Garland Technology Launches 1G Modular Packet Broker System

Buffalo, NY—

Port-to-Port Aggregator and Backplane Filtering Features

The new port-to-port aggregator and port mapping filter allows for granular selection of network traffic at layers 2, 3, and 4 of the packet. This provides either one or many monitoring tools and analyzers only the traffic they are designed to protect. The multi-tier filter supports MAC, VLAN, IP, DSCP and UDP.

Flexible, Scalable Design Meets your Data Center Needs Today and Tomorrow

The new 1G chassis system features a scalable design that can accommodate 4 TAPs in a 1U and 12 TAPs in a 2U chassis as well as an optional remote management card with either a GUI or CLI controller. The  1G chassis accommodates any of Garland’s modular TAPs, including legacy models and supports breakout/passive, aggregation, filtering, regeneration/SPAN and bypass modes.

“The 1G Modular Packet Broker System is a game changer for the IT industry. We developed this to meet any network scenario and to allow customers the flexibility to change and adapt to future network needs - regardless if they are using the chassis for network monitoring or security tool management.” explains Chris Bihary, CEO/Co-Founder of Garland Technology.

The 1G Modular Packet Broker System has gone through proof of concept (POC) with Garland customer’s in the financial, entertainment and telecom industries as well as governmental agencies. “The development of the  1G Modular Packet Broker System was customer driven. We were asked to develop a multi-port aggregation and filtering solution for a key account. One key required feature was remote access for their 2500+ remote locations.” explains Bihary

“As we went through the R&D process we realized this is a first-to-market concept in the fact that the high density chassis can support any network TAP function depending on the customer’s needs, as well having the port mapping filter.” said Bihary.

Additional Functionality Includes:

• Media conversion: Fiber (SX, LX, ZX) to copper (TX) - or copper (TX) to fiber (SX, LX, ZX). Short range fiber (SX) to long range fiber (LX or ZX)
• Management Card: Ethernet with GUI - and Serial with CLI controller

Non-Management chassis available - management card can be added at later date

• TAP modules are hot swappable, fully configurable and interchangeable
• Chassis accommodates Garland’s legacy 1G modular TAPs
• All of Garland network TAP solutions are made, tested and certified in the USA
