New hypervisor-specific Tap is the first solution to address both physical and virtual tools - enabling total visibility of inter-VM traffic for unrivaled security, compliance and manageability.

The convergence of voice, data, and video, is driving organizations to depend more and more on multiple kinds of information flowing efficiently over high-speed networks. As data types proliferate, so do the types of monitoring tools needed to analyze the traffic and keep the network moving quickly and securely. The cost and complexity of your monitoring solution can explode as more kinds of tools need to be deployed across an ever-increasing number of critical links.

Network TAPs provide a "Test Access Port" for analyzing high-speed networks in half or full duplex mode. When operating high-speed, high-capacity, data communications systems it is often necessary to monitor and analyze traffic with an absolute minimum disturbance to the data stream. Network taps provide inexpensive, permanent access ports throughout the network, enabling monitoring and analysis without interrupting transmission.

Cyber warfare is unfortunately no longer found only in speculative fiction; it is with us today. Distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks have been launched against the United States, South Korea, Kyrgyzstan, Estonia, and Georgia in recent years, and military and government computer systems around the world are assaulted by intruders daily. Some attacks come from nation-states, but others are perpetrated by transnational and unaligned rogue groups.

Intrusion prevention systems (IPSs) protect your network from malware and unauthorized access. But is your IPS hurting your network´s reliability? IPSs are installed in-line in the network to intercept suspect traffic, but what happens if the IPS loses power or gets overwhelmed by too much traffic? The network goes down or slows down, negatively impacting employee productivity and business profitability.
