Network Time Machine

Further product information.

Strategically located at varying points and segments in an enterprise network, the NTM monitors and captures every single packet. Unlike some products which rely on a generic network interface card, the NTM employs a sophisticated FPGA processor based line card. The card can capture four GbE links (or two 10 GbE links on the 10 GbE version) continuously without ever dropping a packet, even at full line rate with filtering and trigger functions fully enabled. The captured data are monitored extensively -- relevant LAN metric, graphs statistics and alerts are accessible to NTM users through a powerful, but simple-to-use graphical user interface. During real-time monitoring, reports can be created and viewed.

The NTM solution can capture, store, index, categorize, archive and recall up to 8 TBs (Standard) or 6,1 TBs (Premium) of network data. Higher storage capabilities are available including 20TB extrenal storage array for Standard version and 6,1 TB extrenal storage array for Premium version.

PROTOCOL ANALYZER INTEGRATION

The award-winning ClearSight Analyzer (CSA) is integrated with the NTM, providing unparalleled protocol analysis and decode capabilities. The NTM can be put into CSA mode and turned into a standalone protocol analyzer that is not limited by the size of the analyzer's capture buffer like many traditional analyzers.
CSA offers complete Triple-Play support, providing analysis tools for most video and voice codecs. It allows for the reconstruction and playback of both video and audio streams, and instantly identifies network problems and issues.

NETWORK TIME MACHINE ATLAS

A key feature of Atlas and the NTM platform is the ability to capture, index, and classify complex network information. At the heart of the index and classification engine is a powerful RDMS (relational database management system) which crunches and makes sense of volumes (many terabytes worth) of network data in near real time.
This information is then used to create unique views that are critically valuable to assisting network engineers and administrators to proactively manage and service their networks. These views are shown in the Atlas workspace, and are easily accessible by a few mouse clicks.

Atlas is currently designed to support four main upper layer application types: HTTP, H.323, SIP, and RTP. Future revisions of the soft ware will support additional applications and functionality.

Performance bottlenecks and issues are often very difficult to detect. They are even more difficult to characterize and remedy. Atlas provides a wealth of performance data, including network latency and jitter, which are key metric for understanding multimedia IP performance; service/application
response times and network throughput are also important statistics to gauge how good the QoS experience is with applications such as H.323 and SIP.
