Network Visibility

Using a SPAN Port on your network switch is a risky strategy for making copies of network traffic because you are never guaranteed a full copy of all packets – especially during peak utilisation.

A Network Tap (Terminal Access Point) is small and dependable device that supplies an exact traffic replica to your Network Packet Broker, Cyber-Security, or Performance Monitoring layers. This provides a safe and cost-effective way of improving capability whilst reducing the risk of unnecessary network outages.

If you require more copies of your network traffic, a Regeneration Tap can provide multiple copies from a single input to multiple output ports serving various Visibility, Security and Performance Monitoring tools.

We supply scalable Copper and Optical Network Taps from world-leading manufacturers and can recommend and install a suitable Tap based on your unique challenges.

And if you need a Network Tap now, the chances are that it is to feed a Network Packet Broker, Security, Performance Monitoring, or Packet Capture tool. These are also areas for which we excel, and we will be happy to discuss your needs and run through how we provide integrated solutions to other customers.

Monitoring security and performance in public and hybrid cloud environments need not be a challenge. We can help you access your packet data across all leading cloud platforms and feed it to your security and monitoring tools with an easy-to-use drag and drop interface.

A Bypass Switch, also known as a Bypass Tap, is a small and robust device that ensures inline security devices like Intrusion Prevention Systems and Malware Sandboxes, do not cause downtime if they fail or are taken offline for configuration updates.

If a security device fails or needs to be taken offline, the Bypass Switch ensures continuity by instantly re-routing the traffic to a pre-defined alternative path.

Bypass Switches also monitor the health of security layers by sending and receiving heartbeat packets and taking instant action in the event of degradation or security device performance.

We supply Bypass Switch solutions from world-leading manufacturers and can recommend and install a suitable option based on your unique challenges.
