Monitor Gigabit from Edge to
Core
 Gigabit
and 10 gigabit Ethernet networks mean high-speed
communication, on-demand systems, and improved
business functions. They also require diligent
maintenance, real-time monitoring, and troubleshooting.
To help fulfill the promise of gigabit technologies,
network professionals require comprehensive, distributed
analysis.
Network Instruments Gigabit and 10 Gb solutions
provide multiple scalable options for enterprise
organizations demanding a complete approach to
network management. All appliances are 64-bit
Windows systems and include our exclusive Gen2
capture technology designed to maximize analysis
performance on critical links.

Find Strength in Our Analytics
Gigabit and 10 Gb are the most critical links
in an organization, used for data centers or high-demand,
business critical applications. Pinpointing problems
as quickly as possible is the most important concern
administrators face when performance is impacted.
That’s where we come in.
Observer’s Expert Analysis alerts you to potential
problems and offers solutions. Use it to sift
through and isolate problems from the millions
of packets you'll capture on a high-speed network.
Utilize Observer’s MultiHop Analysis to automatically
start simultaneous packet captures from different
network segments and synchronize the buffers to
find delay and packet loss.
In Connection Dynamics, get easy-to-read graphical
views of system conversations for instant identification
of long latency and response times. Retransmissions
and lost packets are flagged for quick identification.
Measuring Gigabit & 10 Gb Performance
 Make
sure your high-capacity Gigabit or 10 Gb network
remains healthy. Each of these powerful features
and functionalities is included in Observer
Expert and Observer
Suite:
- Real-time statistics
- Capacity planning
- SLA and QoS metrics
- Long-term trending and baselining
- Remote real-time Expert analysis
- VoIP analysis
- Application analysis
- Nanosecond resolution
- NetFlow collection capability
Gigabit & 10 Gb Reporting
 In
order to maintain business functions and ensure
smooth application delivery it is critical to
monitor and understand bandwidth usage patterns.
Observer allows you to create and share custom
reports and compare them over time to track performance
changes.
From a higher level, the Observer
Reporting Server provides enterprise-wide,
aggregate reporting with real-time updates so
you can ensure access to high-capacity links.
Unlike other solutions, it also allows you to
drill down from this level to troubleshoot at
the packet level.
When a sporadic Gigabit or 10 Gb link issue is
discovered, use the GigaStor
retrospective network analysis appliance to rewind
your network to the problem period and perform
troubleshooting and analysis.
