IT organizations face the challenges of maintaining the robustness and security of their network. To meet these challenges, they deploy an ever increasing number of network monitoring tools, including IDS/IPS systems and network recorders. Each monitoring tool requires access to the data traversing the network, which is typically achieved by connecting the tools via a TAP or SPAN port. However, many monitoring tools only need specific portions of the data for analysis. Indiscriminately sending the complete data stream to each monitoring tool effectively lowers the performance.

The Anue NTO provides four advanced packet processing features to help IT organizations improve network monitoring tool performance.

Packet De-Duplication improves tool bandwidth by eliminating duplicate data packets generated from redundant SPAN ports before those packets reach monitoring tools
Extended Burst Protection ensures complete packet delivery to tools by preventing dropped packets when aggregating multiple network streams into a single 1G stream
MPLS Stripping enables non-MPLS capable monitoring tools to monitor data by removing MPLS labels directly from the packet stream and restoring packets to standard IPv4/6 packets
Packet Trimming improves monitoring tool bandwidth by trimming packets before they are delivered to the monitoring tool

“We listened to our customers’ problems and created a solution to help them better maintain the health of their networks,” said Keith Cheney, senior vice president at Anue Systems. “We are excited to offer robust packet de-duplication and extended burst protection, which helps network engineers get the most that they can from their monitoring tools.”

The Anue 5200 NTO series reside between network SPANs or TAPs and the monitoring tools to aggregate, filter and replicate traffic to its respective destinations. The system allows network engineers to simultaneously connect monitoring tools to multiple points on the network to increase the productivity of expensive monitoring tools. The 5200 network visibility systems ensure the delivery of the right traffic to the right tools to provide complete network visibility.

To learn more about Anue Systems and to see demonstrations of its network visibility systems, visit Booth #951 at Cisco Live (Mandalay Bay Convention Center, Las Vegas, NV, USA), which takes place July 11-14, 2011.

To see the new features in action, download the demo and select the network port with the advanced option as denoted with AFM, for Advanced Feature Module.

Confocal IR laser scanning microscopy is a non-destructive, through-silicon metrology technique that monitors a variety of post bond parameters including overlay alignment accuracy, bonding interface thickness variations, and bonding interface quality including pre- and post-bond defect inspection and review.

Automated measurement of a sampling of bonded wafer overlay alignment points will quickly characterize the wafer bonding alignment accuracy as well as provide indications of bond quality problems. Olympus’ 3DIR metrology system measures alignment points at selected die of bonded wafers, stores images and data, and summarizes results. Correlation of overlay alignment offset data to electrical yield provides the customer with an early indication of bonded wafer yield. Software tools are provided to display data in the form of vector maps for further review and analysis.

The confocal capability of the microscope allows thin optical sectioning in Z and construction of 3D images of the bonded wafer interface and structures. The 3D reconstructions can be used to create sections in the XZ plane to provide a measurable profile of an imaged structure or feature. Using the confocal capability of the microscope to take XZ measurements at various points on the wafer provides information on the bond interface thickness uniformity.

Using the system’s IR microscope imaging capability, bonded wafers are automatically scanned at low magnification. Images are stitched together to form a single wafer image. When the overlay vector map is superimposed on the scanned wafer image, correlation of many of the failed overlay measurement points to bonded interface anomalies can be seen. Because the wafer scan is done using an IR microscope, the stitched image can be viewed and zoomed for more detail. In addition, any site can be revisited and the image reviewed or rescanned and imaged using the IR microscope with objective magnifications up to 90X and 0.14um pixel resolution.

“Typically it takes several types of equipment to characterize overlay alignment accuracy, perform thickness measurements, and image the bonded interface for defect analysis,” explained Greg Baker, president of Olympus Integrated Technologies America. “The Olympus 3DIR Metrology and Defect Review system provides all these capabilities in a single SECS/GEM compliant tool.”

The Olympus-ITA system was developed through a 2-year project with SEMATECH, a consortia comprised of about 50% of the worldwide chip market.

For more information on IR laser scanning microscopy, visit the Olympus Integrated Technologies America booth #1524 at SEMICON West, Moscone Center, San Francisco, CA, from July 12-14, 2011.
