Unlock higher return from your existing high‑speed switch ports with Network Packet Broker Port Breakout solution 🚀
Many data‑center operators face a common challenge: core switches run 40G (or higher) ports, while many traffic‑monitoring, threat‑detection and packet‑analysis servers only support 10G network interfaces. Direct 1:1 connection wastes valuable port resources.
Our NPB solves this with Port Breakout capability:
As illustrated:
✅ Option A: Classic 1:1 connection
Direct 40G‑to‑40G link between switch and NPB.
✅ Option B: 1‑to‑4 Port Breakout (Key Value)
Receive one 40G QSFP‑SR4 traffic input via MPO multimode fiber.
The Network Packet Broker breaks out this single 40G stream into four separate 10G streams, output via SFP‑10GB‑SR to power up to four monitoring servers at the same time.
This enables you to replicate and distribute the same traffic set to multiple tools — IDS, network analyzers, forensic capture systems — without purchasing new high‑speed NIC hardware for all your servers.
💡Key benefits:
▪ Optimize utilization of expensive 40G switch ports
▪ Maximize ROI for your existing 10G monitoring servers
▪ Flexible traffic distribution for full network visibility
▪ Works seamlessly with mainstream switch hardware and Intel X520/X710 server NICs
If you manage data‑center network operations, this is one capability you should evaluate for your visibility stack.
