Garland Technology gets network design, so we are thrilled to partner with them and distribute their network access products."
Garland Technology’s APAC director, Mike Shaw, had this to say regarding the decision to partner up with Datumstruct: “When I was researching resellers for our APAC distribution channels, I knew we had to find a company that respected quality and customer service the way Garland Technology does. We found both of those in the professionals at Datumstruct, and are very excited with the decision to work with them."
Though headquartered in Singapore, Datumstruct also offers services throughout their many offices located in Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippines, Thailand, China, and Hong Kong. This will allow for Garland Technology to capitalize on the ever-growing need for their products in Asia Pacific. “The Asian market for our hardware is always growing, and we needed to explore our distribution options.

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.
