• Network Instruments Observer Complete network visibility from Observer® Observer from Network Instruments® combines a comprehensive, freestanding management and analysis console with high-performance distributed remote Probes to provide integrated monitoring and management of the entire network (LAN, 802.11a/b/g, Gigabit, WAN). Observer offers packet capture and decode capabilities, real-time statistics, application analysis, over 500 real-time Experts, network trending, network reporting, and complete RMON, SNMP device management. Remote networking probes allow full insight and analysis into any part of the network. Specific innovations found in the Observer network analyzer include: VLAN Analysis The Observer console also works with a complete line of Network Instruments Probes. From Trunked Gigabit links, wireless connections to wide area networks, Network Instruments probes ensure complete scalability and visibility from the edge to the core. The Advanced Multi-Probe takes remote network monitoring to a new level by offering multi-session and multi-interface support. With Advanced Multi-Probes, administrators can monitor multiple NICs from a single system, regardless of topology, offering higher port densities. Multi-session allows numerous administrators to log on to one remote probe, run different modes and perform individual packet captures simultaneously; thus offering tremendous possibilities in problem-solving collaboration. Observer offers a strong return on investment by reducing troubleshooting time for the IT department and increasing the efficiency of the network. With enhanced multi-probes, all remote monitoring can be done locally, eliminating the need to travel to different branch locations to solve problems – resulting in cost-savings. The superior Network Trending and Reporting capabilities offer insight into network health and offer a way to predict future traffic levels for proactive management. Observer is also a fully distributed, scalable solution. With Observer, network administrators can gain the knowledge necessary to maintain complete network control.
Observer – The first level in understanding network health. Observer offers critical insight for improved efficiency. Features include: real-time packet capture and decode, long-term trending statistics, custom triggers and alarms, unlimited filtering options, vital signs display and more. Observer offers a way to monitor bandwidth utilization, Internet traffic, access point utilization rates, understand protocol distribution, and be notified of errors as they occur. Expert Observer – The next level of problem resolution. Expert Observer tracks over 500 network conditions including over 50 just for wireless networks. Expert Observer not only points out network conditions but offers the cause of the problem. This greatly speeds up problem resolution and reduces network downtime. Features include: Application Analysis to track and solve application problems including session flows and failed transactions. Observer can also guarantee no dropped packets with the industry’s largest memory buffer (4GB maximum) to keep up with enterprise level traffic. A “What-If” Modeling tool offering network engineers to predict how network changes will affect response times. Understand how your network will react before making costly upgrades. Observer Suite – The most complete level for the advanced administrator. Includes all the features of Observer and Expert plus complete SNMP and RMON device management. Optimize network devices (including switches and routers) with full SNMP management console. Observer is one of the only network analyzers to provide this key feature. Monitor LANs/WANs from a central location using RMON1, RMON2 and HCRMON collection consoles. View statistics from any browser using the built-in Web reporting service. Observer Suite is an excellent way to provide upper management with reports on network health including traffic levels, bandwidth utilization and more.
