As today’s enterprise networks continue to experience dramatic growth in traffic volumes and the number of applications and services flowing across them, IT organizations continue to struggle targeting the right traffic flows for monitoring purposes. Consequently, monitoring today’s dynamic networks remains challenging as IT organizations deploy a wide range of monitoring systems for management and security requirements.
nGenius 1500 series packet flow switch is a cost-effective network monitoring switch that improves the control and distribution of IP traffic being fed into the nGenius InfiniStream appliance and other monitoring devices. The nGenius switch enables fine-grained control of captured network traffic to achieve targeted visibility into business applications and unified communication services to understand the user experience, for a more unified approach to service delivery management.
Architected for high-performance, low-latency networks, the nGenius 1500 series packet flow switch aggregates and distributes network traffic and intelligently filters, replicates and load-balances the traffic to deliver targeted flows to a diverse range of monitoring, measurement and security tools. This powerful aggregation and flexible intelligent filtering capabilities enable the network team to collect traffic from a single monitoring point and deliver this traffic to many devices eliminating the need for redundant tapping points or mirror/SPAN ports. Additionally, monitored traffic can be optimized and highly conditioned to improve end-device performance by delivering only the needed data from a particular packet-flow or user session. This enables the IT organization to efficiently consolidate scarce and costly monitoring points and intelligently share valuable traffic flows across multiple management and CyberSecurity tools consistently.
