AF1G52AC
Advanced Feature Network Packet Broker
1U NPB with 52 Ports
Garland Technology’s AF1G52AC and AF1G52DC is a purpose-built network packet broker, built to extend the feature set of any product. The system is designed to support NTP time stamping, packet slicing, traffic aggregation, GRE Tunneling, hash-based load balancing, and deduplication. Adding these features to your existing infrastructure, can significantly reduce the processing overhead from security or monitoring tools.
The AF1G52AC is a scalable and flexible, offering a wide range of options to meet your needs. With available speeds from 10M to1 0G, and GRE, L2GRE, ERSPAN, VxLAN Tunneling all included with no additional per-port license fees, you have the ability to deploy what features you need, when you need it.
We believe that securing and monitoring your network is the ultimate goal. Network packet brokers are critical to accomplishing that goal providing management of network traffic from multiple links to optimize the performance of your network monitoring and security tools.
