WildPackets, Inc recently announced a newly upgraded release of the OmniPeek network analyzer solution. The company has included several new enhancements into the new version to deliver improved visibility into application performance. The OmniPeek network analyzer solution is leveraged by 80 percent of Fortune 1,000 companies in network troubleshooting and protocol analysis.
In a release, Tony Barbagallo, vice president of marketing at WildPackets, said, “OmniPeek 6.8 is built for the future as IPv6 succeeds the IPv4 protocol. Also important is the addition of the Timeline (News - Alert) dashboard that displays key network and media statistics, including top talkers and top protocols in real-time while offering network administrators intuitive drill down capabilities for forensic search."
The OmniPeek network analyzer carries out deep packet inspection, conducts network forensics, troubleshoots, and performs packet and protocol analysis for both wired and wireless networks. Version 6.8 of the OmniPeek release has been designed to include expert analysis of IPv6 and to support automated monitoring. This ensures faster detection of any kind of misconfigurations or anomalies, thereby leading to accelerated IPv6 rollouts. Also included in the OmniPeek release is the Timeline dashboard which delivers a robust range of real-time statistics, faster data rewinding, as well as quick search and forensic analysis of the data collected.
Jim Frey, managing research director at Enterprise Management Associates, said ,“The better and faster you can recognize, characterize and troubleshoot an application, the more in-tune you are going to be with business priorities. With this release, WildPackets (News - Alert) has added several new features into the OmniPeek solution that will improve visibility into application performance, including current and historical contexts, for more effective operational assurance."
WildPackets’ latest version of the OmniPeek network analyzer also simplifies aggregated packet captures from different locations on the network as it conducts packet de-duplication to ensure smaller capture files and reduction in clutter during the troubleshooting process.
