Both XtraTAP devices are ideal for troubleshooting and diagnostic travel kits as well as datacenter and remote locations. These TAPs are already in use with rapid deployment teams because of their flexibility to access data in any environment and easily set data filters or change functions to pinpoint specific data. Network teams are using XtraTAPs to filter the data their network and security tools need, reducing the traffic burden on the tool, and being able to utilize 1G tools, without the need to deploy a full packet broker solution.
The continuous release of new products reflects the ongoing momentum Garland Technology is delivering to their customers worldwide.
