Net Optics Introduces Gigabit Link Aggregator; Innovative Link Aggregator Extends Coverage for Analyzers and Security Devices
Posted on: Wednesday, 4 May 2005, 12:00 CDT
Net Optics, the global leader in passive monitoring access for security and network management applications, today announced the launch of its first Gigabit Link Aggregator which increases the value of network security devices by providing traffic from multiple network segments. The versatile new Gigabit Link Aggregator combines traffic from up to four full-duplex links or eight switch SPAN ports into one or two Gigabit monitor ports. The Gigabit Link Aggregator three base models connect to 10/100BaseT networks, 10/100/1000BaseT networks or switch SPAN ports. This new product is available immediately with either one or two 10/100/1000BaseT or GigaBit fiber monitor ports.
"Security managers responsible for monitoring 100% of their networks to identify attacks and intrusions find themselves restricted by tight budgets," said Bob Shaw, CEO, Net Optics. "Installing a link aggregator in front of network monitoring and security devices is a cost effective means of extending the reach of these valuable resources to multiple links."
Placing security and analyzer solutions in each segment of the network is time consuming and expensive. Often, security and network managers must make compromises, leaving portions of the network vulnerable. The results can be catastrophic since missed attacks and intrusions can cause millions of dollars in damages to an organization.
Net Optics Gigabit Link Aggregator addresses these challenges by extending the coverage of the security devices already installed. Models with 10/100BaseT network connections feature Net Optics breakthrough Zero Delay(TM) technology, ensuring that absolutely no packets are dropped if the Gigabit Link Aggregator loses power. Both the 10/100BaseT and 10/100/1000BaseT models connect in-line, offering full-duplex monitoring, including Layer 1 and Layer 2 errors. The SPAN port models are designed for all types of spanned traffic, including spanned VLANs.
