Customer Pain Point:

The need to consolidate the number of network analysis products used by the company.

WildPackets' Solution:

OmniPeek Product Family

Customer Quote:

"I can look at wireless, I can look at Gigabit, and I can look at regular Ethernet without having to use three different products. Other products say you can do this, but they don’t work. OmniPeek does."

The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company Uses WildPackets’ OmniPeek

For the world’s largest tire company, staying number one means continually creating the best tires for a wide variety of applications, from passenger and racing cars to construction machinery and jet aircraft. Like any industry leader, Goodyear has increasingly relied on its computer network and data center infrastructure to streamline research, development, and production.

In the spring of 2004, Goodyear’s IT management launched an effort to consolidate the number of products it used, and network analysis products were part of that effort. WildPackets was on a short list of products evaluated as a way to consolidate multiple analyses, monitoring, and troubleshooting functions under one platform.

After testing over the summer, the RD&E team deployed WildPackets’ OmniPeek console and OmniEngine for Ethernet and wireless networks, and RMONGrabber to relay RMON information to the OmniPeek console. The remote engines perform analysis locally while forwarding information on demand from the OmniPeek console, which is where the user evaluates analytical results during troubleshooting.

"I can use OmniPeek to quickly narrow a problem's scope, regardless of whether the problem is local or remote, from the data link to application layer. Certain network problems require quick analysis at a granular level. OmniPeek gives me that level of detail quickly."

"Providing high-availability services on our network requires fast, easy-to-use, diagnostic tools that allow rapid isolation of specific types of traffic for detailed analyses. The OmniPeek Product Family allows me to diagnose traffic in every segment of our network without leaving my office."

"With the OmniPeek console and OmniEngine, we can have multiple users go in there and do multiple captures, so there’s more flexibility."
