EdgeSafe: 40G Bypass Modular Network TAP
40G/10G | Inline Bypass | Failsafe | Ensure reliability for multiple inline tools
A Bypass TAP, also referred to as a 'bypass switch', provides the ability to manage the availability and reliability of your inline tool (IPS, WAF, firewalls) any time without network downtime or impacting business availability for maintenance or upgrades. A critical component to IT security strategies.
Garland’s 40G modular EdgeSafeTM Bypass TAPs, are purpose-built to provide the ultimate failsafe device that eliminates single points of failure, reducing network downtime, without compromising the network.
Bypass TAP "Inline lifecycle management" allows you to sandbox new tool deployments, manage updates, install patches, perform maintenance or troubleshooting and validate out-of-band, without impacting the network.


Key Features
- Inline Bypass — sandbox, deploy, troubleshoot and replace active inline tools without taking the network link down
- Network Failsafe - Garland failsafe technology recognizes power outages and automatically closes the relay circuitry in less than eight milliseconds, reconnecting the two network devices connected to ports A and B
- Heartbeat Health Check - Configurable heartbeat packets monitor the health of the inline appliance. If the tools availability changes, the Bypass TAP will automatically ‘bypass’ the tool, or failover to a redundant solution, keeping your network up while you resolve the issue
Additional
