Announcing Our Winter Webinar Series

Posted on November 6, 2012 by wildpackets.

We’ve got a full Winter scheduled this year. We’ll be reviewing four real-world use cases of our Omni Distributed Analysis Platform, your network’s health, as well as scalability for distributed network analysis. Be sure to reserve your virtual seats today!

Thursday, November 8, 2012, 8:30 am PST: Network Performance and Latency with Omni Distributed Analysis Platform
When a business’ modern networks fail to get critical information through on time, or too slowly, it slows down the work flow. Join us in this webinar to see how the Omni Distributed Analysis Platform uses total network visibility to easily help you find four common network performance issues.
Wednesday, November 14, 2012, 8:30 AM PST: Network Health for the Holidays
As the holidays approach, you’re not the only one who needs to stay healthy. Regardless of your business, this is the busiest time of year, so your network also needs to be running in top form. Join us for a review in monitoring the key vital signs of your network – kind of like a flu shot, without the sting.
Wednesday, December 19, 2012, 8:30 AM PST: Scalability and OmniPeek 7.0
Whether you’re talking network speeds, data storage, or highly distributed networks, scalability is the name of the game in distributed network analysis. WildPackets is leading the charge with its suite of hardware and software products. Join us to see how WildPackets continues to push the boundaries in high-speed, highly distributed network analysis and troubleshooting.

Interop New York: The Countdown Begins!

Posted on October 2, 2012 by wildpackets.

We’re a day away from the Interop Conference in New York, and we are excited to be in the Big Apple! The expo runs from Wednesday, October 3 through Thursday, October 4 and our booth number is 737.

This year, we’ll be demonstrating the latest features of our OmniPeek Network Analyzer for Wireless v7 which was introduced during the Wireless Field Day on September 12. These features include:

Advanced Roaming Detection: Ability to identify when wireless clients roam from AP to AP to accurately report on the timing of these transitions for better analysis.
Latency Measurement: Reporting one and two-way latency for network flows to see when the user experience is degraded
Visibility Enhancements: Enhanced Compass dashboard that provides network engineers with the ability to correlate detailed analytical results, including WildPackets Expert analysis.
OmniPeek Remote Assistant: A new option that allows non-technical end users to capture and collect data from their workstations and return the data to network engineers for deeper troubleshooting.

If you are attending Interop, be sure to stop by our booth for a demo. Put our experts to the test with your network challenges; we’ll be happy to show how the Omni Distributed Analysis Platform helps large or small networks.

Wireless Field Day Wrap-Up: The Who, What, Where and When

Last Wednesday, for the first time, we participated in a Tech Field Day event. We opened up our Walnut Creek offices to 13 wireless industry experts and active bloggers to take part in the third Wireless Field Day . We had a great time getting to know some of the independent thought leaders in the wireless industry. Stephen Foskett of Tech Field Day hosted the event, and he streamed our presentations live at techfieldday.com. If you missed it, not to worry—Steven was good enough to upload all of the presentations online – check them out here!

The day kicked off with a brief introduction of the afternoon’s events by Vincent Sartor, our Director of Engineering. Then, Senior Program Manager Mandana Javaheri took the visiting bloggers through a background story about WildPackets and how we came to be where we are today. Check out Mandana in action:

To wrap-up the afternoon, our Director of Product Management Jay Botelho introduced everyone to the new wireless features in OmniPeek 7.0, including visibility into the Compass Live dashboard with its new wireless signal strength view and Expert event graphing, multi-channel wireless analysis using 3 802.11n 3-stream adapters, roaming detection to aid in today’s ever more mobile environments, and OmniPeek Remote Assistant, a new capability that allows remote data collection to be initiated by anyone running a computer, technical capabilities not required. The presentation was based on analyzing the wireless traffic within the conference room, where, with 13 bloggers all with laptops and phones firing, we had plenty of information to work with! The interaction throughout the afternoon was stimulating, and the comments and suggestions from the WFD3 delegates invaluable. Check out Jay’s presentation:
