Network Instruments Extends Affordable 10 Gb Monitoring to the Network Edge
First Field-Scalable Appliance Provides Network Teams Affordable, Robust Retrospective Analysis for Remote Offices
(firmenpresse) - MINNEAPOLIS, MN -- (Marketwire) -- 03/26/13 -- Network Instruments, a worldwide leader in network and application performance monitoring, today announced the introduction of its new, smaller 2U form factor. It is the first field-upgradeable retrospective analysis appliance designed to provide affordable, robust gigabit and for enterprise network teams migrating to higher speeds at their network edge.
The new appliance also provides a cost-effective solution for midmarket companies needing high-speed performance validation in the datacenter core. It is a scalable monitoring investment that can be expanded from 2 TB - 16 TB in the field, saving time and providing greater monitoring flexibility in a single appliance.
"Datacenter consolidation and virtualization initiatives, along with bandwidth-intensive , are driving organizations to implement 10 Gb across their entire backbone," said Jim Frey, managing research director of Enterprise Management Associates (EMA). "Unfortunately, network teams are often stuck with legacy gigabit-rated monitoring tools incapable of handling the increased traffic volume, or face unacceptably high costs for upgrading tooling to support 10 Gb. New configurations that allow IT teams to make that shift gradually and more cost effectively, such as the GigaStor Upgradeable line from Network Instruments, are both essential and long overdue."
As the only performance management company developing its own software and hardware, the new appliance is purpose built to provide long-term, robust 10 Gb performance monitoring. Features ensuring its availability for monitoring heavy traffic loads include the Gen2 card, exclusively engineered by Network Instruments to maximize performance on critical links; plus hot-swappable drives, Lights Out Management (LOM), and redundant fans and power supplies. In addition, software functions that streamline the management of high-performance environments include real-time aggregated monitoring with core-to-edge network views, logical workflows for fast troubleshooting, in-depth , and extensive gigabit and 10 Gb analysis and metrics to assess activity and utilization.
"We have continually been a performance monitoring innovator, providing the fastest, most flexible solutions for service delivery management within the world's largest datacenters," said Charles Thompson, director of product strategy for Network Instruments. "We've developed the first platform capable of monitoring saturated full-duplex 10 Gb links at line rate, without dropping a packet. And we're the only company to offer field-scalable retrospective analysis appliances with a product robust enough to handle large datacenter demand -- but small enough for deployment at the edge or within a medium-sized enterprise."
Established in 1994, Network Instruments is an industry leader in application and network management. It provides products that optimize performance and speed problem resolution, helping ensure delivery of critical applications for businesses worldwide. Network Instruments delivers these benefits through a seamlessly integrated line of precision-engineered software and hardware systems for exact network monitoring and analysis.
