A Network Tap is a passive device that provides a method to easily access the traffic on the network segment while maintaining network integrity; no need to break the link each time. Network performance will not be affected by power loss.
Network Taps allow you access to your network to get a copy of the data to all kinds of devices, packet analysers like Allegro Packets, or to to your network troubleshooting tools such as NetAlly EtherScope, or even if you need to get your IDS to exist in many places around the network by using multiple taps.
Why not use a SPAN port then? Well you can use a SPAN port but Network Taps offer the following advantages:
- Complete packet capture even when the link is at 100% utilisation
- Conserve SPAN ports and reduce switch performance degradation due to mirroring
- Gain complete visibility of all intact and error frames alike and even suspicious traffic
- Ensure network monitoring & recording tools receive all the required data
- Reduce costs as you no longer need to buy expensive monitoring tools for every important network segment
- Monitor 10G links with 1G tools
Another advantage to using Network Taps is that they come in all variants of media type (copper, fibre or a combination of both), connector type, connection speed and number of ports. DataCom Systems ensure you can access your data however you need to. Also, Datacom now include 12 months Standard Support with all products.
