New Director 5400 Model and Advanced Load Balancing Functionality Provide a Comprehensive and Cost-Effective Solution for Complete Visibility on the Network
Net Optics Director features TapFlow ™ filtering technology and is the highest port-density monitoring access solution in the industry. Director specifically addresses the requirement for more efficient monitoring access by enabling a pool of tools to be deployed across a large number of network links, with remote, centralized control of exactly which traffic is directed to each tool.
The new Director 5400 fills out the product family by providing 34 1-Gigabit ports in a 1U chassis, plus two 10-Gigabit ports for daisy-chaining chassis to expand the system. Up to 10 Director 5400 and 7400 appliances can be daisy-chained to act as a single logical unit with as many as 380 ports. Moreover, SR, LR, and ER 10-Gbps daisy-chain links support a reach as far as 40 km or 25 miles, enabling an entire campus or metro area to be monitored by a single logical Director installation. The 10G ports can also be used for network or tool connections when they are not used for expansion.
Director’s load balancing feature enables network and security professionals to split network traffic into multiple streams so the data can be processed by two or more tools working in parallel. Director load balancing takes the traffic from any network port or aggregated set of network ports and distributes it to two to 10 monitor ports. The load can be balanced by IP address, port, protocol, VLAN, and MAC address, or any other packet header field. Network managers have the ability to use multiple IPS appliances, VoIP quality and billing systems, streaming video and forensic recorders without having to pay for other more expensive application monitoring solutions on the market.
