Producers: Fluke Networks

Modern corporate networks — very difficult information educations. Also put here not only in use of various infrastructure decisions. On their basis a large number of various technologies, services and services is realized. Besides, corporate networks often change. For increase in efficiency of work of employees new services constantly take root. At the same time there can be "narrow" places exerting impact on productivity of all network. Owing to these features identification of problems in a modern corporate network is strongly complicated.

For the solution of this task the Fluke Networks company developed a number of devices for the analysis and monitoring of corporate networks. They considerably differ from usual testers. The difference is that these devices can not only define physical damages of infrastructure, but also work at all seven levels of the network OSI model. Thanks to it they provide the full review of all elements of hardware, appendices and network connections.

Devices for the analysis and monitoring of corporate networks can conditionally be divided into two groups, depending on their functionality. The devices intended for the solution of rather narrow tasks concern to the first: the analysis of malfunctions in computer centers, search of malfunctions in wireless networks, elimination of problems with productivity in the Ethernet networks, etc.

The second group is made by the integrated devices for the analysis and monitoring of corporate networks. They are capable to work at all seven levels of the network OSI model, to analyze protocols, to carry out active search and the analysis of devices and a network traffic. In addition in them an opportunity to exercise control of appendices, wireless networks, works of the VoIP systems, etc. is realized. Results of testing of a network are displayed on the screen. Besides, in such devices for the analysis and monitoring the possibility of remote access to them with viewing of reports is provided in HTML format.

Other parameter in which it is possible to qualify devices for the analysis and monitoring of corporate networks is their form factor. The Fluke Networks company lets out two types of devices: portable and rack-mount. The first represent the devices, rather small on dimensions, intended for testing of a corporate network at its construction, and also in the future as required. Rack-mount devices are used for installation in communication knots and the constant analysis and monitoring of a corporate network.
