  1. Challenges Facing IT Professionals • Flat Budgets: “More with Less” • Lack of Skilled Resources • Expansion, Mergers & Acquisitions • SLA’s and Uptime Requirements • Internal/External Security Threats

  2. Datacom Systems Solutions • Network TAPs • Resource Sharing Switches • Custom cables • VERSAlink™

  3. Distributed System(limited visibility) Agent/analyzer/probe Data center Agent/analyzer/probe Agent/analyzer/probe Major installations Closet NOC

  4. What is a Resource Sharing Switch? A Physical Layer device that provides 1- 4 Network Management Tools Access from 4 to 64 Segments

  5. Complete Network Visibility

  6. How Can Resource Sharing Switches Help? • Improve Return on Investment (ROI) of Tools • Increase Network Visibility • Improve Remote Troubleshooting Capabilities • Increase Productivity • Scalable to Meet the Future • Open Architecture

  7. Gigabit In-Line ROI Coverage needed for 8 Gigabit Segments • Dedicated Network Tool: • 8 Network Tools @ $25K each $25K x 8 = $200K VS. • 1 Network Tool and an 8 Channel Resource Sharing Switch: • 1 Network Tool and 1 DSI 1x8 Gigabit Switch $25K + $22K = $47K $47K / 8 segments = $5,875 per network segment Savings = 77% or $153K

  8. Maximizing ROI • Reduce Equipment Expenditures • Save over 75% on network analysis tools while maintaining coverage • Reduce Operating Costs • Save 85% on annual maintenance costs • Increase Network Reliability • Greater coverage increases uptime

  9. Ease of hookup • COM port Analyzer to Control • Monitor card to common • DSI switch out to up to 64 segments

  10. DATACOM SystemFeatures PERMAlink “Once in Never out” 100% passive & Totally fault tolerant In- line tap SIGNALdetect Signal strength & direction easily verified for install (no light meters) SHAREview 2 Network Devices for roving or switching 16 24X7 full time access points 2 devices per link (IDS & or Probes)

  11. Flexible Upgradeable & Fail Safe!!

  12. CUSTOMlink™ • Customize Multimode and Single Mode Links in the Same Chassis • Use One Device to Analyze Both SM & MM • Multimode Output to Network Tools • Available in 4X8SY, 4X8SP+4SY and 4X16SP Models

  13. SHAREview™ • View Up to 4 Network Tools on the Same Link Simultaneously (in line only) • Connect Analyzers, IDS, and Probes to the same link • Eliminate Contention for Tap Ports

  14. Daisy-Chainable • Grows with Your Network Needs • Connect up to 4 Switches Together • Expandable up to 64 Channels • Four 2X16 10/100MB switches daisy-chained together = 2 x 64

  15. Datacom Switch Families

  16. Two Methods of Analysis In-line • Complete 7 Layer OSI Stack • Layer 1-2 Errors such as Runts, Fragments, & CRC Errors • VLAN “Tags” • Auto Negotiation Errors SPAN • Layer 3–7 • Internal Switch Conversations • Possible over subscription of port = lost packets In-line vs. SPAN

  17. VERSAlink™Application Switched Network Tools Dedicated 24X7 Network Tools

  18. Gigabit SPAN Application

  19. Gigabit In-Line Application

  20. 10/100MB SPAN Application

  21. T1/E1 Application

  22. RS/V WAN Application

  23. 100MB Full-Duplex In-Line Application
