OmniEngine Enterprise

Distributed 24/7 Network Analyzer and Monitor

Designed for data centers, network operations centers and large application servers, OmniEngine Enterprise extends network analysis capabilities through distribution to any network segment or function, even to remote locations. Each OmniEngine can perform data capture and network analysis on multiple network interfaces, and over all network topologies, including wireless (802.11), 10 Gigabit and Gigabit networks and WAN links. This product is best deployed in large scale, distributed networks that include remote locations, providing continuous network monitoring and analysis without the need for local network engineering support. To completely cover your network analysis needs, one or more OmniEngines should be deployed at each remote location, with every server farm, and within the network operations core. 

Features & Benefits

Technology depth: not just packet analysis, but multi-layer expert analysis

To accelerate troubleshooting, administrators need to know what has gone wrong, not just that something has gone wrong. WildPackets’ Packet Stream analytics accelerates troubleshooting for finding and fixing problems fast. The WildPackets Expert system is industryleading technology based on evaluating packet streams, not statistical thresholds, providing precise, real-time analysis of problems facing today’s networks.

Distributed expert analysis, not distributed packet capture

Low cost solutions either stream packets back to a local software analyzer or send trace files back to the network engineer post-capture. Distributed expert analysis, however, means that you don’t have to have a separate management network or bring down your WAN while troubleshooting a remote segment. Fault analysis solutions must be bandwidth-efficient, providing administrators with the real-time information they need without competing for resources with mission critical traffic.

Independent 24/7 analysis

For increased reliability, OmniEngine runs as a 24/7/365 service on standard Windows platforms. To accelerate analysis while minimizing bandwidth consumption, OmniEngine independently performs analysis locally and transmits only the data requested by the console. Independent analysis allows the engine to perform the analysis 24/7, even when no console is attached, and provides the maximum flexibility.

Scalability

OmniEngine is unique in allowing administrators to monitor multiple segments simultaneously—an important capability when administrators know there’s a problem but don’t know where it is. The OmniEngine also allows multiple consoles running independent sessions. The scalability of OmniEngine lowers cost of ownership, increases IT efficiency and provides fast ROI.

Application Analysis

OmniEngine introduces new, fully integrated Expert tools for application analysis. Unlike simplistic tools that merely report response times, OmniPeek presents detailed data views and graphical analysis that enable network engineers to understand the context in which application results are being reported. As a result, engineers gain an unprecedented understanding of how networks and applications are performing, and how application performance is affecting end users. WildPackets is a founding member of the Apdex industry consortium, whose mission is to provide IT organizations with metrics that provide real insight into application performance and user satisfaction. OmniPeek reports industry-standard Apdex scores for applications active on the network, so IT engineers can measure application performance against business objectives.

Network Forensics Analysis

To be effective, a network forensics solution must address data capture, data discovery, and data analysis with products that are economical, scalable, and easy-to-use. The OmniPeek Product Family gives network engineers the powerful, affordable, and easy-to-use network forensics solution they need for rapidly analyzing forensics data, without requiring investments in special hardware and without bogging down network performance with large data transfers.

A truly distributed solution, OmniEngine can capture and analyze data at all critical network nodes in all topologies simultaneously.

Voice and Video over IP Analysis

Building on WildPackets’ award-winning network and voice and video over IP analysis technologies, OmniEngine Enterprise performs real-time network and voice and video over IP analyses. Network engineers can rapidly troubleshoot faults – even faults occurring at remote locations – by using OmniEngine Enterprise to capture and analyze voice and video over IP media and signaling, and then OmniPeek to view real-time results.

10 Gigabit, Gigabit and WAN Support

OmniEngine Enterprise can capture and analyze traffic from 10 Gigabit, Gigabit and WAN segments using WildPackets 10 Gigabit, Gigabit and WAN analyzer cards to deliver higher performance for mission critical troubleshooting on today’s high-speed wide area networks.
