OmniPeek Product Family

The OmniPeek product family offers both portable and distributed solutions for troubleshooting and optimizing enterprise networks and applications. The OmniPeek product family is comprised of OmniPeek network analyzers and consoles, as well as distributed OmniEngines, which analyze data at remote locations on the network. With its open APIs and a growing family of plug-ins, OmniPeek is uniquely designed to meet the ever-changing needs of network engineers and system administrators responsible for the convergence of data, voice and video over wired and wireless networks, as well as performance optimization of mission-critical applications such as ERP, Web, Email and virtualized environments.

Customer quote

"Prior to implementing OmniPeek we often had difficulty understanding what was taking place within our network. Our IT manager was spending an abundance of time troubleshooting problems and enforcing compliance," said Ken Kerner, information security officer at the EPA. "Since deploying OmniPeek, our IT team has a translucent view into our network. Should something arise, we are able to fix it in real-time and analyze how to prevent such occurrences in the future. We can now reinstate critical services while maximizing network uptime and increasing user satisfaction."
