When portability counts, the GOSS is the unit you need to manage and troubleshoot gigabit or 10 GbE problems throughout your network. The GOSS includes Network Instruments’ own Gen2 Capture Card for complete and accurate gigabit and 10 GbE captures.
The GOSS includes a 64-bit core, maximizing analysis with faster processing and larger capture buffers.
Portable, Compact Design
- Fully loaded, the GOSS weighs 25 lbs (11.3 kg)
- With case, the GOSS weighs less than 50 lbs (22.7 kg)
- Designed for convenience in travel and shipping
- Includes all necessary hardware and software for real-time, wire-speed analysis
Complete Gigabit and 10 GbE Analysis
- Full-duplex, wire-speed capture
- Real-time metrics and a comprehensive Expert system
- Provides an independent look at data flow
- Passive view — will not interfere with the network
High-Performance
- Ensure accurate captures with Gen2 technology
- Utilize internal Expert probe for collaboration with other consoles
Gigabit Configuration
- Switch between optical or copper links with SFP technology
- Monitor up to four full-duplex links independently or in aggregate
- Gain visibility into trunked gigabit links
10 GbE Configuration
- Provides sustained 10 GbE full-duplex capture at line rate
- Functions such as filtering and statistics are performed directly on the card
- Provides real-time Expert analysis for 10 GbE networks
The GOSS includes the Gen2 Capture Card and a 10/100/1000 adapter card for complete, wire-speed, full-duplex packet capture, network statistics, trending, real-time Expert, web-based reporting, and an SNMP management system for your network.
Includes an nTAP to Ensure Complete Full-Duplex Captures
The analyzer has the ability to perform full-duplex, wire-speed analysis for copper and optical fiber networks. All configurations of the GOSS include an internal nTAP that provides a copy of all traffic to the analyzer. In case of gigabit over fiber (i.e. optical) networks, the nTAP splits the optical signal, providing one signal to the network and the other signal to the analyzer. In the case of gigabit over copper, the nTAP electronically duplicates the gigabit signal—sending one signal to the network, and the other signal to the analyzer. With an nTAP the data flow always remains unaltered and uninterrupted.
In the case of the 10 GbE GOSS, it can include an internal optical nTAP but copper TAPs are sold separately.
Continuous Visibility Into Your Network
The GOSS not only stands on its own as a complete network analyzer but also connects as a probe to any Expert Observer or Observer Suite console for advanced troubleshooting across the entire network. With the Network Instruments Distributed Network Analysis (NI-DNA™) architecture all Network Instruments’ products can link to each other for complete monitoring and real-time analysis across multiple locations. For example, use the GOSS to retrieve data from any remote probe or to allow a network administrator at another site to access local data. The GOSS not only offers complete portability but also maintains uninterrupted visibility into your entire network.
Proven Analysis Metrics
Real-Time Statistics such as network summary, bandwidth utilization, top talkers, and switch statistics (See the Video)
Packet Capture and Decode features such as nanosecond resolution, a 124 GB memory buffer (max), and over 550 protocols decoded
Network Trending and Reporting features such as network trending dashboard display, efficiency history and comparison analysis reports
Gigabit Observer Suite System Requirements
The GOSS is a complete analyzer, includes a copy of Observer Suite, and does not require any additional hardware or software. Additional probes (hardware or software) can connect to any Gigabit Observer Suite System (sold separately).
