Buffalo, NY - September 4, 2015 -- Garland Technology’s German office, joined by European Distributor NEOX NETWORKS, will be attending it-sa in Nuremberg, CLOUD in Frankfurt, and CiscoLive in Berlin.
“We are committed to our EMEA customers and want to continue our education on why 100% network access and visibility is imperative,” states CEO/Co-Founder Chris Bihary. “Timur Ozcan, Managing Director of NEOX NETWORKS and Patrick Nixdorf, Garland Technology System Engineer will speak at these and other EMEA events to educate IT professionals on how to create 100% network access and visibility with our proprietary network access hardware devices.”
Cyber attacks have grown in quantity and severity worldwide, requiring organizations and their network operations and security teams to work with more complex equipment and inline solutions to capture, analyze, isolate and restrict any traffic that shows signs of malicious or out of policy behavior.
Bihary continues, “As Germany continues to lead Europe’s growth and technical infrastructure, we need to ensure networks are being designed with full access and visibility, while thinking about scalability for tomorrow’s network speeds. Seeing every bit, byte and packetⓇ coming in and exiting your network is vital to your company’s security.”
Garland Technology begins their three city tour with the it-sa 2015 Security Expo and Conference in Nuremberg from October 6-8. it-sa is one of the most important IT security exhibitions in the world and features an extensive product spectrum, a variety of special areas and the opportunities to specifically discuss the most controversial IT security topics.
Next on the stop is the Cloud Expo in Frankfurt from November 10-11. With more Cloud and mobile applications and users, it's imperative to have full visibility of your data. Garland will show how to optimize your network for performance, efficiency and security with its network access products.
In Spring 2016, Garland Technology exhibits at CiscoLive Berlin from February 15-19. This is the largest gathering of Cisco customers, experts and partners in Europe. Garland Technology is a Cisco Solutions provider and will showcase their new BiDirectional Breakout TAP, an exclusive Cisco Partner Solution.

About Garland Technology
Garland Technology guarantees precise data monitoring capabilities for enterprise networks with no added point of failure. Garland's line of Test Access Points (TAPs) are the foundation to all network monitoring by delivering access to all data for security, network visualization, network performance monitoring, forensics, deep packet capture, data leakage, and compliance.
Garland Technology manufacturers a full line of network access points including network TAPs in aggregation, bypass, and breakout modes as well as the Filtering, Aggregation, and Load Balancing (FAB) and the EdgeLens, a hybrid bypass tap with packet broker. Garland's network access products are available for 10/100/1000, 1 Gigabit, 10 Gigabit, 40 Gigabit, and 100 Gigabit local and wide area networks.
If the inline security tool goes off-line, the TAP will bypass the tool and automatically keep the link flowing. The Bypass TAP does this by sending heartbeat packets to the inline security tool. As long as the inline security tool is on-line, the heartbeat packets will be returned to the TAP, and the link traffic will continue to flow through the inline security tool.
If the heartbeat packets are not returned to the TAP (indicating that the inline security tool has gone off-line), the TAP will automatically 'bypass' the inline security tool and keep the link traffic flowing. The TAP also removes the heartbeat packets before sending the network traffic back onto the critical link.
While the TAP is in bypass mode, it continues to send heartbeat packets out to the inline security tool so that once the tool is back on-line, it will begin returning the heartbeat packets back to the TAP indicating that the tool is ready to go back to work. The TAP will then direct the network traffic back through the inline security tool along with the heartbeat packets placing the tool back inline.
Some of you may have noticed a flaw in the logic behind this solution! You say, “What if the TAP should fail because it is also in-line? Then the link will also fail!” The TAP would now be considered a point of failure. That is a good catch – but in our blog on Bypass vs. Failsafe, I explained that if a TAP were to fail or lose power, it must provide failsafe protection to the link it is attached to. So our network TAP will go into Failsafe mode keeping the link flowing.
Single point of failure: a risk to an IT network if one part of the system brings down a larger part of the entire system.
Heartbeat packet: a soft detection technology that monitors the health of inline appliances. Read the heartbeat packet blog here.
Critical link: the connection between two or more network devices or appliances that if the connection fails then the network is disrupted.
