About EXA8
Cubro has recently launched the EXA8 network packet broker. This is essentially a hardware platform featuring 8 10/100/1000 copper ports that can function as fail-safe copper TAPs, 2 x 1/10G SFP/SFP+, an ARM quad-core CPU, 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD, 2 x USB 3.0 ports, and a Micro SD card slot. We will be selling a “Standard” version that incorporates aggregation as well as built-in packet capture functionality. The device incorporates Webshark right into the GUI to analyze PCAPs directly on the unit, or they can be downloaded remotely from the GUI, or saved to any external USB or SD cards as well. The EXA8 really is a platform that can be leveraged to bring all kinds of network monitoring, troubleshooting, and security applications to life.
