Technology Alliance Partnership (TAP)

Partnerships aligning innovation and reliability in data capture infrastructure with solutions for networking monitoring, security, and performance analysis

Effective network monitoring, security, and performance analysis relies on two essential elements.  First, network traffic has to be copied and efficiently presented to analysis tools such as security probes and networking monitoring platforms.  This copied information often must be aggregated, regenerated, and filtered in order for network analysis tools to operate efficiently and cost-effectively.  Datacom Systems provides the most comprehensive suite of products to perform these functions.

The second essential element is the analysis tool which may be performing a variety of tasks—everything from network security to compliance to application performance.  This second element may actually be a suite of tools.  Both the first element, data capture infrastructure, and the second element, analysis tools, can be deployed independently.  Both elements are agnostic to each other.  However, some complex deployments call for a coordinated implementation of the infrastructure that will copy and process the traffic as well as the tools that will analyze the traffic.

In service of deployments that require a coordinated engagement, Datacom Systems has formed the Technology Alliance Partnership.  This partnership pairs Datacom Systems with leading companies who focus on specific solutions in network monitoring.  Working on applications with these partners, Datacom Systems has gained unique insight into solving network monitoring challenges.  The experience gained in these partnerships can be leveraged to benefit new customers with similar challenges.

JDSU offers instruments, systems, software, services, and integrated solutions that help communications services providers, equipment manufacturers, and major communications users maintain their competitive advantage at each stage of the network lifecycle.  When deploying test and monitoring solutions, Service Providers demand the highest performing and most reliable data capture infrastructure.  This demand drives the partnership between JDSU and Datacom Systems.

 
Adhering to compliance regulations includes the requirement of recording the access to critical files on a file server.  NSD is a leading provider of solutions that monitor user access to files that fall under compliance regulations.  This type of monitoring calls for only the most reliable and secure network device to copy file access activity and present that data to a monitoring tool.  For the highest security in monitoring compliance, customers use NSD and Datacom Systems.
