Fluke Networks has launched OptiView Management Suite, a new offering for network engineers and managers that provides network view by combining monitoring with real-time analysis to manage performance and troubleshoot problems.

According to Fluke Networks, the new offering includes components such as, OptiView Management Appliance with OptiView Reporter for network and application monitoring, trending and reporting; NetAlly Application Advisor that facilitates active application analysis, monitoring and troubleshooting from multiple sites and VLANs.

In addition, the offering’s in-built OptiView NetFlow allows enterprise-wide monitoring of NetFlow and IPFIX data for application visibility and troubleshooting. The Network Time Machine allows monitoring and analysis of links and applications with back-in-time forensics. Its ClearSight Analyser enables application-centric packet analysis and troubleshooting, while OptiView Portable Network Analyser provides portable network and application troubleshooting and analysis anywhere on the network.

Gary Ger, vice president of marketing at Fluke Networks, said: A key component of OptiView Management Suite is its ability to customise the offer according to a network engineer’s daily workflow:  monitor, analyse, troubleshoot. Each day, engineers want to monitor the status of their network and key devices and conduct daily proactive management and reporting tasks.

“If problems are identified, the network engineer transitions into analysis mode:  isolating and resolving problems, first from their desk, then, if the problem still isn’t resolved, troubleshooting from wherever on the network makes the most sense. OptiView Management Suite is the only solution available that has all the tools to support this workflow in a single solution.
