Net Optics announced additions to the Spyke Application-Aware Network Performance Monitoring (AA-NPM) platform.

SPYKE 1.5 delivers AA-NPM supporting 10G networks and is designed to monitor applications and networks of companies from small branch sites to 10G Enterprise-wide networks. New support for 10G traffic monitoring allows Enterprise customers to deploy a plug-and-play, cost effective solution to complement current monitoring infrastructure.

AA-NPM demands deep diving into packet payloads to identify the underlying application and extract relevant performance indicators. Spyke 1.5’s DPI engine adds coverage for hundreds of applications, letting customers examine and extract application meta-data for fast troubleshooting and problem resolution.

“Most monitoring tools see packet headers and provide flow information only,” says Dave Britt, Net Optics Director of APM Technologies, “whereas DPI is like opening a letter to see the content.”

Spyke provides meaningful metadata, identifying not only how well applications are performing but also what users are actually doing. So a customer can easily find “bandwidth hogs” and also extract Google search strings that users are entering, for example. Key enhancements let customers quickly understand which protocols and services are running in their networks.

The first units of Spyke 1.5 are expected to ship in early Q3.
