2) Choose from a wide selection of network I/O modules, Copper or Fiber Network TAP modules or Bypass modules to match your topology.
3) Add or swap modules when your needs change and as your network evolves.
Niagara packet processing technology includes dedicated hardware support for Layer 2 through Layer 4 filtering, load balancing and acceleration for network tunneling protocols. Our non-blocking architecture, extremely low latency, packet manipulation capability and highly granular statistics create the baseline for dynamic visibility and end-to-end transparency in your network.
All Niagara 2847 Network Packet Broker chassis support NOSE, Niagara’s advanced Network Visibility Operating System. NOSE provides powerful Layer 2-4 packet filtering functionality and load balancing for connected network tools. This combination of modular build-as-you-grow hardware and powerful, intuitive software provides the perfect Network Visibility platform to support:
- Enabling high reliability for inline network security appliances
