TippingPoint Core Controller
The TippingPoint Core Controller is deployed as a 'bump-in-the wire' network element for up to three 10Gbps network links.
As enterprise networks evolve, 10Gbps network links have become relatively low in cost and increasingly more widespread. Core network upgrades driven by data center consolidation, high performance computing and high bandwidth applications like video on demand and file sharing contribute to the adoption of 10Gbps networks.
The need to inspect and remove malicious traffic at high throughput traffic points is now greater than ever. Network and security engineers realize intrusion prevention systems (IPS) must be implemented not only at the traditional WAN perimeter, but also between major network segments within core networks and data centers. The TippingPoint Core Controller enables 10Gbps links to be protected by the industry-leading TippingPoint IPS solution in a scalable, economical manner while ensuring the high availability, performance, low latency and security accuracy that are the hallmarks of TippingPoint IPS solutions.
The TippingPoint Core Controller is deployed as a 'bump-in-the wire' network element for up to three 10Gbps network links. Traffic entering the Core Controller is intelligently flow balanced to a bank of TippingPoint IPS's where traffic inspection and enforcement are performed. Malicious and unwanted traffic is blocked, and clean traffic is returned to the Core Controller for distribution to the appropriate 10Gbps egress link, allowing organizations to scale security traffic inspection and enforcement.
