WildPackets Launches GigaPeek NX™

New Product Features High-Speed Analysis, Monitoring, and Reporting

Walnut Creek, CA - September 10, 2003

WildPackets Inc., innovators in advancing network analysis technology, today announced the release of GigaPeek NX. This high-performing analyzer is a fully integrated hardware and software solution uniquely designed to provide real-time troubleshooting on high-speed gigabit networks.

GigaPeek NX includes a Gigabit Analyzer Card (GAC) featuring on-board packet slicing, time-stamping, filtering, and packet processing. Using its precision hardware time-stamping, the GAC merges both streams of the full-duplex traffic prior to software analysis. GigaPeek NX’s real-time expert analysis and comprehensive protocol decodes help identify and troubleshoot application and network problems, including server degradation, worm-attacks, and misbehaving applications. Historical analysis can be viewed through a variety of graph options.

"WildPackets has a strong history of high-quality, and high-performance network visibility tools," said Dan Keldsen, senior analyst at Delphi Group in Boston, Massachusetts. "Proactive management of investments in gigabit network infrastructure is necessary to reap the business benefits of this investment - and WildPackets once again demonstrates their strengths in addressing the unique needs of this environment."
