Content Filtering Deployment Case
Content filtering is the process where content is allowed or blocked based on the analysis of the content, rather than the source or other criteria. This is particularly popular for filtering email and internet access.
Why do you need to use an access technology solution with your Content Filtering tool?
Because these tools need to be installed in-line, they can become a source of network downtime. When the device fails or needs to have maintenance performed on it, the entire network needs to be brought down to perform these fixes.
Network Critical solutions for Content Filtering
By using virtually inline or
V-Line taps in a network, system administrators can isolate appliance failures and inherited appliance software issues by deploying their otherwise inline network tools using a hardened traffic access point. V-Line taps actively monitor the directional flow of data through a network appliance in both directions, and allow the tap to maintain live network continuity while having the option to actively bypass an inline appliance, should the device lose network link or traffic flowing in either direction through the inline appliance.
In the event of an inline appliance failure, V-Line traffic access points detect these occurrences while maintaining live network link, and will actively bypass the faulty appliance. Similarly, if traffic ceases flowing in either direction through an inline appliance, V-Line taps can detect such an anomaly and actively bypass inline appliance software failures.
