Interface Masters Announces Industry-First High Port Density 40G PacketMaster For Networkx Monitoring

The Niagara 4330-8X system, which currently holds the highest 40G port density in the Network Monitoring Switch market today, is built with 30 ports of 40-Gigabit Fiber (QSFP) and 8 ports of 10-Gigabit Fiber (SFP+, SFP) and complements the PacketMaster family, enabling filtering, mirroring, sophisticated session-based traffic distribution and aggregation. The combination of 40Gb and 10Gb ports enables datacenters, telcos and MSOs smoother transition to 40Gb networks while preserving existing 10Gb or 1Gb monitoring tools such as IPS, IDS, Wan Acceleration Systems, DPI systems and Data Loss Prevention among others. Niagara 4330-8X possesses a full-featured software suite that can be managed remotely and a sophisticated WEB GUI to enable easy and full control, intuitive “point and click” and “drag and drop” port and filter configuration and statistics retrieval.



“As networks continue expanding to 40Gb speeds, Interface Masters continues to release innovative PacketMaster products such as Niagara 4330-8X to ensure that 10 Gigabit and 1 Gigabit legacy monitoring tools are able to monitor 40G network streams in order to preserve existing monitoring infrastructure in a cost effective manner,” states Ben Askarinam, founder and CEO of Interface Masters. “With the highest 40Gb port density in the network monitoring switch market, the 40Gb PacketMaster, Niagara 4330-8X, will enable enterprises and datacenters to make the leap to 40G network speeds cost effectively, responsibly and securely.”
