Managing & Optimizing Data Flow

Transform network management and empower security tools

Precise data acquisition is paramount for robust performance analysis and stringent cybersecurity measures. However, large amounts of unfiltered traffic can quickly overwhelm security and analysis tools. By optimizing network traffic before sending it to security and NPM/APM appliances, organizations can ensure accuracy and efficiency in threat detection and network and application performance monitoring.

Profitap Data Flow Management and Optimization Solutions empower you to manage and fine-tune the traffic flow that powers your performance optimization and cybersecurity operations.

Network Packet Brokers: The ultimate tool for effective data management

profitap-npb-diagram-isometric

Network Packet Brokers (NPBs) play a central role in your resource optimization and security posture enhancement. They filter and manage the traffic flow from physical and virtual network TAPs, giving you complete control over the data stream. You can apply advanced filters to optimize bandwidth usage on the network and reduce the load on connected tools, increasing their performance.

Our NPB solutions are a crucial traffic optimization solution:

Optimize Traffic

NPBs filter out unnecessary or redundant packets to ensure that only relevant data is sent to monitoring or security systems. This reduces data overload and enables more efficient analysis, helping organizations detect issues faster and with greater precision.

Distribute Traffic

Ensure the right data reaches the right tool, ensuring efficient use of monitoring resources. Intelligent traffic distribution helps maximize the efficiency and accuracy of network operations, such as performance monitoring, intrusion detection, or network forensics.

Anonymize Traffic

Mask sensitive data in captured packets for privacy and compliance. In sensitive environments, ensuring the confidentiality of network traffic is paramount. NPBs can anonymize captured data by masking or removing sensitive information such as bank account numbers, credit card details, or user credentials. This feature is critical for meeting privacy regulations such as GDPR and HIPAA, as it allows organizations to monitor their networks without exposing sensitive data to unauthorized parties.

Supervisor Overview

Profitap Supervisor’s web-based interface provides access to all of the centralized management functions in a clear and intuitive way.

This web-based interface allows easy access from any OS or platform.

Traffic Management

Define traffic rules on an interconnected fleet of XX-Series and X2-Series packet brokers. Traffic rules can be used to forward, aggregate and replicate traffic from different devices. Supervisor will automatically generate and deploy the necessary device configuration to achieve the desired results.

Traffic Statistics

Display and monitor traffic statistics for connected devices and groups of devices. Devices and groups can be easily added or removed from this view so you can focus on the statistics you need at any given time.

Firmware Update

Update the firmware of multiple devices in a single operation. Simply select the devices to update, select the firmware file, and Supervisor will handle the update of all selected devices.

Device Monitoring

Display and manage devices connected to Supervisor. This view provides general information about connected devices. You can select any device for additional information. You can also add or remove devices, and organize them into groups.

Event Monitoring

View all of the events detected by Supervisor. The list of events can be filtered by time range, event type, and message. You can click events involving a rule set to quickly navigate to the device and rule set involved.
