The GigaStor is a rack-mountable unit designed to capture hours, days, even weeks worth of full-duplex traffic at gigabit line rate for data mining. Go back in time and isolate issues down to the nano second with a simple time-based navigation interface and reconstruct captured data (web pages, e-mails, phone conversations, instant messages). The GigaStor also allows for multiple sessions by users and individual levels of probe access.
Available in 4 TB, 8 TB, and 12...up 228 TB configurations, or offload to a SAN
The GigaStor can be configured to monitor full-duplex gigabit, 10 GbE, wide area networks, or fibre channel
Observer Expert displays and analyzes data in real time, providing packet captures and decodes, statistics, triggers and alarms, trending and reporting, error tracking, and router usage metrics. Additionally, Observer Expert includes a real-time and post-capture Expert system, which identifies network issues and offers immediate solutions. It also includes an extended level of VoIP analysis, conversation tracking, performance predictions, application analysis, NetFlow and sFlow® data aggregation, and the ability to reconstruct and display data streams.
Observer Suite provides all the functionality of Observer Expert plus SNMP device management, RMON and HCRMON management consoles, and a built-in web reporting service. Additional features include SOAP support, a switch station locator, and automated report delivery.
Network Instruments Probes
Network Instruments offers a complete line of software and hardware probes for monitoring network activity across multiple topologies. Choose from a variety of probes to meet your specific needs. Use probes for troubleshooting, collecting NetFlow data, proactive monitoring, long-term data collection, or network forensics.
Provides decodes, real-time statistics, and long-term trending. Network data is encrypted before transfer to the console, and probe access is password protected.
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.
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.
"With Observer, it's like looking in 60 different directions at once." Coleman Jenkins, AAA East Coast, Senior Network Engineer
GigaStor™ is a retrospective network analysis solution that allows administrators to capture up to 48 TB of network data and play it back for analysis. GigaStor handles Gigabit and 10 Gb networks.
"We find we often don’t hear about problems until hours after they’ve happened. By deploying the GigaStor at strategic places on the network we have the ability to go back in time, filter down to the particular traffic of interest and then do our analysis. This saves us a lot of time that would've been spent recreating the issue or waiting for it to happen again."
"Network Instruments simply has a better value proposition. The ability to capture and store huge amounts of network data and be able to run it against things like Connection Dynamics and Time Interval Analysis, all at a better price point, is an easy choice." ...John Ritter, Network Manager, Chicago Board Options Exchange
