In today’s complex digital environments, where data moves at extreme speeds and network architectures span multiple layers, visibility is no longer optional. The Cubro EXA48800 Network Packet Broker is a high-performance visibility appliance designed to give network, security, and operations teams the clarity they need to monitor, analyze, and secure even the most demanding infrastructures.

EXA48800: Power and Precision for Modern Network Visibility

The EXA48800 stands at the forefront of Cubro’s network visibility portfolio, purpose-built for high-speed environments where performance, accuracy, and flexibility are non-negotiable. Designed to handle everything from 10 Gbps access links to 100 Gbps backbone traffic, it combines a multi-core programmable switch with dual high-performance ARM CPUs to deliver exceptional processing power and control.

Built to Handle Today’s Most Demanding Networks

Intelligent multi-speed traffic filtering and balancing – Seamlessly supports 1, 10, 25, 40, and 100 Gbps links, ensuring the right traffic reaches the right monitoring and security tools without overload.

High-density, flexible port design – Up to 48 ports for 10/25 Gbps and 8 ports for 40/100 Gbps provide the scalability and breakout flexibility needed to adapt as networks evolve.

Advanced packet inspection – Full IPv6 support and deep packet payload filtering deliver richer insight into modern traffic patterns beyond basic headers.

Comprehensive tunnel awareness – Unlock visibility into encapsulated traffic by filtering inside VXLAN, MPLS, GTP, ERSPAN, and other tunnels, eliminating blind spots across overlay networks.

More than a packet broker, the EXA48800 is a powerful traffic intelligence platform that delivers precisely curated data to each connected tool, maximizing value while minimizing noise.

Why the EXA48800 Makes a Difference

Expose hidden traffic – As networks grow more virtualized and encrypted, critical data often disappears into tunnels. The EXA48800 brings that traffic back into view, helping teams quickly identify performance issues and security threats.

Get more from your tools – By filtering, deduplicating, and optimizing traffic before it reaches monitoring and security platforms, the EXA48800 improves tool efficiency, reduces processing strain, and accelerates time to insight.

Invest with confidence – Built with a future-ready architecture that supports higher speeds, modern protocols, and flexible port configurations, the EXA48800 is designed to scale with your network and protect your investment over time.

Ideal for Complex, High Velocity Networks

The EXA48800’s advanced features make it an ideal solution for organizations operating large, complex, and high-velocity networks:

• Cloud and Service Providers (Telcos): The deep tunnel awareness (VXLAN, MPLS, GTP) is essential for monitoring complex, virtualized backbone traffic and ensuring service quality across their vast, multi-layer architectures.
• Large Enterprises and Data Centers: Any organization with a high-speed backbone (40/100 Gbps) and high-density port requirements will find the EXA48800 critical for reducing processing strain on their security and monitoring platforms.
• Network Operations (NetOps) and Security Operations (SecOps) Teams: By filtering, deduplicating, and optimizing traffic, the EXA48800 ensures each monitoring or security tool receives only the precise data it needs. This improves tool efficiency and accelerates time to insight, enabling faster identification of critical performance issues and security threats.

The Advantage of Transparent Licensing

Beyond technical performance, the EXA48800, and Cubro’s entire Packet Broker lineup offers a significant operational and financial advantage when compared to vendors like Gigamon and Keysight: a simple licensing model.

• No Additional Fees for Essential Features: Cubro believes essential intelligence should be built-in. This means the powerful core capabilities, including comprehensive tunnel awareness (VXLAN, MPLS, GTP, ERSPAN) and advanced packet inspection, are available without the need for expensive add-on licenses.
• Invest with Confidence: Cubro’s architecture is designed to scale with your network and protect your investment over time. This approach eliminates the “surprise cost” of future feature activation or annual fees to keep your hardware from turning into a paperweight.

This streamlined approach reduces unnecessary operational complexity and ensures you get the maximum value from your network visibility platform from day one.

As networks scale and traffic patterns grow more dynamic, the need for intelligent visibility becomes critical. The Cubro EXA48800 meets this challenge with high throughput, flexible filtering, tunnel awareness, and powerful traffic engineering, making it a strong foundation for organizations that rely on real time performance, security insights, and efficient tool utilization.
