WildPackets Delivers Watchful Eye for IT Managers

WatchPoint provides centralized monitoring for enterprise networks

Walnut Creek, Calif. - March 03, 2008

WildPackets, Inc., a leading provider of network and application analysis solutions, today launched WatchPoint, a Web-based monitoring and reporting solution that gives IT managers and engineers complete visibility over highly complex and distributed networks.

WatchPoint complements the OmniPeek product family of network analysis solutions by aggregating statistical information from multiple sources, including OmniEngines, as well as common network devices that support NetFlow and sFlow. WatchPoint allows IT staff to monitor the entire network from a single dashboard and respond immediately to network issues before they become problems. Now IT managers no longer require multiple stand-alone applications to monitor network traffic across the entire enterprise.

Additional benefits of WatchPoint include:

* Collects and summarizes data from WildPackets OmniEngines, NetFlow-supported devices and sFlow-supported devices

* Delivers, aggregates and displays statistical data from OmniEngines that is not available from NetFlow and sFlow-supported devices

* Supports both IE and Firefox web browsers

* Includes the following analysis gadgets: Network utilization / RangeMap, Geographic Map, TreeMap, Top Ports, Top Nodes and Top Collectors

* Provides centralized data collector management

* Role-based customizable dashboards

Executive quote

"In today's global organizations, network administrators must have visibility into every aspect of their network in order to resolve potential problems quickly," said Tony Barbagallo, vice president of marketing and sales at WildPackets. "We developed WatchPoint specifically to give the unified view IT groups need to ensure network performance across the entire organization."

WatchPoint will be commercially available in the second quarter of 2008.  For more information or to purchase any of the WatchPoint products, please contact sales@wildpackets.com or 1-925-937-3200.
