WildPackets and Gigamon Partner to Provide Complete Troubleshooting and Analysis Coverage for 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) Networks


First solution to deliver unlimited full line-rate analysis

Walnut Creek, Calif. – April 29, 2008 – WildPackets® Inc., a leading provider of network and application analysis solutions, and Gigamon, manufacturer of the GigaVUE family of Data Access Switches, today announced a technology and reseller partnership. Under the agreement, WildPackets will offer a combined solution that leverages intelligent pattern match filtering in Gigamon’s GigaVUE data access switch with Omnipliance, WildPackets’ Distributed Network Recorder, to provide organizations the control needed to analyze and optimize 10GbE deployments.

Though 10GbE provides ample bandwidth to handle increasing network loads and various services, like any other network it needs to be properly managed, monitored and secured. The WildPackets and Gigamon solution brings real-time visibility and expert analysis to 10GbE networks.

“While other offerings can only analyze short bursts of 10GbE traffic, the combined power of WildPackets and Gigamon delivers unlimited full line-rate analysis,” said Tony Barbagallo, vice president of marketing at WildPackets.

Combining WildPackets’ Omnipliance – a turn-key appliance that runs WildPackets’ OmniEngine and sends real-time analytics and monitoring results to a central OmniPeek console – with the 1U GigaVUE data access switch gives network engineers immediate real-time visibility into their high-speed networks for analysis, application monitoring, and VoIP troubleshooting.

“If you’re using a 10GbE network, undoubtedly the network is a vital asset for your business,” said Tom Gallatin, vice president of marketing and sales at Gigamon. “In addition to providing access for other security and compliance tools, GigaVUE combined with Omnipliance provides a combined troubleshooting and analysis solution and the best real-time visibility into the 10GbE network available today.”
