OmniFlow Collector

The OmniFlow Collector appliance includes everything needed to perform the key WatchPoint functions.

It collects OmniFlow data from multiple network recorders and stores the results for subsequent query by the WatchPoint server to be displayed via any supported web browser.

OmniFlow data is a rich set of network-based statistics unlike that from any other "flow-based" technology. OmniFlow leverages the analytical power of WildPackets OmniEngine network probes, TimeLine and Omnipliance network recorders, providing not just the traditional "flow-based" information on ports and nodes, but adding Expert analysis results based on real-time network analysis. WildPackets Experts automatically identify network anomalies as they happen, at whatever layer of the OSI model, and correlate this information with traditional "flow-based" data like utilization, nodes and protocols. WildPackets VoIP analysis provides a complete set of VoIP statistics for all of the calls on your network, with drill down into each and every call, all while continuing to monitor the network for traditional data network anomalies. With OmniFlow data you'll see not only the spike in your utilization, but the possible causes of the anomaly as well, all from the same network monitoring dashboard.

As the number of distinct network segments that you wish to monitor grows, additional OmniFlow Collectors can be deployed to maximize scalability and performance. Only one WatchPoint Server is needed regardless of the size of the network being monitored.

• Packet-based statistics
  • Throughput
  • Utilization
  • Errors
