Automate failover.
External bypass switches work with network packet brokers (NPBs) to create resilient security monitoring architecture. Configure alternative monitoring paths to ensure traffic inspection survives device outages.
Active-active NPB configurations provide concurrent processing with complete synchronicity and automatic failover. Each security tool receives a full set of traffic while throughput improves. And, if one packet broker goes down, the other takes over seamlessly—without dropping packets.
Achieve N+1 survivability.
Keysight’s Vision NPBs load balance traffic to ensure full-capacity processing of data during unplanned tool outages. NPBs automatically detect and resume normal workflows when tools come back online.
Maintain business continuity.
Intelligent network visibility with dedicated bypass switches equip IT and security to:
- Install new devices in minutes
- Replace inline equipment without disrupting live networks
- Maximize use of maintenance windows
- Bypass failed tools – resume normal traffic when they come back online
