Booster In-Line: This Network Packet Broker optimizer is our signature solution that improves the density of your monitor system for a significantly lower cost. This Gigabit Copper Aggregation TAP was specially designed by our team of experts to improve your monitoring tools’ port efficiency. It does that by connecting 4 in-line links (8 network ports) to 1 monitoring port. All Network TAPs provide monitoring devices with traffic as if they were in-line, allowing them to view all 7 layers, including packets of all sizes and types, as well as low-level errors. The Booster transmits traffic from up to 4 In-Line links (8 ports) into a single NPB port as opposed to the typically required 8. By optimizing the number of ports used on your Network Packet Broker, the Booster allows for unprecedented savings and outstanding return on investment. The Booster also enables a significant reduction in occupied rack space. Booster SPAN: This type of device transmits traffic from up to 8 SPAN ports into a single NPB port, allowing for unprecedented savings and outstanding return on investment. A rack-mountable SPAN model, the Booster SPAN is another TAP device designed by our team of highly-skilled engineers. Its sole purpose is to improve your monitoring systems and tools. This Aggregation TAP does that by connecting many network ports to one monitoring port, being extremely useful when your monitoring tool has a limited number of ports. All our Copper TAPs perform smoothly at distances of over 100 meters and have front LEDs that display the presence of redundant power, network and monitor link activity. By optimizing the number of ports used on your Network Packet Broker, the Booster allows for unprecedented savings and outstanding return on investment. The Booster also enables a significant reduction in occupied rack space.
