As network traffic continues on an exponential growth curve, service providers rely on a growing ecosystem of monitoring tools to effectively secure and manage their networks. But monitoring tools, like the networks they monitor, face significant scalability challenges that result in increased costs, higher operational complexity, and reduced productivity.

To manage escalating costs and enhance tool productivity, service providers need a scalable, programmable, and intelligent visibility infrastructure that can curate traffic in order to deliver relevant flows to each individual tool.

Extreme Physical Packet Brokers are NEBS Level 3-certified, highly scalable visibility nodes that aggregate, optimize, filter, and forward replicated traffic flows from the production network to network monitoring tools. They support API-based, dynamic programmability for real-time, on-demand traffic visibility and are ideally suited for the high-density monitoring requirements of the most demanding networks.

Physical Packet Brokers support a wide range of leading-edge interface modules for 1 GbE, 10 GbE, 40 GbE, and 100 GbE. These modules are available in multiple versions to meet different scalability requirements. This flexibility allows network operators to use a single platform, which they can optimize, for many deployment needs.
