Inline systems (such as Intrusion Protection) provide critical services and tools for network managers but can be a source of unplanned downtime or performance degradation when they fail or become overloaded.

Datacom’s DURAstream bypass switches provide a reliable, consistent fail-safe method of connecting inline network tools that can minimize or eliminate these issues without impacting network architecture or design by diverting network traffic away from failed inline devices.

In addition, DURAstream Bypass Switches allow network administrators to manually remove inline devices from active service for maintenance and troubleshooting while ensuring connectivity.
