Network Packet Brokers, also called Data (Network) Monitoring Switches, help you to intelligently manage your passively tapped network data and – through innovative technology – provide the analysis tools with the data packets reliably and in optimised form.
Media type and speed of your network do not matter, as these devices are equipped with SFP+ and QSFP28 connectors and process the data packets withou affecting the active line and redistribute them according to your wishes.
By filtering out the data with hardware-based filtering mechanisms prior to rejection, this allows you to evaluate multiple 10G lines with existing 1G analysis tools, for example, while reducing the amount of data for hassle-free and secure analysis. Data that is not of interest is either discarded or sent to other tools for further analysis.
