These cost effective 1, 10, 20, 40 Gigabit (1-40Gbps) stream to disk data recorder/packet analyzers perform critical network analysis at the packet level, allowing quicker identification of the root cause. By finding the “needle in the hay stack” they greatly speed your analysis in identifying the issue at hand.

AUSTIN, Texas – February 7, 2012 – Gearbit, a comprehensive network tools and service company, today announced the release of its award-winning gearbox protocol analyzer product line. Gearbox is a cost effective and high-performance network solution of protocol analyzers equipped with intelligent network adapters, that capture, analyze and transmit in real-time (at speeds from 1 to 40 Gbps), with zero packet loss. The packet engine then inspects packets in the network stream, examining them for potential issues, and provides detailed anomaly alarms. The notification anomaly log entry can be retained for the subsequent analysis, or forwarded to a central depository/ sys-log server for event management. These high performance analyzers can be controlled from a Web interface for immediate access.

“Our customers tell us the gearbox protocol analyzer has been a huge help to network analysts needing deep packet inspection for potential issues and predefined anomalies,” said Ray Tompkins, founder of Gearbit. “These new protocol analyzer models will provide additional flexibility for networking professionals, allowing them to customize a network analysis solution for their specific technical and financial needs.”

 

Unique Needs

Not all networks are alike, each having their own unique design, network equipment and applications. Even the way a network is deployed varies, making the protocol analyzing equipment and software crucial for managing the needs and uses of each one. As network advancements continue, including moving most network applications to the cloud, design changes can require more processing to be done either at the client end or within the cloud itself.
