All-in-One Troubleshooting
Observer Suite is your one-stop troubleshooting powerhouse. It contains all the features of Observer Expert, including Expert Analysis, VoIP tools, in-depth application analysis, Connection Dynamics, stream reconstruction, and more, plus support for SNMP and RMON device management.
You get all this, plus the ability to generate and share reports via the web, add custom decode modules for use in proprietary environments, and extract data from external sources using SOAP.
Advanced Single Probe: Provides decodes, real-time statistics, and long-term trending. Network data is encrypted before transfer to the console, and probe access is password protected.
Advanced Multi-Probe: Provides all the functionality of the Single Probe, plus the ability to set up and monitor multiple interfaces concurrently. Also allows multiple administrators access for real-time collaboration from any remote location, and supports the industry’s largest capture buffer.
Advanced Expert Probe: Includes all the functionality of the Multi-Probe, plus displays remote Expert Analysis in real time for faster troubleshooting. The Expert Probe conserves network bandwidth by analyzing all data locally and sending only results to the Observer console. This eliminates the need to transfer data packets over the wire
Rewind Your Network: Stop missing critical network events. Instead, rewind your network to quickly troubleshoot sporadic performance problems.
The GigaStor network recorder provides massive data collection and unique time-based analysis that eliminate the need to recreate problems, rapidly decreasing resolution time. Storing up to 288 TB of network data for days, weeks, or months, our network recorder eliminates finger-pointing between network and application teams by providing proof of what occurred. Use GigaStor to navigate to the exact moment a problem happened, and see a detailed packet-level view of before, during, and after the occurrence. Monitor LAN, WAN, Ethernet, Gigabit, 10 Gb, OC, and Fibre Channel networks.
High-End Monitoring and Troubleshooting On the Go
When portability counts, the Network Instruments Portable Analyzer System is the only unit you need to manage and troubleshoot complex Gigabit,
10 Gb, WAN, Fibre Channel, and OC problems throughout the network.
With Portable Analyzer Systems:Troubleshoot intermittent performance issues, Obtain an independent look at data flow, Gain real-time metrics
Perform retrospective network analysis.
Top-Down Performance Management
Observer Reporting Server (ORS) offers a top-down approach that combines enterprise-wide views, macro- and micro-level reporting, and deep drill-down for problem resolution. ORS serves as your performance management center by combining captured packets along with NetFlow, SNMP, and sFlow® metrics to provide an overall view of network health. Using solution-centric workflows, navigate quickly from high-level performance reports to the root-cause. Auto-baseline and quickly assess performance, Drill into link, user, and connection details, Pinpoint root cause with in-depth application metrics, Monitor trends to prepare for the future, ORS is a stand-alone appliance which simultaneously collects and aggregates data from Observer Probes, NetFlow devices, and other collection agents
Observer Infrastructure (OI) is a robust network monitoring solution that provides powerful reports, network mapping, active discovery, inventory capabilities, and configurable alarms. For any size business,
OI provides insight into the devices on your network and the routes connecting them.
