There is more data than ever before in enterprise networks, but precision in network analysis usually leaves something to be desired. Organizations rely on their networks more than ever, but have less confidence in network monitoring and troubleshooting.
How can network monitoring and troubleshooting be made more practical without losing sight of the essentials?
PacketGrizzly, an industry-leading, modular packet capture and analysis solution, enables real-time and post-event analysis in networks at speeds up to 100Gbps. PacketGrizzly gives network administrators the ability to identify network and application performance problems in 1/10/25/40/100 Gigabit Ethernet, 802.11ac WLAN, VoIP and Video-over-IP networks.
PacketGrizzly offers both a powerful network recording and capture solution for up to several petabytes of traffic without packet loss, and the award-winning Omnipeek software for real-time analysis of live network traffic and forensic network analysis of recorded traffic.
PacketGrizzly consists of a capture appliance for packet capture and, depending on the storage space required, of an internal storage in the capture appliance or up to four storage units on which the captured packet data is recorded.
