Challenge
It is classic Murphy’s Law.
Right when you have a problem and need to troubleshoot, you realize there are no TAPs or SPAN ports available to attach diagnostic tools. When time is of the essence, you are faced with making the call on which tool you can remove from its TAP or SPAN port without creating an unacceptable gap in your monitoring coverage.
What if you could remove the guesswork and multicast traffic from your SPAN ports or TAPs to multiple monitoring tools?
Solutions
With the Anue Net Tool OptimizerTM (NTO), you can eliminate SPAN port and TAP shortages without compromising network visibility. You can replicate network traffic from a single tap or SPAN port and send it to multiple monitoring tools simultaneously with no negative impact to network performance or tool visibilty.
With this capability, you can quickly connect diagnostic troubleshooting products without having to disconnect other monitoring tools from the network.
The solution is easy. Traffic from your TAPs and SPAN ports is routed directly to the Net Tool Optimizer, where its intuitive, drag-and-drop interface allows you to port traffic to the right monitoring tool in real time. Traffic from a single network port can be replicated to all other NTO tool ports to distribute that traffic to the necessary monitoring tools.
