The migration to virtual servers within enterprise networks is causing major headaches for IT teams, according to WildPackets® Inc., a leading provider of network and application analysis solutions. The company has identified the top five pain points for IT managers when handling the capture and analysis of virtual traffic, including:

‘Invisible traffic’ never crosses any network segment, making it difficult to capture and analyze
Engineers have little or no visibility into the traffic among virtual servers
It is virtually impossible to tune applications and traffic that engineers can’t see
Statistics-based network performance data is superficial – it might indicate there’s a problem but it doesn’t help in solving the problem
Many analysis tools put a heavy load on the server, slowing down other critical applications for users

“Traffic that is traversing virtual networks is a problem for any IT team attempting to analyze and troubleshoot network issues. They simply can’t manage traffic that is invisible,” said Tony Barbagallo, vice president of sales and marketing at WildPackets. “Virtualization is becoming more of a standard within enterprises and if you don’t have a solution in place to handle this blind spot on networks, there could be serious consequences.”

WildPackets OmniVirtual eliminates the blind spot created by invisible traffic. It enables data center engineers to use the powerful analysis features and graphical charts of the OmniPeek analyzer to troubleshoot, optimize, benchmark, and secure virtual servers and virtual applications.
