The team at Network Critical continuously work towards our united vision of continued innovation. From our hardware engineers to our customer support team, we understand the network security, monitoring and performance environment is always changing, and we understand that we must also constantly adapt. With new network architectures and infrastructures always renewing, the need for new and next-generation visibility technologies will always be in demand. Our vision to innovate means we will always be able to provide our customers with the best and highest quality solutions. See our latest hybrid ethernet TAP and packet broker here.
As carriers prepare for the 4G to 5G transition and enterprise networks wrestle with BYOD, information security and far flung cloud architectures, Network Critical will be there with the ultimate visibility solutions. We are committed to continuing our legacy of providing innovative, reliable and cost effective visibility solutions for networks today and tomorrow.
What we do
The SmartNA range of ethernet TAPs and packet brokers offers the complete visibility solution you need. These solutions are different from traditional tapping technologies because our products intelligently make a copy of a network’s traffic, they isolate themselves from the live network and are able to collect all traffic passing through the network, without introducing latency. This reduces the risk of network downtime while ensuring the network is fully visible. The result? All traffic is visible to you without impacting traffic flow along the live network.
