The 4248-6C is part of the FixedBroker product line, consisting of 1U high density, high performance, packet brokers with Open Visibility Platform enabled capabilities. The Open Visibility advanced capabilities enable to turn the NPB into an intelligent cross-connect with Network Intelligent applications such as de-duplication, Netflow/IPFIX generation, TLS decryption, and more.
The 4248-6C includes up to 48 ports of 10/25Gb1, plus another six ports of 40/100Gb. All ports connect to a non-blocking switching fabric, ensuring that all combinations of ports are supported at full line rate, with no oversubscription, and with full-switching, line-rate connectivity from any port to any port.
The 4248-6C is a fully-featured packet broker that is capable of not only aggregation, but replication, sophisticated filtering, load balancing, tunneling supports, and more.
The 4248-6C includes Niagara Network's FabricFlow technology which is at the core of the system's exhaustive packet broker functionality, responsible for the mapping of traffic flow relationships between source and destination ports.
Open Visibility Platfrom Enabled
Open Visibility Platform (OVP) technology enables the user to combine advanced network intelligence applications and other 3rd parties virtual machine-based applications2 seamlessly integrated with the packer broker functionality.
Advanced network intelligence applications2 include such applications as de-duplication, TLS decryption, 4G/5G mobile visibility, and more. Open Visibility Platform is achieved by up to two Packetron processing2 modules (up to 200Gb processing) in the rear of the device so that that critical front panel real-estate is not sacrificed.
Common Use Cases
- Niagara Networks FabricFlowTM technology for efficient aggregation, replication, filtering and load balancing of traffic.
- Incoming packets are intelligently organized and delivered to specific monitoring tools based on their analysis requirements.
- Protect network from security attacks by sending traffic to inline tools like a firewall (using virtual segment configuration) and also send a copy to monitoring tools for performance analysis.
- Unique Open Visibility Achitecture to enable deep packet intelligence and agility to host 3rd party virtual cybersecurity and monitoring applications.
- Advanced Network Intelligence and 3rd party virtual applications hosting.
- Integrated Packetron modules offer a wide selection of Network Intelligence applications, including Deduplication, Data masking, Application Filtering, RegEx filtering, NetFlow/IPFIX generation 4G/5G mobile visibility, and more.
