Datacom Systems VS series Multi-Link Attributes & Advantages, SINGLEstream SS-200 Series Overview

8 Datacom Systems Inc

Attributes & Advantages

•Connect any device (protocol analyzers, probes, intrusion detection system, more) for permanent simultaneous monitoring of multiple full-duplex links — eliminates the need for network connectors to be disconnected and connected each time a seg- ment needs to be monitored.

•Multipoint analysis enables you to seamlessly analyze a packet at multiple points in your network with one tool - know exactly what is happening to data as it moves through your network.

•View all the data from multiple network segments - allows you to monitor and ana- lyze traffic from asymmetric routing paths, load-balanced applications, and redun- dant environments.

•Two monitor ports (additional-port models available) allow two devices to simulta- neously monitor the same links, providing extended security and analysis options, while eliminating contention for network access.

•Simple plug-and-play solution -requires no additional configuration or configuration of external monitoring devices.

•Save money on recurring licensing fees and maximize your ROI by deploying fewer network devices.

•Redundant power supply insures seamless monitoring even if the main power source is unavailable.

•Easy to install and 1 U" space saving design.

•Free Technical Support throughout the lifetime of the product.

•2-year limited manufacturers warranty on hardware.

•Datacom Customer Service personnel are available Monday through Friday from 8:30 AM to 5:30 PM EST. Support is available via phone, fax, e-mail, or website.

SINGLEstream™ SS-200 Series Overview —

Datacom Systems' SINGLE stream™ series SPAN Aggregator/Regenerator provides a superior solution for 24x7 monitoring of full-duplex Ethernet links.

While traditional Ethernet taps might enable full-duplex monitoring of all traffic on a network link, they transmit the data to the monitoring device (e.g. analyzer, IDS, probe) in two separate half-duplex streams. Not only does this require the monitor- ing device to have two network interface cards (NIC), it also requires that the device be capable of combining and processing both streams of data in order to monitor both sides of the conversation. Not all monitoring devices have that capability.
