NVIEW: This is desktop management software for NVIDIA GPUs and is unrelated to network fabric telemetry or management.

B. UFM: The Unified Fabric Manager (UFM) is NVIDIA's platform for managing, monitoring, and optimizing InfiniBand fabrics, not Ethernet-based Spectrum-X networks.

D. BCM: This is the stock ticker for Broadcom, a semiconductor company. It is not a software tool for network telemetry.
