Buffalo, NY—Garland Technology, has introduced the 1G Modular Packet Broker System, a versatile 1U and 2U chassis design that features advanced port-to-port filtering capabilities, including port mapping between in-row TAPs that allows for aggregation, regeneration and filtering data to a single link or regenerate the traffic to up to 4 links in a 1U chassis or up to 12 links in a 2U chassis.
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.
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.
Non-Management chassis available - management card can be added at later date
