Keysight Technologies today announced the launch of next-generation bypass switch iBypass DUO. As a leading technology company, Keysight Technologies helps companies, service providers, and governments accelerate innovation and create a secure, connected world. The iBypass DUO provides two management ports and can support 10G and 1G rates, allowing the network security team to switch the online status of the tandem security appliances in the network without disrupting the network or causing a single point of failure.
Today's enterprises face countless network problems, including increasing multi-protocol traffic at higher data rates, emerging security threats, and harsh regulatory environments. The detection and control of network traffic through the deployment of online security tools helps to block input threats, but these security tools also make the network operation and maintenance very complex and may cause hidden troubles. If an online tool becomes unavailable, the network link may be disconnected, which significantly affects the network uptime and disrupts the continuity of the service.
Kevin Formby, vice president of market development for Keysight’s Ixia Solutions Division, said: “With today’s increasingly complex networks, it is critical to have visibility into the monitoring and security of online deployments. Communication with key network elements is always maintained. Increasingly important, this is exactly why Ixia developed an innovative bypass switch and added two management ports to it."
In addition to providing two management ports and supporting 10G and 1G rates, iBypass DUO also offers users the following unique features:
- When an online tool loses power, it can initiate fault "open" or fault "close" - the flow will either continue to flow or terminate the flow depending on the situation
- Active and standby deployment is very convenient, in the case of each network port can correspond to two tool ports
- Like Ixia's more bypass switch portfolio, iBypass DUO offers the following advantages:
- Easy to configure tools and reduce errors with drag-and-drop GUI
- Supports active-active and active-standby configurations
- Pre-defined safety tool heartbeats ensure fast failover
Having an external independent architecture facilitates multiple deployments and eliminates architectural weaknesses in the built-in bypass switch
