ClearSight Launches Upgraded Network Time Machine

Tweet

ClearSight Networks said today that it’s expanded the capabilities of its “Network Time Machine.”

 

ClearSight also said that its newly released 6.5 version upgraded with the addition of “Atlas,” a time-based, historical analysis tool to capture, index, and archive all network traffic, and store it in a large RAID-based storage system.

 

NTM Distributed will be available with multi-user capabilities, allowing for up to four simultaneous users to access a single NTM probe, the company said.

 

The company said NTM uses enterprise-class Serial Attached SCSI drive technologies on the backend, as well as a RAID storage controller on the front end, providing unparalleled levels of performance and data protection. The addition of Atlas to the offering has enhanced its ability to analyze and categorize all Ethernet network traffic, according to the company.

 

“The NTM dramatically simplifies the approach to network troubleshooting,” said Sam Li, chief executive officer and co-founder of ClearSight Networks. “With advanced functionality and features, including the ability to monitor network data in real time while continuously capturing every single packet, our new NTM delivers industry-leading expertise to troubleshooting network environments, accelerating time to root-cause identification and problem resolution. With NTM, users can ensure the health and reliability of their networks by pinpointing problems and bottlenecks that competing solutions can not even see.”

 

The company officials said that bandwidth requirements for companies, especially in IT, is exploding rapidly and that they want long-term network capture appliances in conjunction with more traditional troubleshooting and monitoring tools. ClearSight said that the NTM has integrated the ClearSight Analyzer product with the capture appliance, providing network engineers and administrators with data mining and protocol analysis capabilities.

 

“NTT Marketing Act is an operating arm of Nippon Telegraph and Telephone, the largest carrier in Japan, and we have been using the ClearSight NTM product for nearly two years,” said Hidezou Shinbo, Section Manager, NTT Marketing Act. “Before we deployed the NTMs to our sites in Tokyo and Osaka, we found it difficult to pinpoint the cause of network issues, particularly those experienced by our teleconference service customers. The ClearSight NTM, however, enables us to determine the source of these problems, whether it is on the user, system, or network side. This capability has enabled NTT to exceed the service level agreements that we have set with our customers.”
