Distributed Analysis
Distributed analysis is an essential component for today’s enterprise network managers. Traveling to different sites to analyze activity or troubleshoot problems wastes valuable time and money, and slows down the troubleshooting process.
Deploying Network Instruments® Ethernet probes at the network edge provides administrators with continuous visibility—offering real-time analysis and faster problem resolution. And since the entire Observer family is based on the Network Instruments Distributed Network Analysis (NI-DNA™) architecture—it is simple to monitor all segments of the network simultaneously, from any location, through a single user interface.

“Comprehensive visibility is crucial to stay on top of the network. With Observer, it’s like looking in 60 directions at once. The IT team couldn’t possibly be as effective if we didn’t have that many ‘eyes.’”
