“We are continually proud to offer the newest and most economical network test access products to enterprises, service providers, and government agencies worldwide, but it’s our almost 10-year record of maintaining zero-fail on all products, that sets us apart,” states, Chris Bihary, Chief Executive Officer, Garland Technology. “It’s critical that we remain vigilant to understanding the challenges network and security teams face, and that we address both R&D and budget, simultaneously.”

Military Grade Industrial TAP: Upgraded military-grade copper test access point for use in extreme weather environments. The mil-spec connectors ensure reliable performance regardless of the operating environment. The TAP can be ordered as a portable single segment device or as a dual segment in-chassis solution, 100M and 1G options are available.

Garland vTAP: Software-based test access point solution that captures east-west traffic passing between tenant virtual machines, which can then be encapsulated and sent directly to monitoring tools or to network packet brokers in hybrid network architectures. The vTAP is VMware-approved for use with both virtual Standard Switches (vSS) and virtual Distributed Switches (vDS), with an alternate version offered for open stack and kernel-based virtual machine (KVM) deployments. 

100BASE-FX 1G Aggregator TAP: Provides line rate 100BASE-FX to 1G copper media conversion for increased compatibility with monitoring tools.  The test access point operates in in either breakout, aggregation, or span modes and guarantees zero packet loss regardless of the operating mode.

Passive Replication TAP: Allows multiple tools to access traffic without additional latency, taking one full-duplex input and delivering three copies of the network traffic, also allowing SPAN ports to be copied and sent to multiple locations for processing.
