GIGABIT SECURITY AND PERFORMANCE MONITORING FOR ENTERPRISE NETWORKS

SUMMARY OF PRODUCT FEATURES

SUMMARY OF CUSTOMER BENEFITS
  • Remotely Managed Connectivity – Supporting up to 20 input or tool ports (10/100/1000 UTP or GigE fiber) for bidirectional links or “out-of-band” network monitoring, analysis or security surveillance tools
    • Any-to-Any (Direct traffic from any link to any tool; can merge Tx/Rx into a single tool interface)
    • Many-to-Any (Aggregate traffic from multiple links into any tool and deliver “Network View”)
    • Any-to-Many (Multicast copies of singular or aggregated traffic stream to multiple tools)

    Packet Level Filtering – Dynamic bit-mask filtering to remove non-relevant traffic in order to reduce processing overhead on attached tools and to enable bandwidth-efficient multi-link aggregation
    Backflow Support – Can safely insert TCP Reset packets, SNMP commands or test traffic initiated by attached tools into traffic stream without collisions
    Fault Tolerant Design – Production links protected at all times (for copper, relay closes if power fails; for fiber, optical switch maintains connection)
    Modularized Design – Install once, and never have to touch any links again; can add, remove, migrate or reconfigure tools at-will without impacting network
 
  • GigaVUE reduces Total-Cost-of-Ownership
  • “Bring New Life to Your Tools” – Reduce CapEX by aggregating and filtering relevant traffic across the network into single-link tools

  • “Do More with Less” – Reduce OpEX by centralizing support and tool management; also, fewer tools means fewer false positives reported Restore LAN switch performance and free up network resources by not overtaxing SPAN ports

  • GigaVUE improves network operations
    No need to break links and no more fighting over SPAN ports or access taps (both the Security and IT Departments can get custom access as needed)
  • “Virtual Crash Cart” greatly expedites “Time-to-Resolution” – GigaVUE can instantly deploy network tools to any link, at any time, from anywhere – automatically updating and finding
    paths to troubled links based on host description

  • GigaVUE allows “Pay-as-you-Grow”
    Up to 32 boxes can be easily “stacked” using the
    GigaLINK ports to access up to 640 links or tools

    GigaVUE is “Future-Proof”
    Support migration to 10Gig tools; can reassign
    input ports to support more tools and vice versa
