Network Critical’s Integrated 1U V-Line device provides complete failsafe protection for an inline appliance in one simple step. Installed in place of the appliance, the TAP continually checks the appliance’s network status and while it is online directs network traffic through it. If the appliance goes offline the TAP automatically bypasses it and traffic is directed straight through to the network devices. When the appliance comes online again traffic is once again directed through it.

This feature is vital for customers who want to deploy inline appliances on mission critical network segments but simply can’t afford the risk of unscheduled downtime or the costly dilemma of scheduled downtime for configuration changes, maintenance or repair scenarios.

The integrated 1U chassis design makes it the perfect choice for permanently installing access into your network infrastructure.
