NetAlly NETSCOUT 5010 16x 1/10G SFP+ Ethernet Switch with AC Power Supply

The NetAlly NETSCOUT nGenius 5000 Series Packet Flow Switches (PFS) are dense, 1G to 100G models designed for dense 1 GbE to 100 GbE deployments and bridge the gaps between 1 GbE, 10 GbE, 25 GbE, 40 GbE and 100 GbE networks and tools.

Providing a lot of interfaces into a compact form factor, the nGenius 5000 Series Packet Flow Switches support core network packet broker features including filtering, load balancing, replication and aggregation. With an expansive feature set, the nGenius 5000 Series Packet Flow Switches are capable of managing a monitoring network independently. Connect the HD Fiber TAPs and any number of tools, including NETSCOUT's Service Assurance and Security Assurance products, to a nGenius 5000 Series Packet Flow Switch and easily manage a diverse and complex monitoring network.

Flow-aware load balancing enables intelligent control of traffic distribution to the monitoring tools, increasing output capacity while maintaining session integrity. The PFS 5000 series can load balance among tools of different processing capacities (e.g., 10GbE tools and 40GbE tools) by assigning weights to each tool port to achieve weighted load balancing. Flow-aware load balancing can operate in tandem with hardware-based filtering or independently.
