High density networks can create infrastructure challenges related to figuring out how to ensure all network links are being analyzed by security and monitoring tools. This was the case with one major European telecommunications company. They were looking to capture traffic from 60 10G links to forward to their Forescout boxes for analysis.

Network Visibility Fabric Design - Focus on the Core

We’ve previously talked about the importance of the access layer, aggregation layer and edge to a well-designed network visibility fabric. Tapped traffic from the access layer flows to the aggregation layer, where it’s collected, processed, and then forwarded to the core of the fabric.

The Battle Of The Bandwidth

After an epic 15 year reign at number one, 10G tools begin their descent down the charts of network infrastructure, making way for the rise of “hot” 100G technology. Iconic sensations like big data infrastructure and the explosion of bandwidth-intensive applications in large enterprises dropped the bass for 10G networking tools. Cisco, a preferred partner of Garland technology, released the Bidirectional 40G Fiber Connectivity, a real crowd-pleaser to help bandwidth accessibility.

Garland Technology's PacketMAX™ Advanced Aggregators are very popular with customers that have a lot of tapped network links or a lot of tools to distribute monitor traffic to. In large environments, multiple aggregators may be needed to consolidate the tapped traffic down to a manageable number of monitor links for tools. While the Advanced Aggregators have web-based management consoles, customers are often looking for a way to simplify the management of these devices, especially when multiple devices are in place.

The Role of Bypass Solutions in a Network Visibility Fabric

on 4/4/19 8:00 AM By | Jeff Warner | 0 Comments | Network Infrastructure Network Design In Band Security Appliances Network Packet Brokers/Advanced Aggregators

Designing complete network visibility solutions takes more than just Network TAPs and Network Packet Brokers at key points in the access and aggregation layers of the network. With network security being more important than ever before, today’s network visibility fabrics also must supply traffic to inline security tools such as a next-gen firewall, WAF, or IPS to protect critical parts of the network.
