This paper discusses performance with your monitoring and secuirty tools. Are you getting the best performance from your monitoring and security tools—or is oversubscription causing them to drop packets and miss messages? Today’s skyrocketing traffic and high-speed 10 Gbps links put...

Today’s networks are called on to carry ever-rising volumes of triple-play services and multiprotocol traffic. With more points to monitor and soaring line speeds, the need for business-critical security, compliance, availability, and performance is putting pressure on switching speed....

When Cisco needed to showcase their newest Borderless Network capabilities and demonstrate MACsec technology at work, they looked to Net Optics. Director xStream Pro generates live statistics from any +network segment even at ultra-high data volumes. And since downtime isn’t an option,...

In a high-availability network, the loss of a single device or power source must not be allowed to disrupt network connectivity. Adding a network security device to protect the network should not introduce any single point of failure. Combining Palo Alto Networks’ next-generation firewall...

This paper explains why data diodes are essential for creating completely secure network connections that absolutely prevent data from leaving (or, in other cases, from entering) high-security installations. Both fiber and copper network Taps are shown to be perfect data diodes, as are other Net...

This paper explains what dynamic load balancing for monitoring applications is, and how it compares to static load balancing techniques. It describes important features provided by Director Pro’s dynamic load balancing engine including link-state awareness and N+1 redundancy for high...

The migration to virtual computing architectures has created a new blind spot in the enterprise: the traffic between virtual servers in the same physical chassis. This “invisible traffic” never crosses any network segment where it can be easily captured. Invisible traffic is a...

The market momentum enabled by LTE and 4G offerings continues to build, with progress driven by flat-rate pricing models that create a perfect storm of mobile data consumption. As a result of this evolution, Service Providers are coming under increased competitive pressure as well as a growing...

Joel Snyder, Senior Partner at Opus One, identifies the need for network visibility and security in a virtualized environment. Mr. Snyder identifies Net Optics Phantom Virtual Tap as an enterprise-class solution for providing the visibility needed to tap into inter-vm traffic, and reports on his...

A quick reference to determine how much light can be directed to the monitor ports for efficient network monitoring.

The IBM Proventia® Network Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) GX6116 protects the core of your network with 15 Gbps throughput (6 Gbps inspected) and 16 1,000 TX/SX/LX monitoring interfaces to protect eight segments.

Read about the information revolution taking place in practice of healthcare. This paper examines how Tap technology provides this key capability of traffic visibility to enable healthcare’s digital future. 

The best uses for the Director - Data Monitoring Switch to relieve overburdened monitoring tools with intelligent packet filtering.

A guide that outlines the best practices for incorporating a (MAP) Monitoring Access Platform into your network before problems occur.

Whether deploying BIG-IP ASM to satisfy the requirements of PCI DSS Section 6.6, or to defend against sophisticated Web application attacks such as SQL injection, URL tampering, or cross-site scripting, you want a solution with maximum reliability to keep your critical business applications up...

Bypass functionality ensures network uptime by bypassing an in-line device such as an IPS when the device becomes unavailable for any reason. An independent, external Bypass Switch device used in conjuntion with an IPS improves overall solution reliability and increases application availability...

TippingPoint prevents downtime as a result of outages and provides an efficient return on investment using Multi-Segment Bypass Switches for IPS deployments.

Flexible access capabilities allow for improved monitoring and interception of data traffic such as e-mail, Web and business applications. Which, helps you fine tune your network for new service delivery, pinpoint network problems and troubleshoot software and hardware issues. Move to a new way...

A quick reference that highlights the difference between our Bypass and iBypass product lines.

In today’s IT-driven organizations, network performance is key to providing excellent customer experiences, driving business process efficiencies, growing revenue, and maintaining a competitive advantage. Find out how to handle higher bandwidth traffic without a total reinvestment, or...

Prevent disruptive outages and provide efficient return on investment for your IPS resources.

A paper that outlines the benefits of Taps versus Span ports for improved passive monitoring access.
