Meru introduces new forensic approach to wireless network troubleshooting
(Worldwide Computer Products News Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) Meru Networks, a specialist in network infrastructure solutions, announced on 9 June the release of E(z)RF Network Manager 2.0, a wireless LAN management system designed to assist managers and help desk staff to troubleshoot wireless networks and resolve problems.
The company said that the application works by offering continuous monitoring (rather than time based 'snapshots') of all events that occur on the network, capturing and storing all key over-the-air events and client state transitions, to greatly simplify the job of managing wireless LANs.
The application includes an inference engine that automatically correlates information across all recorded events and generates inferences about potential client and infrastructure issues, enabling pro-active identification of those issues, possibly before users become aware of any problem.
E(z)RF Network Manager 2.0 is available immediately. Software supporting 50 APs (Access Points) is priced at USD4,995, and requires a Meru SA1000 Service Appliance priced at USD6,995. A visualisation package providing network-wide heatmaps is available as an add-on option, priced at USD4,995 for 50 APs.
