Ixia's NTO Switches to help Small Enterprises Maximize Network Resources

Enterprises have realized the importance of maintaining the health of their networks. In order to ensure that these networks provide consistent value and performance, network optimizer tools monitor networks and applications and also provide enterprise class visibility.
To provide small enterprises with the same kind of network visibility that is present in large enterprises , ixia has announced a new family of feature rich, easy-to-use net tool optimizer (NTO) products, which provide a new level of scalability and flexibility.
Built from the ground up, the new Ixia (News - Alert) NTO 2112/2113 family of products delivers the unique capabilities of the NTO monitoring switch at a cost-effective price. It delivers actionable insight and is also expected to help customers control cost, protect their investments and help solve their business challenges.
The new Ixia NTO 2112 and 2113 network monitoring switches, also known as Network Packet Brokers, connect the live network and monitoring tools. They ensure that each tool in the array gets exactly the data it requires to function and also allow many tools share access to any network data. In short, it sees to it that every tool has end-to-end network visibility, which is very critical to networks.
Enterprise class visibility, once considered a large enterprise problem is very important even for smaller companies. This is because IP networks are dynamic in nature. Network sizes change, speeds change, the amount of data that networks handle has changed and networks have become more complex to handle.
Thus, both large enterprises with distributed sites and smaller enterprises with fewer resources need an efficient way to manage network performance and security issues, for downtime translates into lost productivity and lost revenue.
Corporate IT teams need comprehensive and flexible access to network data if they are to effectively monitor, manage and maximize their network resources, and ixia’s new NTO 2112/2113 family of products appears capable of doing that.
