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 AA10G54AC and AA10G54DC is a Network Packet Broker designed for use in top-of-rack applications or at the network edge. 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 1G/10G and can load balance multiple links to a 40G connected out-of-band monitoring tool or existing packet broker.
The ports do not have MACs and cannot be assigned IP Addresses. The AA10G54AC 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.
