INTELLFLEX^® Aggregation & Filtering

INTELLAFLEX^® is a Packet Aggregator blade that adds aggregation and filtering capability to APCON’s INTELLAPATCH^® Series 3000 switching solution.

This blade allows users to aggregate multiple data links from network SPAN, Tap or mirror ports, and filter and direct only the desired traffic to specific monitoring devices. In this way, users are able to electronically share expensive monitoring devices (such as analyzers and IDS) – often across multiple locations – while preventing oversubscription and data loss.

Supporting up to 144 ports in 4U, INTELLAFLEX^® offers the highest port density in a single chassis – easily accommodating large enterprises that typically have hundreds of SPAN ports and Taps in their networks. INTELLAFLEX^® also offers the highest port aggregation density, with a maximum of 120 1G ports and 32 10g ports in a single chassis.

Capacity
INTELLAPATCH^® Series 3000 switches support up to two INTELLAFLEX^® Packet Aggregator blades in the four-blade chassis, offering a total of 144 ports in a single chassis – the highest port density available.

Specifically, INTELLAFLEX^® blades offer 120 ports of 1G aggregation or 32 ports of 10G aggregation in a single chassis – designed to achieve the scalability required for larger network infrastructures.

INTELLAFLEX^® blades also offer innovation in data filtering by supporting thousands of active filters that can be combined with Boolean logic. Users can filter on all common Layer 2 through Layer 4 parameters, and are then able to save, recall and share filtering rules by name.
