Complementing our industry leading portfolio of packet capture cards and platforms, Endace now provides direct access to the broad array of passive network taps and switches within the Net Optics product range.

Net Optics is recognized, globally, for delivering superior passive physical-layer electrical and optical access for security, network management and monitoring applications. Together with the NinjaBox and NinjaProbe packet capture appliances, Endace can now supply a complete hardware solution for intrusion detection systems, protocol analyzers and network probes. Continuing our commitment to supplying and enabling monitoring tools that remain totally transparent to the underlying network infrastructure, Endace, along with the Net Optics product family, facilitates uninterrupted passive access and total visibility of transport data without introducing an active point of failure.

The comprehensive suite of Net Optics passive tap and switch solutions available from Endace include:

Network Taps

From 10Mbps to 10Gbps, Net Optics Taps provide in-line access to network link traffic for security, network management and more. Shipped with the appropriate network and monitoring cables, these Taps are simple plug-and-play solutions. Most models feature Net Optics’ Zero Delay™ technology - guaranteeing no packets are dropped during a power outage - along with redundant power supplies and passive fail-open link reliability.

iTap

iTap technology, unique to Net Optics, provides a new perspective on the role of the network tap. With iTap, network analysts now have access to link utilization information, traffic statistics and alarms via either a front panel display and comprehensive software management utilities. Most importantly, Net Optics System Manager and Web Manager software utilities enable remote configuration and alarm notification. Optional WiFi for wireless control and monitoring is also available.

Aggregator Taps

Net Optics Aggregator Taps provide ultra-efficient access to either a single link (Port Aggregators) or multiple links (Link Aggregators). Data from both sides of a network link are combined and the aggregated data is then copied to multiple monitoring ports. With Aggregator Taps deployed on all critical links, network operators and engineers can gain access to multiple full-duplex streams, reducing the need for multiple monitoring tools with varying interface types.

Bypass Switches

Bypass Switches provide fail-open access for in-line network security appliances and monitoring devices. In the event of an in-line device experiencing link, application or catastrophic power outage, an exclusive Net Optics Heartbeat feature immediately detects the failure and bypasses the device, thereby protecting against data loss or service outage.
