While packet aggregation switch technology has emerged as a new standard for sharing monitoring devices in large enterprise networks, a centralized solution for managing end-to-end connectivity was absent – until TITAN EnterPoint.

This technology makes it possible to reduce monitoring equipment investments by an average of 50 percent per data center while still guaranteeing that customers can achieve 100 percent network visibility.

At an average cost of $50,000 per tool, as well as a 15% yearly service contract on each, the total cost per location is $250,000 in monitoring equipment and $37,500 in annual support fees. Multiplying that by five equates to $1,250,000 in tools and $187,000 in annual support fees.

With the use of packet aggregation switching, the tools could be reduced to two per location for a total cost of $500,000 – resulting in a savings of $750,000 on tools and $112,000 in on-going annual support services.

Even greater efficiency is possible when this multi-switch deployment is managed collectively from a single pane of glass – the secure and centralized EnterPoint user interface.
