Sniffer Global Analyzer is the industry's first enterprise-class, plug-and-play network analyzer for wireless and wired networks. Sniffer Global Analyzer gives network managers on-demand network segment monitoring, best-in-class protocol decodes, integrated packet-level expert analysis, and unified wired and wireless management with location-based context – all within a secure environment with true enterprise class control. The unlimited user or 10-user license of this software-based, portable tool provides total worldwide flexibility in deployment across a distributed organization, allowing anytime/anywhere access with no additional licensing costs. Sniffer Global Analyzer is an ideal solution for:
* Rapid identification of application and network performance issues over wired and wireless networks
* Analysis of wired and wireless network links and wireless control infrastructure
* Analysis of applications and services – in production and prior to roll-out
* Location of mobile wireless devices on physical map, using integrated Cisco Mobility Services Engine data
* Second-level security risk assessment
Unlike every other portable protocol analyzer in the industry, which gives users full, uncontrolled access to network traffic traversing the wire – a potentially huge security problem – Sniffer Global Analyzer contains a unique, centralized, policy-based access that governs how and what a user can manage on the network using the software-based client application. An administrative server controls user access to network data and analyzer functions, monitors activity within the tool, and provides traffic specific charts and views -- eliminating a common and dangerous gap in security at many organizations.
Sniffer Global Analyzer is the only network analyzer to integrate with Cisco® 3000 Series Mobility Services Engine (MSE). This addresses the daunting challenge of effectively troubleshooting performance issues in a wireless network in which components and problems are constantly in motion and difficult to pinpoint quickly without multiple tools and multiple teams involved. With Sniffer Global Analyzer, users have the ability to connect into the network quickly identify wireless devices and correlate contextual location-based information from Cisco MSE to place these wireless devices on a physical map. Then, Sniffer Global Analyzer users can use the tool to access best-in-class network analysis capabilities to isolate the problem. Faster time-to-knowledge yields optimized performance of the environment and improved user quality of experience.
Built on the industry’s most advanced and widely deployed Sniffer Portable network analyzer software, Sniffer Global Analyzer contains best-in-class network and application performance troubleshooting functionality. Rich expert modes assist users in quickly identifying errors during packet-level analysis for a wide range of protocol decodes covering all of the most common applications and protocols, including protocols used by VoIP and mobility applications. Sniffer Global Analyzer delivers intuitive, easy-to-use dashboards and network views that include deep packet drill-down capabilities and support for wired 10/100/1000 Ethernet and wireless 802.11 a/b/g/n networks all in one tool -- yielding consistent operation and functionality, reducing desktop tool clutter and greatly accelerating problem resolution.
