Aggregating data from multiple visibility points in the network, the 5288 ensures delivery of critical network traffic to the appropriate monitoring tools. By enhancing the performance of these network and security monitoring tools, companies improve network performance, increase operation team productivity and reduce the risk of network outages. Now dynamic data centers can keep pace with the exploding data and traffic on the network; the NTO 5288 equips them to cope with the pressures of providing high availability and security while optimizing the value of current tools. The Ixia NTO 5288:  Protects investments in deployed 40G, 10G and 1G monitoring toolsMonitors virtual and private cloud infrastructures at full line rateReduces downtime and troubleshooting effortsAs advances in virtualization and server technologies make 10GE increasingly pervasive in large enterprise data centers, the transition to 40GE and 100GE is not far behind. The Net Tool Optimizer® (NTO) 5288 provides up to 64 10GE ports, 16 40GE ports, or 4 100GE ports in a compact 2U form factor. The NTO 5288 is designed for high availability with redundant management ports, power supplies and fan trays. It’s an ideal solution for enterprise data centers with increased bandwidth requirements due to higher processor density, virtualization and SAN Datasheet: Ixia 5288 Net Tool Optimizer Advancements in virtualization and server technologies have made 10GE commonplace in large enterprise data centers, and the transition to 100GE or 40GE is not far behind. The Anue Net Tool Optimizer® (NTO) 5288 provides up to 64 10GE ports, 16 40GE ports, or 4 100GE ports in a compact 2U form factor. The Anue NTO 5288 aggregates data from multiple visibility points in a network and ensures the delivery of critical network traffic to the essential monitoring tools.
Black Book: Network Security This book provides an overview of network security and covers test methodologies that can be used to assess the effectiveness and performance impact of IPS/IDS, UTMs, and new generation firewalls while they are attacked using threats that include DoS/DDoS, exploits based on known vulnerabilities, and malware.
