LETTER FROM THE EDITOR

Happy New Year and welcome to the third edition of the Peeks newsletter. 2009 has started off with a bang for us. Our flagship network analyzer, OmniPeek Enterprise received a perfect score of 5.0 from Craig Mathias of Network World, as well as being nominated for Network Computing’s Product of the Year in the “Testing and Monitoring” category. Please show your support for OmniPeek and vote today. Winners are chosen by your votes – voting closes on March 5th, 2009.

Many of you asked for recordings of our webinars. I’m happy to announce that we now have 4 of our most popular available as OnDemand Webcasts – including December’s Application vs. Network – The Fight is On!. Please keep the feedback coming and let us know what topics you’d like us to cover in future webinars. In February we’ll be offering Forensic Analysis for Network Security at 8:30 AM PST (11:30 AM EST) on February 11th, 2009.

This month we’re featuring our Total Wireless Analysis Solution – is your wireless solution giving you an accurate picture of what’s in your network? Download this demo (or request an evaluation) complete with 3 of our extensions and try it in your environment to see the traffic you’re missing. (We’ll be featuring the Virtualization How to Kit in our April newsletter.)

Sincerely,

Eden Hensley
Director of Marketing Communication

WIRELESS ANALYSIS WITHOUT AN ARRAY
OF WIRELESS SENSORS

Wireless networking is complex, but there’s no reason why your monitoring and analysis solution needs to be. Did you know that most solutions only capture traffic in one channel? If you use three non-overlapping channels in the b/g range, your solution is failing to capture 67% of the traffic. With increased threats to security, can you afford to only see a third of your traffic in real-time?

With this kit, give yourself peace of mind by learning how you can troubleshoot your network without deploying an array of wireless sensors. Experience the WildPackets Total Wireless Solution with OmniPeek Enterprise in your network and sleep soundly at night. Download our informative kit. Or request a 30-day evaluation.

FEATURED CUSTOMER

Healthcare professionals are under increasing pressure to see more patients and maximize billable hours. At the same time, they’re expected to update electronic patient records in real-time for quality care and expect seamless access to their applications and data, wherever they are – demanding that you account for performance variables between the access points (APs) they roam across on their travels.

“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 Omni Product Family allows me to diagnose traffic in every segment of our network without leaving my office.”
—David Kelly, Network Manager, Baxter Regional Medical Center
