Description

What is high-performance packet capture?

When outages occur, the impact can be serious. You need to be one step ahead with real-time, actionable information to identify and diagnose problems before your business is impacted. Unfortunately, many network packet capture tools take slices of data that can omit the most meaningful data. Or if the data is captured, it can take a large file transfer in order to conduct analysis, exacerbating network performance problems. You need a better way to ensure that packet-level information is always available for troubleshooting and for granular, real-time and back-in-time analysis.
It used to take us hours to resolve network issues. Now, thanks to Riverbed, we can do it in minutes.
