Net Optics, a provider of Intelligent Access and Monitoring Architecture, announced the upcoming Spyke family of Network Monitoring and Performance Management solutions, offering powerful new levels of application intelligence to fortify network access, visibility and real-time monitoring, and extending Net Optics’ Access Switching capabilities.

With Spyke, small and medium-size businesses can finally afford a solution that unites Performance Management with Intelligent Access to forge a total network monitoring and access architecture, extending visibility and control to the critical application layer.

Enterprises can use Spyke in tandem with existing performance and availability solutions to plug visibility holes in their monitoring infrastructure.

This approach gives IT Operations, application support teams and network engineers the ability to detect and fix network problems using true application identification and analysis before business and/or service delivery are degraded.

Spyke’s key capabilities include:

1. Comprehensive Visibility: Spyke’s visibility spans high-level Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to low-level packet capture for quick problem detection, isolation, diagnosis and resolution. Spyke’s easily deployed and intuitive GUI enables users to drill down quickly from high-level metrics to granular details of network traffic, pinpointing root causes of performance problems and restoring critical business services in the shortest time possible.

2. Application Intelligence: Spyke provides application-specific insights that are critical to timely root cause analysis. Examples include identification of actual user names, individual VoIP calls, and deep visibility of email traffic.

3. Real-Time Monitoring: Built to address critical business needs with the ability to support gigabit speeds, Spyke provides KPIs on a sub-minute level.
