Network Taps

{tab Overview}

 Organizations require 100% visibility into network traffic to ensure peak performance and security. But the larger a network grows, the harder it becomes to monitor. Blind spots can easily compromise network quality. Traditional monitoring methods, such as port mirroring, can be costly and add layers of complexity. And some monitoring solutions negatively impact network availability. With networks growing faster than ever, now is the time for a high-performance, scalable monitoring solution. 

Aggregation Taps

{tab Overview}

Simple and ultra-efficient, aggregators provide access to full-duplex links using just asingle NIC on the monitoring or analyzer tool. Products combine each side of a networklink and copy aggregated data to one or more monitoring ports. Available are two families of aggregator taps to fit your specific needs.

Regeneration Taps

{tab Overview}

Regeneration Taps enable the ability for multiple tools to monitor the same network traffic while adding the flexibility of modular SFP based monitor ports. Keep your intrusion detection and prevention systems, protocol analyzers, RMON probes, and other security devices productive with a single Regeneration Tap. Save on mirror ports or additional tools by allowing multiple tools to monitor the same traffic simultaneously through one Regeneration Tap.

Virtual Taps

 {tab Overview}

Virtualization Tap™ bridges the physical and virtual, so that you can monitor the virtualized network with your existing set of tools. Virtual Tap is capable of capturing and then sending inter-VM traffic of interest to the tools that are already monitoring your physical network.

Bypass Switches

 {tab Overview}

Networks face a continuously evolving barrage of security threats. Directly deploying inline security tools can create a line of defense, but these tools can also result in single points of failure. Even a potent mix of security and analytics tools can lead to risks as regular rebooting, maintenance, and upgrades increase the chances of costly network outages. While hardware devices such as bypass switches can help, not all switches are created equal.
