Savvius announced a new release of the company's OmniPeek software suite to be available next month.
All versions of OmniPeek 9.0 add a number of new capabilities including improved application awareness, geographical identification of network nodes, and significant updates to protocol decodes. The OmniPeek 9.0 capture engine running on an Omnipliance now supports PTP packet time synchronization and enhanced analytics performance.
OmniPeek 9.0 features application awareness built on Deep Packet Inspection technology licensed from Procera Networks. OmniPeek 9.0 includes an instance of Procera's Network Application Visibility Library to power a new application dashboard and provide real-time, layer 7 classification of network packets to rapidly identify mobile, social network, file sharing, and web applications.
OmniPeek 9.0's application dashboard goes beyond simply displaying ports and protocols, instead providing network professionals a clear understanding of applications running on the network. Both summary and per-application statistics are visible during real-time packet analysis or forensically in an application-centric view.
"Every new initiative and trend in business, from cloud to BYOD to the IoT, depends on networks to provide high levels of performance and stability while simultaneously putting them under increased strain," says Jay Botelho, Director of Product Management, Savvius. "This situation makes great tools for network capture, analytics, forensics, and troubleshooting absolutely essential. That's where OmniPeek and Omnipliances come in. OmniPeek 9.0 is a major new release, advancing capabilities and performance of Omnipliances and OmniPeek."
"Organizations including Apple, Cisco, and Microsoft use Savvius OmniPeek to quickly track down and solve network issues," said Larry Zulch, President, Savvius, "We provide our customers with the tools they need to maintain their network and application performance."
OmniPeek 9.0 will be available in May 2015.
