Challenge: How to capture the most complete information from your network?

A Tap provides a passive access point into the network, enabling you to see 100% of the traffic using the monitoring tool of your choice. This also makes it easy install an analysis or security appliance on a link (at 10 or 100 or 1000 Mbps depending on your network topology) without data stream interference or introducing a point of failure. In-line Taps will also forward all layer one and two errors that may be dropped when using Span ports.

• Passive fail-over technology ensures link reliability.
• Redundant power ensures monitoring up time.
• Real-time traffic duplication of all traffic types and errors.

You benefit by being able to monitor the information that travels through the network more efficiently. By using a Tap, you gain a constant access point and eliminate the need to run cabling directly to the monitoring device from network devices. Thus, adding flexibility, saving time and avoiding possible cabling issues.

When Span Ports are Necessary:

We understand that Span ports on a network switch are sometimes a requirement, but we also realize that a monitoring tool is now dedicated to one switch. Net Optics invented Span Link Aggregators to consolidate the traffic from multiple network switches, which allows you to better manage traffic capture. One monitoring tool or multiple tools now provide added value by accessing the data they are designed to monitor best.
