Key Features
- High-Density Aggregation
▫️Collect and aggregate traffic from multiple 1G/10G/25G/40G/100G links.
▫️Consolidate data from TAPs, SPANs, and inline devices. - Advanced Filtering
▫️L2–L4 filtering (VLAN, IP, port, protocol).
▫️Application-aware filtering for 3,000+ apps and protocols.
▫️Deduplication, packet slicing, and header stripping. - Traffic Distribution
▫️Load-balancing across multiple monitoring tools.
▫️Replication for parallel delivery to security and observability stacks. - Scalability & Modularity
▫️X2: optimized for medium-to-large enterprises and data centers.
▫️X3: carrier-grade platform supporting massive traffic volumes. - Fail-Safe Architecture
▫️Non-blocking, low-latency design.
▫️Redundant power and management options. - Integration with Profitap Ecosystem
▫️Seamless with Profitap TAPs and IOTA appliances.
▫️Centralized control and orchestration with IOTA CM.
Benefits for the Client
- Eliminate blind spots – comprehensive visibility across physical and virtual links.
- Optimize tool usage – deliver only relevant traffic, reducing tool overload.
- Future-proof scalability – from enterprise to carrier-grade environments.
- Lower costs – maximize ROI of monitoring and security tools.
- Flexible deployment – inline or out-of-band, data center or backbone.
Why Profitap is Different ?
- All-in-one ecosystem – TAPs, NPBs, and IOTA unified.
- Application-aware intelligence – filtering beyond L2/L3, up to application level.
- High-speed readiness – supports 100G links and scalable to multi-terabit fabrics.
- Compact design – high density in smaller footprints (X2).
- Trusted reliability – deployed in enterprise, finance, and service provider networks.
Typical Use Cases
- Aggregate multiple TAP and SPAN outputs into a single monitoring stream.
- Distribute relevant subsets of traffic to IDS, IPS, and SIEM tools.
- Balance load across multiple NDR or performance monitoring appliances.
- Filter application traffic for compliance, lawful intercept, or SLA monitoring.
- Scale visibility from enterprise data centers (X2) to carrier backbones (X3).
Services & Support (What We Offer)
- Visibility Assessment – design TAP + NPB architectures for full coverage.
- Deployment Services – implement X2/X3 in data centers or backbone networks.
- Integration Workshops – connect NPB flows to SIEM, NDR, and APM tools.
- Optimization Services – configure filtering rules, load-balancing, and deduplication.
