Garland Partners with Napatech: 100% Data Capture and Real-Time Delivery

We recently solidified a partnership with Napatech, a leading provider of solutions that achieve smarter data delivery to applications and ensure the quality and security of network services.

The pursuit of control over ever-increasing volumes (and speeds) of data across the network is something that resonates with us at Garland Technology.

But when you’re implementing a solution like the Napatech Pandion network recorder, it needs to be deployed in a way that ensures 100% visibility and real-time packet capture.
This is why we’ve partnered with Napatech—to ensure that the promise of real-time, on-demand access to packet-level data is fulfilled with the help of aggregator and optical network TAPs.

Here’s some more insight into what this partnership means for you.

The Garland Technology-Napatech Joint Solution

Garland + Napatech Joint SolutionThis diagram shows how our joint solution with Napatech works to provide 100% network visibility and guarantee complete real-time packet capture.

The network TAP is put in place to collect all traffic between a switch/router link. With aggregation and regeneration mode, the traffic can be copied to the ports connected to a solution like the Napatech Pandion.

With the help of network TAPs, Napatech Pandion can deliver on its promise to record 100% accurate full-packet captures and provide on-demand access to them in real-time.

When an IDS or DLP solution connected to Napatech Pandion generates an alert to SIEM dashboard, these on-demand full-packet captures allow analysts to dig deeper into the details and find root causes.

The partnership between Garland Technology network TAPs and Napatech Pandion result in end-user IT benefits such as:

  • Full line-rate packet recording for a wide range of speeds (1/10/40/100 Gbps)
  • Hardware time stamps for packet data with nanosecond precision
  • Accelerated search functionality within packet recordings
  • And more

[If you want to learn more about how network TAPs are helping Napatech (and how they can help you achieve your IT goals), check out our free white paper, Network TAPs 101: The Networking User Guide.]

There are so many innovative network monitoring and security solutions available to IT teams of all sizes today. But they all have one thing in common—the fact that incomplete packet visibility undermines performance.

Two Types of Network TAPs Powering the Napatech Partnership

While all IT teams face their own unique challenges, network visibility is a common challenge for everyone. The Napatech partnership showcases a use case for at least two types of network TAPs:

  • Aggregating Network TAPs: Capture 100% full duplex network traffic that can be sent to multiple appliances. Even in case of network disasters, these TAPs maintain visibility for your security and monitoring tools.
  • Passive Optical Network TAPs: As networks outgrow traditional, low-speed copper infrastructure, visibility must be a priority. These network TAPs help scale to speeds of 1G, 10G, 40G, and even 100G when you’ve transitioned to fiber cables. They’ll give you 100% copies of network data without impacting traffic or hurting the performance of security and monitoring tools.

We’re happy to be partnering with Napatech to sustain the promise of 100% packet capture and visibility for enterprise and security provider applications. As we say at Garland Technology, network TAPs will always give you access to every bit, byte and packet®.
