vAssure is VSS Monitoring's proprietary technology for tapping Gigabit copper links so that the failover/switchover of the network connection from a tapped state to a directly-connected state (in the event of TAP power-on, power-off or link state change) registers under 100ms (typically 30-60ms). This feature is critical to the continuous operation of outage-sensitive networks. Without vAssure, the normal time to re-establish a link (in standard auto-negotiation mode) is between 1-3 seconds, where anything over 200ms will cause the link to drop.
