Product description
Aster A-648e Microtel’s packet brokers for 1/10/25/40/100 Gb/s links, providing the capability to filter and aggregate network traffic with a single tool, no matter if 1 Gb/s or 10 Gb/s interfaces are used, and to load balance towards the monitoring tools at different speeds.
Microtel Packet Brokers make monitoring and security tools more effective, by giving them access to a range of data from across the entire network.
Blind spots are reduced, giving tools the visibility they need to identify and tackle performance and security threads.

Highlights
- Reduce CAPEX as you may use fewer monitoring tools by aggregating the traffic coming from multiple TAPs or SPAN ports
- Feed the monitoring tools with the right data, by filtering the network traffic up to L4 or using UDB filtering capabilities
- Enable service operators to keep using their 1 Gb/s monitoring tools by adapting the speed of 100 Gb/s data links
