Packet Deduplication Explained
Duplicate packets are one of those things that happen in a busy network. Although using different network equipment and optimizing your network will minimize duplicates, they’ll still crop up on a fairly regular basis. This can be a...
Network Packet Visibility for Hybrid Cloud Environment
Nearly all cyber attacks must cross the network, so extracting security-relevant data from network traffic is essential across a wide range of security operations. As teams are moving to the cloud, they lose physical access to applications...
Improve Network Packet Broker ROI with an Aggregation Layer
The aggregation layer, and thus the four-tiered approach to network visibility grew out of the need to maximize the ROI of NPBs and monitoring and security tools. Before we talk about the aggregation layer and the benefits it brings, let’s...
Unleash the Power of Packet Slicing and Time Stamping in your Network
In today’s environments with significant investment in security and monitoring tools, Garland Technology recognizes the need for a cost-effective solution that provides the flexibility and performance that networks today require. We have...
Aggregation in a High Density Fiber Network
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....
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,...
