Prevent Port Oversubscription and Data Overload

The SINGLEstream™ Aggregation Tap w/ Filtering gives you the power to apply port level packet filtering to your data, so you can easily ensure your network and security tools only receive traffic of interest. Line-rate filtering provides you the ability to eliminate unwanted traffic from your analysis tools or security sensors. With less data to work with, network devices run faster and more effectively. While filtering can eliminate the possibility of port oversubscription, providing an effective solution, especially for software-based monitoring systems.

Eliminate Bottlenecks - Load Balance your Network and your Network Tools

Using the built-in technologies of link aggregation, regeneration, and filtering, you can quickly and easily load balance both your network and your network tools and eliminate bottlenecks. Aggregation lets you load balance your network with confidence. The Filtered SINGLEstream will combine one or more full duplex streams of data from one or more network segments, reassemble the conversation, and send an exact copy to your connected monitoring device. Regeneration allows you to attach more than one device to a single network segment. Connect an analyzer and a security sensor to the same link, and you can troubleshoot your network without having to disconnect your IDS. Add filtering, and you can send only the data you want to each tool, improving monitoring efficiency, speed, and network uptime

Fewer Tools to Manage - Save Time and Money

Aggregation lets you combine multiple network segments into one output of data, so you can use as little as one tool to monitor multiple networks. Central deployment saves time, while fewer tools saves money on deployment and ongoing maintenance and licensing costs.

Monitor Asymmetrically Routed Data with Ease

Aggregate and reassemble full duplex conversations from multi-trunked links, redundant networks, EtherChannel, load balanced servers, and asymmetrically routed traffic. Simultaneously monitor data at multiple points on the network with the same set of devices for a complete end-to-end view of your traffic

Empower your Legacy Network Devices

Don’t throw out your old tools - empower them! With proper uses of filtering, you can use a 10/100 tool to monitor a Gigabit network. Available in fiber and copper, the Filtered SINGLEstream™ Link Aggregation Tap can maximize the ROI of your existing network devices. With the Filtered SINGLEstream’s flexible “any to any” architecture, you can designate the port assignments to meet your specific needs. Any of the connected monitoring devices can see any of the connected network links. You can also quickly and easily change and customize port assignments on the fly with software, so there is no need to disconnect and reconnect any of the physical links if you want to assign a different tool to view a different network segment.
