Core Capabilities
Enhanced Flexibility
PacketMaestro architecture decouples hardware and software, empowering independent component choices and upgrades, including crucial elements like power supplies and fans.
Seamless Migration
Enables a seamless transition to open networks, increasing efficiency, and significantly lowering CAPEX/OPEX expenses. This model has the potential to enhance Total Cost of Ownership.
Multipurpose Hardware
This open hardware can be used for a variety of applications such as Data Center switches; reducing sparing inventory, optimizing resource allocation, and lowering costs.
Built for Every Team
PacketMaestro adapts to your team's exact monitoring needs.
Feed your security stack with exactly the right traffic
PacketMaestro aggregates feeds from multiple TAPs and SPAN ports, filters out noise, and sends only relevant flows to your IDS/IPS, NDR, and SIEM tools — at line rate, without packet loss. Extend tool coverage across the full network without adding hardware to every segment.
Full-chain visibility for faster troubleshooting
Stop guessing where bottlenecks live. PacketMaestro gives NOC teams a unified traffic view across every link — with real-time port statistics, flow-aware load balancing across NPM tools, and the ability to replicate traffic to multiple tools simultaneously without added latency.
Capture the evidence your auditors require
Regulatory frameworks demand that specific traffic flows be recorded and analyzed. PacketMaestro's precise L2–L4 filtering and VLAN-aware packet steering let you capture exactly the flows needed for GDPR, CALEA, HIPAA, and PCI-DSS audits — without touching the live network path.
