The Anue 5200 Series Net Tool Optimizer™
helps companies deploy multiple network tools by conveniently linking test and monitoring tools to any traffic on the network. This improves network visibility and maximizes return on investment for those tools.
The Net Tool Optimizer aggregates network data from SPAN ports and Taps in your data center to a convenient centralized or distributed tool farm, where multiple tools can share simultaneous access to that network data. This product offers outstanding filtering capabilities, so each unique tool receives exactly the data it needs and is optimally load balanced.

Shortages of SPANs and Taps
Most data centers suffer from a severe shortage of available SPAN and Tap ports for all the tools that need access to the network. With limited network access points available for so many tools, IT and security teams often find themselves fighting over who can use each SPAN/Tap to deploy tools.
Tools Need to See All of the Right Data to Do Their Jobs
Today’s redundant, tiered, and fully meshed networks make
it extremely challenging to provide tools with the visibility they require. With traffic passing through any of countless network segments in a data center, it is impractical and expensive to deploy tools at all necessary locations. In short, there are too many tools to deploy, too many network segments to monitor, and too few data access points

Optimize Monitoring Tool Deployment
for Maximum Value
With the in-depth Anue Tool Management View, operators can view tool utilization and data throughput statistics in real-time.
Dropped packets can be avoided through the use of internal alarms that indicate when a tool is oversubscribed with data.
Underutilization of tools can be identified and corrected by directing more traffic to those devices, thereby extracting full value from the tools.

Port and Bandwidth Flexibility
Flexibility is another important feature of the Anue 5200.
The system can grow and change as your needs do, so you
can best leverage your investment in it. You can upgrade
the system in one port increments in the field via a simple
licensing approach, with no hardware upgrade required.
Multiple units can be interconnected as your port needs
further expand. The ultimate flexibility is an ability to upgrade 1G ports to 10G, ensuring you have the right number and right bandwidth of ports available to accommodate any
infrastructure changes.
