Probes collect data from local and remote segments. Choose from software or hardware probes that can monitor across Gigabit, 10 GbE, WAN, Fibre Channel, Ethernet links, and wireless.

TAPs

Provides monitoring and security devices with complete visibility into full-duplex networks

Network Instruments’ nTAPs let you monitor and analyze full-duplex links. nTAPs are critical components for network management because they provide complete and accurate access to live traffic streams. Without an nTAP, a monitoring device may be fed incomplete and misleading information: creating false alarms and missing problems that actually do exist.

Observer Infrastructure

Maintaining device and route performance is key to ensuring the delivery of critical applications. Observer Infrastructure (OI) is a powerful network monitoring solution that provides the functionality and intelligence needed to ensure the network supports current and future business

Use OI to transform infrastructure metrics into actionable information to use in problem prevention, optimizing performance, resource planning, and more.
