In high-density network infrastructures, optimizing tool utilization and maintaining flexibility are crucial. The Profitap Booster, when paired with a Network Packet Broker (NPB), offers two key advantages:

⦿ 𝗢𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗶𝘇𝗲𝗱 𝗣𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝗨𝘀𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗥𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗲𝗱 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘅𝗶𝘁𝘆: Aggregate multiple network links into a single port. This maximizes the utilization of expensive NPB ports while simplifying your network setup.

⦿ 𝗦𝗲𝗮𝗺𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗦𝗽𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻: Many packet brokers lack support for lower-speed links (10M/100M/1G). Profitap Booster cost-effectively addresses this by converting these links into a single 10 Gbps output, instantly adding new speed compatibility to both new and existing monitoring tools.

This year, there are two locations where you can see Profitap solutions in action at Nuremberg! Be sure to stop by at the PROFIBUS & PROFINET (PI) booth (Hall 5, 210) for live OT monitoring demos, and visit our partner DMN Solutions (Hall 5, 135) to talk secure IT/OT network monitoring.

See you there!

When capture performance is paramount, choose 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗳𝗶𝗦𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗸. Engineered for the highest quality and reliability, here are eight key reasons why they are the preferred choice for network professionals:

⦿ 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗳𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗛𝗮𝗿𝗱𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗲: Utilizes an FPGA-based, high-performance capture card to ensure reliable results, bypassing the inconsistent capture limitations of standard PC NICs.

⦿ 𝗡𝗼𝗻-𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗿𝘂𝘀𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗔𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀: Captures network data without affecting security or performance. The ProfiShark and its host PC remain invisible on the network.

⦿ 𝗛𝗶𝗴𝗵-𝗣𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗧𝗶𝗺𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗺𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗴: Timestamping is performed directly in the ProfiShark hardware, guaranteeing accuracy regardless of PC load or traffic volume.

⦿ 𝗙𝗮𝗶𝗹-𝗦𝗮𝗳𝗲 𝗢𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: Maintains the network connection even if power to the ProfiShark is unexpectedly disconnected.

⦿ 𝗙𝗹𝗲𝘅𝗶𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗠𝗼𝗱𝗲𝘀: Operates effectively in both out-of-band and in-line configurations.

⦿ 𝗙𝘂𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗶𝗴𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗣𝗼𝗿𝘁𝘀: Allows complete control over network parameters, including Autonegotiation, speed, and duplex settings.

⦿ 𝗙𝗖𝗦 𝗖𝗼𝗿𝗿𝘂𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗖𝗮𝗽𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲: Unique capability to capture packets with Corrupted Frame Check Sequence (FCS), which is impossible for a regular PC NIC, and transfer them to the connected PC.

⦿ 𝗚𝗣𝗦 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗣𝗣𝗦 𝘀𝘆𝗻𝗰𝗵𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗶𝘇𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: advanced timing features for even greater precision (in ProfiShark "Plus" versions).

Data gravity is pushing workloads toward the cloud, but fully centralized inspection drives latency, cost, and security risks. A hybrid approach keeps raw capture and first stage analysis at the edge, reducing blind spots and protecting sensitive data.

Profitap supports this model with secure TAPs, NPBs, Kubernetes Cloud TAPs and IOTA, delivering complete visibility across on prem and cloud environments.

Imagine flying without a black box. No way to know why something went wrong, no data to learn from, just guesswork. Now think about your network.

Without high-fidelity packet capture, every outage, slowdown, or security event is the same kind of mystery. Logs tell part of the story, but not the whole truth.

Profitap IOTA is your network’s flight recorder. It captures every packet at line rate with zero loss, giving you the evidence and visibility to:
🔹 Reconstruct incidents with precision
🔹 Detect subtle performance issues
🔹 Prove compliance and accelerate forensics

Milliseconds matter. In financial trading, ICS/OT, VoIP, or forensics, latency can’t be ignored. Even sub-millisecond latency can impact performance, compliance, and visibility. ➡️ https://hubs.la/Q03QflRT0

Profitap Copper TAPs deliver ultra-low latency and full transparency, ensuring network visibility while maintaining network performance. With latency in the nanosecond figures and predictable results, you get true zero-impact monitoring.

Discover how low-latency Copper TAPs ensure optimal network performance and visibility, vital for financial trading, industrial control, and security monitoring applications.

In virtual and cloud environments, large amounts of east–west traffic move between VMs and containers, often without passing through a physical switch, and outside the reach of a physical monitoring tool. Blind spots in this virtual traffic can put your performance, visibility, and security at risk.

This article by Dom Fitzgibbon “Tapping into the Hidden Network,” explores:
🔹 Why east–west traffic often goes unseen
🔹 How visibility gaps affect performance, compliance, and threat detection
🔹 How Profitap vTAP and Cloud TAP provide insight into every packet

👉 Read the article and learn how to regain complete visibility across your hybrid network: https://hubs.la/Q03PrkTl0

Achieve full network visibility in virtualized and containerized environments with Profitap's vTAP and Cloud TAP for enhanced performance, security, and troubleshooting.
