The Protector series of Inline Tool Load Balancers are intelligent, hardware-based traffic redirection devices designed to actively tap inline networks for forwarding to inline monitoring or security tools.
Active Load Balancers are fundamental tools necessary for delivering complete total, network-wide visibility for inline network security and monitoring tools. Using these devices as part of a Distributed Traffic Capture System offers users Network Intelligence Optimization layer with a centralized view of the network. They provide intelligent traffic processing including packet and flow level control of what each monitor tool receives.
Protector provides a never before seen level of security, availability, and redundancy when deploying inline monitoring tools, as well as the flexibility of aggregation, speed conversion, load balancing, grooming, and powered-down state (using PowerSafe™).
The active inline tool load balancers allow for 10M to 10 GigE network traffic redirection, traffic capture, active inline monitoring, and passive monitoring. When used for active inline monitoring, tool Bypass is also available. These hybrid devices offer maximum deployment flexibility.
