Stop missing critical network events. Instead, rewind your network to quickly troubleshoot sporadic performance problems.
The GigaStor network recorder from Network Instruments provides massive data collection and unique time-based analysis that eliminate the need to recreate problems, rapidly decreasing resolution time.
Storing up to 576 TB of network data for days, weeks, or months, the network recorder eliminates finger-pointing between network and application teams by providing proof of what occurred. Use GigaStor to navigate to the exact moment a problem happened, and see a detailed packet-level view of before, during, and after the occurrence. Monitor LAN, WAN, Ethernet, Gigabit, 10 Gb, OC, and Fibre Channel networks.
• Save Troubleshooting Time
GigaStor's retrospective network analysis capabilities removes the guesswork and the need to start a packet capture. By continually capturing data, GigaStor makes it easy to rewind your network, determine the problem source, perform comprehensive analysis and move on.
• Troubleshooting 10Gig Networks
Network Instruments takes unparalleled efforts to ensure the ability to capture and process network data on gigabit or 10 Gb networks (as verified in the attached Tolly Group report). The design and manufactured Gen2 capture card is the fastest available, supporting full-duplex gigabit and 10 Gb. In order to minimize network overhead, data processing and analysis occurs at the GigaStor probe rather than by pulling captures over the network for processing at the console.
• Drill Down on Problems
Use GigaStor's unique time-based navigation and comprehensive expert analysis to quickly drill down from high-level issues to perform root-cause analysis. From an enterprise-wide view, you can track bandwidth utilization, network Top Talkers, application metrics, NetFlow data, and even VoIP quality statistics. Then use expert analysis to isolate the problem cause and find potential resolutions.
• Investigate Security and Compliance Issues
GigaStor plays a critical role in data mining, network investigations, and data-retention compliance by providing a separately stored, unaltered view of network traffic. If an anomaly or intrusion occurs, GigaStor can identify data accessed and reconstruct the event. This includes the reconstruction of web pages, VoIP conversations, attachments, and e-mails.
• Extending the Power of NetFlow
Use GigaStor to produce NetFlow from any device in any network environment, including servers and non-NetFlow capable routers and switches. GigaStor captures and converts packets into NetFlow data flows, pushing them to reporting applications. 
When portability counts, there is the Network Instruments Portable Analyzer.
