(NYSE NYSE See: New York Stock Exchange :A) today introduced its new Network Analyzer A specialized hardware device or software in a desktop or laptop computer that captures packets transmitted in a network for routine inspection and problem detection. Also called a "sniffer," "packet sniffer," "packet analyzer," "traffic analyzer" and "protocol analyzer," the network , a network test tool that helps companies troubleshoot To find out why something does not work and to fix the problem. Troubleshooting a computer often requires determining whether the problem is due to malfunctioning hardware or buggy or out-of-date software. See debug. increasingly complex networks and services while drastically reducing the costs associated with downtime. The Agilent Network Analyzer is the only solution on the market that enables network technicians to test all major applications (voice, IP telephony The two-way transmission of voice over a packet-switched IP network, which is part of the TCP/IP protocol suite. The terms "IP telephony" and "voice over IP" (VoIP) are synonymous. , mobile) on all critical network technologies (e.g., LAN (Local Area Network) A communications network that serves users within a confined geographical area. The "clients" are the user's workstations typically running Windows, although Mac and Linux clients are also used. , WAN, ATM) with a single product in real time. The Network Analyzer reinforces Agilent's commitment to the installation and maintenance (I&M) market. Agilent's I&M solutions include those for access networks, core networks, wide area networks (WANs) and local area networks (LANs), wireless and IP networks. "Sending out trucks for maintenance calls costs service providers millions of dollars each year, not to mention the exorbitant costs of network and service downtime," said Steve Witt, vice president and general manager of Agilent's Network Systems Test Division. "The Agilent Network Analyzer will help our customers solve problems more quickly and cost effectively." The Network Analyzer provides great flexibility, as it is available in different forms -- an integrated version for dispatched use; a distributed version, which can be used remotely; and a software version that turns any PC with off-the-shelf network interface cards into a powerful analysis system. Other features and benefits of the Network Analyzer include: -- A high-performance network acquisition system capable of supporting high-speed LANs and WANs simultaneously -- with this product technicians are able to troubleshoot various types of networks and services with one tool. -- Time-synchronized correlation of network data -- a product that gives network technicians automated troubleshooting intelligence across multiple and diverse networks, and real-time analysis of network problems. With these features, technicians are able to identify and troubleshoot problems more efficiently. -- Graphical analysis of network data across multiple networks, including analysis of long-term intermittent problems, network benchmarking and baselining -- this data decreases downtime by helping service providers avoid future problems.
