The Sniffer® Analysis software suite provides a direct connection to nGenius® InfiniStream® appliances for highly optimized forensic analysis and packet data mining to fully exploit the valuable information contained within network packets. The Sniffer Analysis software suite can be deployed on a standalone basis or in concert with the comprehensive nGenius Service Assurance Solution. When deployed in a standalone mode, Sniffer Analysis provides unsurpassed segment-by-segment deep packet analysis and troubleshooting capabilities by leveraging any number of nGenius InfiniStream appliances deployed across the network. The Sniffer Analysis software suite provides a powerful view deep into IP network packets, revealing granular information about network and application interactions and response time and latency metrics.

All nGenius InfiniStream appliances continuously capture and record packet streams on critical network links so that when a subtle or intermittent problem occurs, you can quickly go back in time to discover the root cause.

Sniffer Analysis software analysis tools provide the flexibility to:

• Investigate post-incident, needle-in-the-haystack issues
• Use a direct-connect graphical data mining interface to quickly and intuitively search through Terabytes of packet and statistical history or drill down to the specific conversations using nGenius Performance Manager
• Focus down to micro-second granularity and launch a packet decode for the most subtle problems
• Reduce the mean time to repair (MTTR) for reported problems
• Minimize network impact of packet analysis with a superior architecture for high-performance, on-appliance packet analysis
