Solution for Help Desk
Engineers. Improved visibility, faster problem
resolution and scalability at a low cost
Networks have become highly complex and
distributed, making the need for simple, summary-level data
that much more important to network engineers and IT
manager. WatchPoint addresses these needs with a
simple, web-based approach that provides extreme flexibility
in data access and data reporting. With WatchPoint,
you can aggregate network data from multiple sources
anywhere in your network, all in a single, web-based
dashboard, freeing you from your desk and eliminating the
need for multiple, stand-alone applications.
Monitoring and Reporting of Global Enterprise Networks
WatchPoint brings the data collection and Expert
analysis capabilities of the OmniPeek Product Family to an
entirely new level by offering unprecedented visibility into
network traffic trends and behavior across the entire
enterprise. WatchPoint provides 24x7 accessibility and
reporting from all WildPackets OmniEngines deployed in the
network, and aggregates data from these distributed
OmniEngines for flexible and customizable enterprise-wide
reporting. Now you can see your top talkers and top
protocols worldwide, or by country, or region or however you
would like your report to be structured. WatchPoint
leverages the rich statistical data generated by each
OmniEngine, raising the bar on traditional flow-based
monitoring solutions.
NetFlow and sFlow Support
WatchPoint also supports data collection from all
NetFlow and sFlow-based network devices, providing
additional information on top talkers and overall network
utilization per network node, making WatchPoint the most
complete solution for the monitoring and reporting needs of
any organization.
Web-based for Immediate Access
As the demand for network services accelerates and IT
staffs shrink, it is increasingly important to gain access
to critical network data anytime, anywhere. WatchPoint
provides a simiple, web-based interface so network engineers
and IT staff can access reports from just about anywhere.
Away from your desk and paged about an unexpected spike in
network traffic? Just get on the network, log into
your customized WatchPoint dashboard and view the latest
network statistics. If your dashboard isn't currently
configured to view data from the offending network segment,
simply add a new "gadget" to your dashboard, or reconfigure
the parameters of an existing gadget and immediately begin
receiving the data you need.

- Monitor the entire network from a
single dashboard anywhere there is network connectivity,
responding immediately to network trends before they
become problems

OmniEngine distributed network analysis deployments into
a centrally managed monitoring solution for distributed
enterprise networks
