The Optrics Insider

Network Instruments, a leading provider of innovative analysis solutions for in-depth network intelligence and continuous availability, today announced the release of the GigaStor 2TE. The 2 terabyte appliance captures and stores every network packet and transaction for replay, troubleshooting, and reporting.

“GigaStor’s success has increased substantially as retrospective network analysis technology has shifted from an emerging technology to being the primary way organizations troubleshoot network problems at the core,” said Douglas Smith, president and co-founder of Network Instruments. “The GigaStor 2TE allows our customers to easily and affordably extend back-in-time power to the network edge.”

The GigaStor 2TE is designed and priced to be deployed throughout the enterprise and bolster the capabilities of potentially budget-constrained midmarket networks.
