Technology Distribution Specialists (TDS) provides the foundational hardware required for total network observability through non-intrusive data access. Our High Density Network TAP (Test Access Point) solutions ensure that your monitoring and security tools receive a complete, 100% copy of network traffic without introducing latency or becoming a point of failure. As a specialised distributor for the APAC region, we help enterprises eliminate blind spots by providing the high-fidelity data required for deep packet inspection and retroactive forensics.

Reliable Data Capture with Network TAP Technology

A hardware Network TAP is the gold standard for traffic acquisition, offering a more reliable alternative to SPAN ports which can drop packets during high-throughput periods. Our solutions, powered by partners like Profitap, are designed for the most demanding enterprise environments. By implementing a High Density Network TAP, you ensure that your security stack—from IDS to data breach detection tools—operates with a full dataset, preventing your tools from flying blind.

Features of High Density and Aggregation TAP Solutions

In modern data centres, rack space is at a premium. Our high-density configurations allow for maximum port availability in a minimal footprint, making them ideal for large-scale deployments. Key benefits include:

• Non-Intrusive Monitoring: Hardware TAPs maintain permanent link ports, ensuring that monitoring does not interrupt the live network traffic.

• Aggregation TAP Capabilities:Many of our units can function as an Aggregation TAP, combining multiple traffic streams into a single output to optimise tool port usage.

• 100% Data Integrity:Capture every packet, including physical layer errors, which is essential for accurate network forensics and communication analytics.

• No Software Overhead: Unlike software-based mirroring, hardware TAPs do not consume switch CPU resources, ensuring your network hardware performs at its peak.

Strategic Distribution Across Australia and APAC

Based in Sydney, TDS provides professional deployment services and technical support for enterprises looking to harden their security infrastructure. We understand that many organisations are currently overpaying for name-brand solutions. Our High Density Network TAP range offers a superior ROI by delivering enterprise-grade performance without the typical brand-name markup.

Whether you are securing a local Sydney government department or a multinational in Singapore, our hardware ensures your security tool layer is fed with the highest quality data possible. Enquire with us today!
