Network bypass switch provides dual management ports
Today’s organizations face a myriad of network concerns including the increasing volume of multiprotocol traffic at higher data rates, mounting security threats, and a strict regulatory environment. Deploying inline security tools to inspect and control network traffic helps block incoming threats, but the same inline tools can complicate network operations and create potential points of failure. If an inline tool becomes unavailable, it can bring down the network link, significantly compromising network uptime and disrupting business continuity.
The bypass switch gives users the ability to fail “open” or fail “close” on the lack of power – so traffic either continues or fails to flow as the situation requires. It supports easy active-standby deployments with two tool ports for every network port. The iBypass DUO leverages a drag-and drop GUI to make it easy to configure tools and reduce errors, it comes with pre-defined security tool heartbeats, ensuring a rapid failover.
