About Replicator
Replicator is a networking appliance that can collect, replicate, and load-balance streams from UDP metadata-exporting devices before forwarding them to any number of destination hosts. Replication functions are managed through user-defined profiles, eliminating the typical 1:1 pairing requirement between flow exporting devices and network intelligence collectors.
Fully configurable replication - Create profiles to manage exporter-to-collector assignments and use inclusion/exclusion policies to keep profiles updated as your environment expands
Insightful, real-time alarms - Gain additional visibility into all devices sending flows to the Replicator and get alerted to drops in traffic and other irregularities
Full-featured web interface - View and manage the Replicator environment in an intuitive web interface
Robust command line interface (CLI) - Use interactive commands to configure Replicator’s functions and leverage advanced features
