Big Switch Networks, a network provider hyperscale data centers worldwide, has announced the availability of Big Tap Monitoring Fabric 4.5, a Next- Generation Network Packet Broker (NPB). Big Tap is a visibility fabric 1G / 10G / 40G modern network that takes advantage of software defined network (SDN) principles and high performance Dell ODM or open network switches to provide scalable data center-wide surveillance "ultra -Low cost. "
Big Tap 4.5 would bridge the functionality gap with traditional NPBS by providing features for monitoring the safety and pervasive visibility, including on-line / off-strip deployment, flow granularity, and advanced analytics
Big Tap 4.5 includes the following features:.
- online deployment mode, more out-of-band (activation DMZ deployment)
- chaining service with the online mode (allows multiple security tools to address in a chain, as specified by the policy defined by the user)
- generation sFlow (flow generation configured centrally on the fabric monitoring)
- increased visibility for security (monitoring DNS, monitoring DHCP)
- Header for stripping (MPLS support WAN monitoring service provider)
- setting for granular balancing configurable hash tool load (allows the elasticity of the tool)
"with the release of Big Tap 4.5, we add the ability to interact with other partner products, giving the end user complete monitoring and security capabilities they desire, while offering huge CapEx and OpEx reductions, "said Prashant Gandhi, vice president of management and product strategy at Big Switch . "With great value of open supply software RPS Big Tap, high performance Ethernet switches, customers can now fight against cyber threats ubiquitously while future proofing their infrastructure for monitoring the scale and programmability."
Big Tap 4.5 provides interoperability with several major product switching networks of partners to offer joint solutions:
- A10 - Big Tap 4.5 would allow administrators to easily deploy and manage A10 security tools for protection DDoS and SSL Insight in online mode at the DMZ
- Blue Coat -. common solution would provide full visibility into SSL encrypted traffic online, while enabling the analysis of outside traffic connection mode to detect malware
- Cyphort -. deep, the company's monitoring capabilities to the Big Tap scale with the software approach enables distributed Cyphort omnipresent threat detection.
- ExtraHop - Big Tap interoperates with ExtraHop products to achieve granular monitoring and scalable applications and deeper data analysis
- InMon -. The joint solution with InMon allows real-time visibility and ubiquitous in the stream in the production network.
Dell open network switches
Big Switch version 4.5 Networks also supports Dell Open network switches, including now S4048-oN, switch-based Broadcom Trident-II with 48x10G and 6x40G interfaces and Dell S00 - a 32x40G switch based Trident-II has already been supported in the previous version, including support for cable break-out. Customers can now build tissues 1G / 10G / 40G dense monitoring with britebox Dell switches (S4048 and S00) or with ODM whitebox Password Accton.
"The availability of monitoring the relatively mature network capabilities implemented through a deployment using open network switches NRS indeed represents a new approach in the category Packet Network Broker, "said Rohit Mehra, VP Network Infrastructure, IDC . "This latest version of Big Tap Monitoring Fabric is a key step for Big Switch, as the solution provides additional capabilities to offer innovative next generation packet broker."
