TheChallengeEnterprisesandserviceprovidersdependonreliablenetworkperformance.Configurationerrors,networkfaults,andsecurityattackscanjeopardizeoperations—andthecorporatebottomline.Tokeepnetworksperformingoptimally,engineersneedtobeabletocontinuouslymonitortheirnetworksandtroubleshootproblemswherevertheyoccur,asquicklyaspossible.Theyneedreal-timeanalysisforeverytypeofnetworksegment—Ethernet,1/10/40Gigabit,802.11,andvoiceandvideooverIP—andforeverylevelofnetworktraffic,includingspikesinusage.Theseanalysiscapabilitiesmustbeavailable24/7inaneasy-to-deploy,easy-to-usesolution.

TheSolution:OmniPeek®NetworkAnalyzerServingadualroleasbothaportablenetworkanalysissolutionandasasoftwareconsoleforOmniEngine™softwareandappliances,OmniPeek®offersanintuitive,easy-to-usegraphicalinterfacethatengineerscanusetorapidlyanalyzeandtroubleshootenterprisenetworks.OmniPeekprovidescentralizedExpertanalysisforallnetworksundermanagement.UsingOmniPeeknetworkanalyzer’sintuitiveuserinterfaceand“top-down”approachtovisualizingnetworkconditions,networkengineerscanquicklyanalyzefaultsfrommultiplenetworksegments,drilldownthroughmultiplelayersofanalysis,andpinpointproblemsthatneedcorrection.

UsingOmniPeek,networkengineerscan:
