Recently, Mobility Tech Zone, a website that is notorious for gathering all of the latest and greatest news currently taking place in the mobile broadband industry, has recently selected network packet broker provider VSS Monitoring (News - Alert) as a winner of its 2011 Product of the Year Award for its Distributed Series.

Policy-based triggers, filtering, and load balancing combine with packet optimization and specific application features to provide redundant network intelligence system building for full LAN, WAN, or cloud-based network visibility.”

Network packet brokers enables businesses to significantly reduce the amount of tools they must both manage and maintain, while simultaneously cutting down the time it takes to respond to any type of malfunction-related issues. This solution is ideal in being able to quickly gain insight into exactly what traffic is passing through the network at exactly the right points, enabling companies to seamlessly integrate a network intelligence optimization layer into their infrastructure to manage the connection between the tools and network with ease.
