PROFITAP reveals latest technological development - ProfiShark 1G utilizes USB 3.0 and revolutionary, portable designPROFITAP® Reveals Groundbreaking Technology; New Solution for Network Troubleshooting, Monitoring and Traffic Capture ProfiShark 1G utilizes USB 3.0 and revolutionary, portable design Eckbolsheim, France - January 22nd, 2015 ProfiShark 1G from PROFITAP® is the latest technological development in Gigabit Ethernet monitoring and troubleshooting. This innovative plug and play solution incorporates burgeoning technology directly into its portable design, effectively making it one of the most viable ever devices for both field testing and technical monitoring. As opposed to antiquated troubleshooting tools commonly used for field testing, which include a desktop PC with a special capture NIC and additional aggregator tap, the ProfiShark 1G boils design down into a single, highly portable and seamless instrument. By directly utilizing the advantages of a USB 3.0 (5Gb/s) build; the ProfiShark 1G captures full-duplex Gigabit Ethernet traffic at wirespeed, without the bottleneck of a standard aggregator tap or requiring an additional power source. All aggregation and timestamping is completed exclusively within the ProfiShark 1G hardware, resulting in drastically reduced CPU usage, allowing even lower-end hardware to achieve high performance capture. The ProfiShark 1G is the only device that can capture all traffic at wire speed without filtering, while timestamping each packet with nanosecond resolution. It surpasses all standard NICs in capture mode, and catches any tag and encapsulation without altering a single frame. The device is small enough to fit into a pocket or a laptop case, while still leaving additional room to spare. It can be used with a laptop without requiring additional PSU, and is quickly proving to be one of the most comprehensive available solutions for Gigabit Ethernet Troubleshooting of any kind. Its portability, speed and efficiency make it the perfect tool for both field engineers and those looking for more efficient ways to achieve long-term traffic collection. PROFITAP® clients that have already begun to adapt this new technology include some of the world’s largest technology companies. The ProfiShark 1G is compatible with Wireshark and an array of other network analysis software. It can be run on Windows 7, Windows 8 and Linux. ProfiShark 1G from PROFITAP® is available now on ProfiTap.com. ProfiShark 1G features include: • 10/100/1G monitoring on USB 3.0 • USB 3.0 powered with no adapter required • Fail-safe monitoring; a bypass system activates in case of power failure • Hardware aggregation • 8 ns hardware timestamping for accurate latency testing • Low-level error and bandwidth monitoring • Real-time statistics • CRC error capture • Capture of any type of frames such as: short/jumbo/VLAN/VXLAN/MPLS/Pause frames and more • Direct capture to disk • Very low CPU usage • Invisible to the network • Lightweight and highly portable build • Quick setup and easy use PROFITAP® is a brand of Comcraft, Inc.
