    Like you, we are constantly striving to improve our technology to best suit your needs.

  • Quality Is Key

    Handmade by skilled engineers, developed by experts globally, and a specialized support team. Our products and services are of the highest quality to ensure the ultimate ethernet TAP, Hybrid TAP and Packet Broker solutions are provided to our customers.

    With our intuitive Drag-n-Vu™ management system, you are your own expert. Easy and failure-free configuration at your finger tips. Network Critical offers the most flexible and modular system in the industry.

  • Since the 1990s

    There has been significant technological developments over the last 20 years. The revolutionary development of 1G has now become 400G, Network TAPs have evolved into powerful and vital tools for network monitoring, security and visibility. The Network Packet Brokers of today are so accurate that even the biggest network can be monitored in the most cost-effective way.

    Those working with aviation networks benefit from our solutions because of their bespoke (modular) design and functionality. These solutions are of high value since we have developed them from the ground up, making our products flexible and tailored to all of our customers' needs.

The Challenge

Raising Traffic Volumes
  • Want access to large amounts of data with existing tools
  • Downtime becomes a greater risk and need for quality TAPs and Packet Brokers increases
Increased Network Complexity
  • Increased expenditure in network infrastructure
  • Managing both network and security teams increases in difficulty
  • Less effective network visibility
Failure To Optimize
  • Uncompetitive latency and bandwidth damages quality
  • The user experience, operational efficiency and security suffers

The Solution

Raising Traffic Volumes:

Raising Traffic Volumes: Companies in the energy sector often find themselves wanting to enhance and expand their network without wanting to buy new network tools. Network Critical helps these companies by providing intelligent aggregation methods, which increases the efficiency and effectiveness of current tools while minimizing rack space. The SmartNA-PortPlus™ and SmartNA-PortPlus HyperCore™ are excellent long-term solutions, providing 100 to 400G of traffic to your existing monitoring platforms.

Increased Network Complexity:

To tackle increased network complexities, our customers implement a suitable network packet broker platform in order to see everything within their network. This ensures network teams and network security teams can get access to the required traffic when they need it, without internal disputes.​

Our packet brokers allow for increased network visibility so users can gain the most accurate information; allowing for well-informed decision-making. Plus, you can gain significant cost savings on your monitoring solutions. Clever aggregating and filtering allows you to send only the required information to the tooling.

Failure to Optimize:

Network Critical’s tools are precise for most successful network performance, allowing users to meet external SLAs and gain the most out of their network. Only top-of-the-range products such as the products you see in the Product Comparison Chart (below) will allow excellent network performance.

BP-1

‘Continuous monitoring is critical to digitization and automation of our many monitoring systems. Being able to monitor remote sites from a single location keeps our systems up to date without having large staff running around in trucks.’

– Senior Project Manager, Refining Operations



BP needed to connect multiple tools for monitoring and security of IT and OT systems. They used our Passive Fiber Optical TAPs in over 10 locations for centralized monitoring of critical information and operational systems, providing high level service assurance and robust protection against attacks that can cripple production.​

  • High level service assurance
  • 100% of traffic received
  • Protection against going offline
