Bring new life to old tools!

The DAN or Data Access Network is a newly emerging "best practice" for passive monitoring of mission critical networks that solves real access problems, improves network performance and uptime, and saves capital, operation and maintenance costs. A DAN is a combination of out-of-band data access switching plus passive monitoring instrumentation to enable required security, compliance, forensics review, application performance, VoIP QoS, uptime and other network management tasks. Data is acquired from multiple SPAN ports or taps and multicast to multiple tools, aggregated to a few consolidated tools, and filtered or divided across many instances of the same tools. This Podcast recommends the DAN as a solution to those who suffer real problems like too many tools and not enough span ports, too many links to monitor and not enough money to deploy distributed tools, or too much traffic that threatens to overflow even the highest capacity tool.

Summary of Product Features:

• Remotely Managed Connectivity - Supporting up to 20 input or tool ports (10/100/1000 UTP or GigE fiber) for bidirectional links or "out-of-band" network monitoring, analysis or security surveillance tools.
  
• Any to Any (Direct traffic from any link to any tool; can merge Tx/Rx into a single tool interface)
  
• Many to One (Deliver "Network View" and aggregate traffic from multiple links into one tool)
  
• One to Many (Multicast copies of singular or aggregated traffic stream to multiple tools)
  
• Packet Level Filtering - Dynamic bit-mask filtering to remove non-relevant traffic in order to reduce processing overhead on attached tools and to enable bandwidth-efficient multi-link aggregation.
  
• Backflow Support - Can safely insert TCP Reset packets, SNMP commands or test traffic initiated by attached tools into traffic stream without collisions.
  
• Fault Tolerant Design - Production links protected at all time (for copper, relay closes if power fails; for fiber, optical switch remains connection)
  
• Modularized Design - Install once, and never have to touch any links again; can add, remove, migrate or reconfigure tools at-will without impacting network.
  
• GigaVUE-MP reduces Total-Cost-of-Ownership
  
• GigaVUE-MP improves network operations
  
• GigaVUE-MP allows "Pay as-you-Grow" - A "tool farm" can easily be created by "stacking" up to 16 boxes to access up to 320 links or tools.
  
• GigaVUE-MP is "Future Proof" - Support migration to in-line tools; can reassign input ports to support more tools and vice versa.
