Garland Technology

Teraquant is a SIP specialist offering cost effective communication infrastructure with advanced real-time network monitoring for VoIP and UC networks. We recommend Garland Tap and Filtering Aggregator products to keep your network running 24/7 and for monitoring real-time data without false errors under heavy traffic loads:

• Aggregators.
• Network TAPs.
• Bypass TAPs.

Packet capture using a TAP or SPAN is a critical initial step required to capture raw packet information vital for troubleshooting and achieve complete visibility across your network. Raw packet capture is essential to troubleshoot in contrast to tools that use only CDR [call detail records] which provide only summary information purely from the perspective of network elements such as the PBX. Garland Filtering Taps and Aggregators deliver 100% failsafe TAP solutions for your network monitoring, with hot-swap TAP modules for easy re-configuration and expansion to meet evolving network demands.

NETWORK TAPS

Discuss Your Requirements

Network TAPs are stand-alone devices that make a mirror copy of all of the traffic that flows between two network end-points (nodes). This can then be output to various network tools, while the live traffic continues to pass through the network. TAPs (test access points) are independent of the network, meaning that they are fully configurable. This allows complex packet manipulation to be performed by security and/or performance tools. TAPs are the foundation of “no dropped packet Network Access, maintaining total visibility across your security and monitoring platforms without compromise.

NETWORK PACKET BROKERS

• Ultimate Port Density.
• Scalable up to 192 ports for simple expansion.
• 1/10/25/40/100G flexible port mapping.
• Single pane of management with unique GUI software.

Is your cloud provider safe?

According to a Ponemon Institute report, the Global Cloud Data Security Study, companies are not doing a very good job of securing the confidential information stored in the cloud. Respondents included IT professionals from around the world. Over half believed that their companies did not employ a proactive approach to compliance with privacy and data security regulations in a cloud environment. Most of the respondents (56%) also believed that their companies were not as careful with private customer information stored in the cloud. Some general recommendations noted in the report are for companies to make broader use of encryption when data is stored in the cloud. Further, comprehensive policies should be developed that govern what information should and should not be stored in the cloud. Finally, continuous monitoring and security measures should be implemented by the company and the cloud service provider. Cloud providers are offering enterprise monitoring services in IaaS environments with a goal of allowing more management control to the client company. EarthLink, for example, offers a server monitoring and management service as well as a network monitoring and management service for cloud customers.

Comprehensive monitoring services require access and visibility to data flows in a network.

In order to establish a monitoring program that includes network analysis, application performance and acceleration, intrusion prevention, data loss protection, encryption/decryption offloading and other specialized services, numerous appliances may be required. Packet Brokers give access to the network traffic and help enterprise networks and cloud service providers manage the panoply of appliances that are required for robust monitoring.

Packet Brokers provide the physical access ports required for connections into monitoring appliances but that is only the beginning. Intelligent features like filtering and port mapping ensure that the right information is sent to the right appliance. Access ports are protected from unauthorized access and fail-over features help maintain network operation when appliances lose power or are out of service. Packet Brokers also allow safe removal of redundant data. Not all traffic that flows through a Network Packet Broker is useful – some data may be duplicated. To save time and processing power, duplicate packets and other redundant data can be removed before reaching monitoring and security tools. During this process it’s imperative that relevant original data isn’t accidentally dropped. Additionally, having a network TAP working alongside your Packet Broker provides the first layer of network visibility. So in 2017, The Rolling Stones might now be singing, “Hey! You! Get onto my cloud” – but only if they have good access traffic control implemented, as well as good security.
