DNS - Net Optics Releases New Director Pro Fabric Access Switch and Gig Zero Delay Tap

Net Optics, a dealer in intelligent network access solutions, has released its new Director Pro Fabric Access Switch and Gig Zero Delay Tap that can be deployed to optimize network security and monitoring infrastructure.

According to Net Optics (News - Alert), the Director Pro network access solution provides pre-filtering of data using deep packet inspection of network traffic to optimize the performance of security and monitoring tools. The Gig Zero Delay Tap is 10/100/1000BaseT Tap with true zero-delay operation of monitoring access platform. The Gig Zero Delay Tap incorporates zero delay technology for maximum network reliability. During a power outage, its unique circuitry preserves the state of each network port ensuring network links to remain fully functional.

These new products will ensure 100 percent network visibility to improve network and application performance and at the same time reduce business risks and increase IT revenue.

The company has added that Director Pro’s DPI capabilities can be leveraged as part of an overall security strategy, pre-screening and pre-filtering traffic to make network Intrusion (News - Alert) Prevention Systems, Data Loss Prevention, Activity Monitoring and Web Security Gateways more efficient. Director specifically addresses the need 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 Director Pro supports both 1G and 10G network links on the same platform, and is capable of monitoring and providing in-line access to the network on all ports. Customers can leverage Director Pro to defer investment in costly 10G monitoring tools by streamlining the monitoring of 10G links using existing 1G tool.

Ilan Matsliah, manager of the security and networking department at Migdal Insurance Company has stated that direct access to 100 percent of network traffic is critical to an overall security infrastructure, both for proactive threat management and ongoing business continuity and compliance. With their Director family of products, Net Optics has continually evolved the feature set to deliver more granularities into network traffic at increasingly higher speeds, thereby maximizing the efficiency and effectiveness of their network performance and security monitoring tools.

Sharon Besser (News - Alert), vice president of technologies at Net Optics has opinioned that by consolidating the monitoring and security architecture within the data center, Net Optics helps customers reduce energy cost, rack space requirements, power consumption, and reduce Tap port sprawl while maintaining data center design flexibility and streamlining data operations costs. For their reseller and OEM partners, they continue to deliver network access solutions that meet current and emerging customer pain points for network performance and security monitoring.
