The nGenius Packet Flow Switch (PFS) 5000 series models operate at speeds 1Gbps to 100Gbps, providing core packet broker functionality, such as filtering, load balancing, aggregation, and replication, wherever packet broker ports are needed. Specifically, the nGenius PFS 5000 series operates stand alone, like any other PFS switch in the portfolio, in remote sites where the small 1 Rackmount Unit (RU) form factor is ideal. Enabled with self-organizing mesh technology, the nGenius PFS 5000 series easily scales for large-scale network monitoring needs.
