Building on WildPackets’ award-winning network analysis technology, OmniEngine performs real-time network analysis on traffic from one or more network interfaces, including Ethernet, 802.11 a/b/g/n wireless, Gigabit, 10 Gigabit, and WAN. OmniEngine captures and analyzes data in real-time, and records data for post-capture analysis. With WildPackets OmniEngines, network engineers can rapidly troubleshoot faults – even faults occurring at remote locations - without leaving their office.
OmniEngine runs as a service on standard Windows platforms as well as on WildPackets' network recorder, Omnipliance, which is available in both Windows and Linux configurations. By installing an OmniEngine in each business location, a network engineering team gains real-time visibility into all its remote networks. Enterprises that cannot afford to staff each office with a network engineer can use OmniEngine to ensure that every business location receives the network engineering support it needs.
OmniEngine provides comprehensive network service analytics, including:
Application layer expert diagnoses, Apdex user satisfaction scores,
and application response time (ART) analysis
Expert Systems Diagnoses, including streams-based packet analysis and correlations between events and conversations
Statistical Analysis, including packet flows and details about
nodes, protocols, and sub-protocols
Packet Analysis, including protocol decodes and descriptions of
physical errors
VoIP Media analysis, including MOS and R-Factor scores, as well as Expert analysis for leading VoIP solutions such as Avaya, Cisco, and Megaco
Infrastructure Monitoring, including 24 x7 monitoring and analysis of network traffic; when network problems occur, OmniEngine executes SNMP traps, notifying SNMP monitoring systems such as HP OpenView of potential problems; because it captures the traffic that generated the error, OmniEngine provides network engineers the detailed information they need in order to investigate and resolve problems
While other packet analysis products offer only simplistic threshold-based alarms, OmniEngine offers a wealth of information and features that network engineers can use to rapidly troubleshoot faults.
When running on an Omnipliance, OmniEngine can capture and store hours or even days of network traffic for forensic analysis.
Distributed 24/7 Network Analyzer and Monitor
OmniEngine Enterprise extends the network analysis capabilities to
remote locations, performing data capture and network analysis on
multiple network interfaces, and over all network topologies, including
wireless (802.11), Gigabit networks and WAN links. This product is best
deployed in workgroups or at remote locations, providing continuous
network monitoring and analysis without the need for local network
engineering support. To completely cover your network analysis needs,
one or more OmniEngines should be deployed at each remote location,
with every server farm, and within the network operations core. more >>
Desktop Troubleshooting Engine
WildPackets’ OmniEngine Desktop is a Windows service that runs on
desktop computers and captures packets for analysis. OmniEngine
Desktop provides network engineers with the visibility into end user
computers they need in order to accelerate troubleshooting and to
maximize productivity. Packet captures can be initiated by network
engineers or Help Desk representatives running the OmniPeek
Analysis Console; alternatively, captures can be initiated automatically
when specific trigger conditions are met. Once a capture is complete,
network engineers can transfer the packets into OmniPeek for analysis.
OmniPeek’s wealth of analysis features, including 7-layer decodes and
Visual Expert analytics, make it easy to find and fix problems quickly. more >>
