Secure Traffic Aggregation & Packet Brokers
In addition to switching, Red Helix also provides and supports Arista’s advanced traffic aggregation and packet broker platforms. These solutions are critical for organisations that need full visibility into network traffic for performance monitoring, compliance, and cyber security.
Arista’s Network Packet Brokers and Aggregation Taps help you direct the right traffic to the right tools, such as intrusion detection systems, SIEM platforms, or performance analytics, without introducing latency or packet loss. They reduce tool overload, eliminate blind spots, and support granular filtering, replication, and load balancing of traffic across monitoring solutions.
This is especially important in complex or regulated environments, where visibility into encrypted or east-west traffic is key to identifying threats early and responding fast. With Arista and Red Helix, you gain the ability to build a cyber-resilient network fabric that not only performs but also protects.
