Network and Security Unit Manager at Bankalararası Kart Merkezi (BKM)

Efficient, reliable, and easy to set up

We're a customer and end-user. I'm not sure which version of the solution we're using. We needed to buy Package Broker. It was a requirement for us. If you want to use a security chain on your internet, you have to use something like Package Broker. We decided on a benchmark and then had a look around, and then we decided to get Ixia Packet Broker in the end. I'd recommend the solution to others. Overall, I would rate the solution ten out of ten as we have been very satisfied with the capabilities on offer.

IT360

Overview

Network packet brokers (NPBs) filter traffic to send only the right data to the right tool. Packets are aggregated and filtered from Layer 2 through to the application layer. Duplicate packets can also be removed and sensitive content stripped before the data is sent to the monitoring tools if that is required. This provides a better solution to improve the efficiency and utility of your monitoring tools.

Aggregates monitored traffic from multiple links and segments
Deep packet inspection and filtering grooms traffic to relieve overburdened monitoring tools
Extended burst protection, available with the Advanced Feature Module, offers traffic management, and protection to online businesses subject to bursts of activity
