Single and dual link taps

Combination taps Benefits:
Full-duplex and multi-link visibility for single interface analysis solutions. Increases the value of a single mirror port by replicating the traffic to multiple monitoring and analysis devices. Signal regeneration to support multiple analysis devices on the same tap. Use the inline capabilities when installing the tap between two network devices. The tap provides a copy of the network traffic for realtime monitoring and analysis. Aggregation provides access to critical links and meshed network traffic by combining full-duplex and multi-link traffic into a single data stream. The tap regenerates the signal so multiple analysis and monitoring devices can share the tapped connection simultaneously. Use the span capabilities to replicate network traffic from taps and mirror ports to multiple analysis and monitoring devices. The ability to aggregate multiple mirror ports gives monitoring devices greater visibility across numerous network segments and maximizes the ROI on analysis and monitoring devices. All combination taps feature any-to-any architecture and port steering. These are flexible ports that can be configured as either network (input) ports or monitor (tap) ports. Traffic from the network ports can be directed to any monitor port, allowing the traffic to be steered and aggregated as desired. Increased aggregation for greater visibility across more critical links. Any-to-any architecture and port steering make it easy to direct the desired mix of traffic to the appropriate device. Many-to-one architecture allows analysis devices to have improved visibility with fewer ports. Highly configurable and flexible design ensures deployments options match the needs of any organization. Plug-and-play simplicity for fast analysis and deployment. Media conversion to expand the ROI of existing analysis solutions. Eliminates the need for port mirroring which can degrade switch performance. Increased replication for a greater number of monitoring solutions.

Network taps at a glance

Copy traffic running through a network and send that traffic to analyzers and probes that improve network efficiency and security. Found in large data networks in virtually every industry vertical. Provide permanent ports for network, application and security analysis solutions. Improve the performance of network, application and security solutions. Decrease the MTTR thru faster resolution of network, application and security issues. Increase the ROI of traffic analyzers and probes. Decrease the reliance on switch and router resources for network traffic visibility. Are remarkably reliable. Suitable for numerous IT groups o Network operations o Network engineering o Information security o Quality assurance o Web analytics o Application analysis Available in numerous configurations to support all network access strategies and objectives o Inline taps o Inline aggregation taps o Span taps o Combination inline and span taps

Combination taps merge inline tapping with span regeneration and aggregation, all in the same tap. Maximum flexibility and configurability ensures that necessary traffic is fed to the appropriate device. Once the tap is installed, network, application and security analysis solutions gain clear, unobstructed visibility of traffic and events by simply plugging into the tap.
