GigaVUE® 2404 Data Access Switch

The GigaVUE-2404® is the latest platform in the GigaVUE family, extending the GigaVUE architecture to 10G centric applications. Compatible with the GigaVUE-420 & GigaVUE-MP, the GigaVUE-2404 offers ten times the performance of the GigaVUE-420 or GigaVUE-MP at only two times the cost.

The GigaVUE-2404 is a high density Data Access Switch for 10G centric data center networks. Up to 24 10G plus 4 1G ports are housed in a low profile 2U chassis. The GigaVUE-2404 aggregates, replicates and filters traffic flows across multiple passive monitoring tools. It is a powerful 10G tool aggregator capable of full line rate performance and transfer latency of only 6 μsec.

The GigVUE-2404 has a modular design that allows network managers to deploy the exact number of ports necessary to fit their requirements. The base chassis houses eight 10 GigE ports and four 1G and scales to a maximum of twenty-four 10G ports.

Multiple GigaVUE 2404 data access switches can be stacked together or with existing GigaVUE-MP or GigaVUE-420 chassis into a much bigger virtual GigaVUE fabric of over 200 ports, connected in a master-slave star configuration.

Traffic from 10G networks can be delivered to either 10G or 1G legacy tools thus saving significant capital tool costs.
