In today’s environment with significant investment in security and monitoring tools, Garland Technology recognizes the need for a cost-effective solution that allows the flexibility and speed that is required for the networks of the future. Garland Technology provides the advantages of full-featured Network Packet Brokers (NPB) at a significantly less cost. We take the approach of providing solutions that are flexible and scalable for future on-demand growth with excellent ROI. Allowing you to deploy what you need, when you need it.
Garland Technology’s AA100G32AC and AA100G32DC is a Network Packet Broker designed for use in datacenter applications. The system can be used to optimize port utilization of existing infrastructure or as a standalone device in L2-L4 Filtering applications. It is ideal in networks with speeds of 100G.
The ports do not have MACs and cannot be assigned IP Addresses. The AA100G32AC does not use an ARP table or a Routing table to forward packets. Packets are forwarded from an Ingress port to an Egress port by mapping a path between the Ingress and Egress ports.
There are no additional per-port license fees and it is compatible with MSA compliant SFP+/ QSFP+ pluggables/transceivers.
