Accommodate Traffic Growth

Network TAP Solutions

Challenge: How can I accommodate traffic growth in my network?

Organizations may be upgrading network speeds after investing significant money in 1G tools, or moving from 10G to 25G or even up to 100G. Higher network speeds are more challenging to monitor due to the fact that many tools simply can’t accommodate a 100G version, or budgets may be squeezed to accommodate multiple tools at that speed. Not only that, but upgrades can require having to replace the entire cable infrastructure in the process. Enterprises may need to get creative and utilize network packet brokers for speed conversion as an immediate solution.

Solution

Modular Solutions for Future Growth

Garland Technology’s modular approach to a network visibility fabric provides companies the scalability and flexibility to deploy what you need, when you need it, so you can focus on what's important - network visibility, including:

• Modular network TAPs offer the scalability to add additional TAPs in the same footprint.

• Deconstructed PacketMAX packet brokers are cost effective with no additional port/feature license fees and Open Vendor transceivers/optics, and offer the scalability and flexibility for future on-demand growth with excellent ROI. 

Overcoming network speed and media upgrades

When accommodating for network traffic growth, it’s common to have network speeds and media that don't match existing monitoring tools. A cost effective solution for speed conversion is utilizing Garland’s passive fiber Network TAPs in combination with a PacketMAX packet broker to ensure any-to-any configuration of network speeds accommodating 1G/10G/25G/40G/100/400G speeds. Garland’s network TAPs also offer media conversion to accommodate various connections within the physical layer.

Utilize existing infrastructure when upgrading network speeds. Using BiDirectional optical technology, which uses two parallel multi-mode fiber strands to transmit the signal bidirectionally rather than unidirectionally, network managers are able to achieve 100G traffic over their existing cable infrastructure.

Garland Technology’s BiDi Passive Fiber Network TAPs feed wire data to the PacketMAX packet broker, which provide the load balancing needed to use existing 10G monitoring and security tools. By making use of BiDi technology, teams are able to ensure complete visibility to existing infrastructure rather than replace the entire system to operate at 100G.
