Data Access Switch Add-On eliminates need for external taps.
September 19, 2008 -
Available as accessory for GigaVUEŽ 420 Data Access Switch, 10GigaTAP optimizes network monitoring resources and data integrity. When installed at back of switch, unit splits and copies inbound and outbound optical data streams, then forwards replicant data to network monitoring tools at 1 or 10 Gbps. Device comes in SR-LC/Multimode for short reaches of 850 nm cables, LR-LC/Singlemode for long reaches of 1,310 nm, and ER-LC/Singlemode for extra-long reaches using 1,550 nm.

Gigamon 10GigaTAP Eliminates Need for External Taps In Network Monitoring Systems
Accessory for GigaVUE(R) 420 Data Access Switch Optimizes Network Monitoring Resources, Ensures Data Integrity; Three Varieties Available for Different Optical Specs
MILPITAS, Calif., Sept. 11 /- Gigamon, a leading provider of intelligent data access networking products, today announced its 10GigaTAP, an add-on for the company's industry standard GigaVUE(R) 420 Data Access Switch. The 10GigaTAP saves money, improves reliability, and reduces the network monitoring footprint by eliminating the need for an external data tap in 10GigE data networks. The 10GigaTAP, exhibited by Gigamon at the ISACA Network Security | Information Security Management Conference in Las Vegas and Interop NY on September 17th and 18th provides extra savings by eliminating the need for additional rack space, cable runs, and provides the TAP function effectively at no additional cost.
The Gigamon 10GigaTAP optimizes network monitoring resources and data integrity. When installed at the back of a GigaVUE 420, the 10GigaTAP splits and copies inbound and outbound optical data streams, then forwards the replicant data to network monitoring tools at 1 or 10 Gbps. Users access network traffic efficiently in one-to-many, many-to-many, or many-to-one configurations to allow sharing of the TAP by many tools.
"The 10GigaTAP saves time, money and complexity-three of the most critical factors for any network engineer," said Patrick Leong, Gigamon's chief technical officer. "Unless external taps are already in place, it's counter-productive to take up physical resources by purchasing and installing them separately from the data access switch. The 10GigaTAP simplifies the situation-a small, efficient add-on that delivers all the functionality of an external tap without additional cabling, rack space or cost."
Gigamon's 10GigaTAP is available in three varieties to accommodate any fiber optic installation: SR-LC/Multimode, for Short Reaches of 850 nanometer-wavelength cables; LR-LC/Singlemode, for Long Reaches of 1310 nanometers; and ER-LC/Singlemode, for Extra-Long Reaches using 1550 nanometers.
When installed in the GigaVUE 420, two Gigamon 10GigaTAP fault-tolerant devices takes data from redundant core links, and the GigaVUE-420 ensures that only appropriate and optimized data reaches the intended monitoring tool. The add-ons balance data flows to ensure reliable performance from multiple intrusion detection systems, data recorders, VoIP analyzers and other network monitoring devices.
During Interop New York, September 17 and 18, Gigamon is showcasing the GigaVUE 420 with 10GigaTAP from its exhibit, Booth 946 at the Javits Center. For more information, visit the Gigamon http://www.gigamon.com/.
