WildPackets Premier Partner Lands Major Healthcare Contract

OASYS Wins with High Performance Features and Support

Walnut Creek, CA - January 6, 2004

WildPackets Inc., innovators in advancing network analysis technology, announced that premier partner Open Access Systems Corporation (OASYS) has been awarded the contract to supply Ethernet hardware and software to a major East Coast healthcare insurance provider. WildPackets’ portable and rackmount GigaPeek NX full-duplex Gigabit network analyzer and Omni³ consoles and engines were selected after two weeks of intensive product evaluation of all offerings by the buyer. The products will be used to troubleshoot the network, particularly application reaction at high network utilization, and to improve daily operations.

"Omni³ was the only real-time distributed solution that fit the criteria, and the sustained real-time capture and analysis possible in GigaPeek NX made it a clear win over competing products. Total cost of ownership (TCO) for such high performance hardware and software and the remarkable responsiveness that WildPackets displays were key factors that sealed the decision," states Chris Johnson of OASYS. The customer serves 23 million members and seeks innovative uses of technology to enhance service for their members.
