The Finisar NetWisdom
family of performance monitoring products is designed to provide a new
level of diagnosis and prevention of complex, heterogeneous, fiber
channel SANs. SAN administrators can implement all or part of the
NetWisdom family of products to address specific issues, verify service
levels, and provide deep monitoring and analysis on multiple SAN tiers.

Demo
IT organizations that manage high
levels of complexity in their Storage Area Network (SAN)
infrastructures require a sophisticated set of capabilities for the
diagnosis and prevention of slowdowns. Acute brown outs and outages
must be diagnosed swiftly, without vendor finger-pointing or time
wasted in waiting for the appropriate analysis tools. Simultaneously,
chronic problems must be proactively detected and resolved before they
become acute.
NetWisdom Family of products provides
the deep monitoring, analysis and diagnosis needed for today’s
increasingly complex SANs. NetWisdom's architecture maximizes the SAN
administrator’s ability to implement a wide range of NetWisdom
Enterprise configurations, based on the needs of the SAN or SAN tier,
and to add new components incrementally as budget and time allow.
NetWisdom Express uses
a virtual software probe, ProbeV, to remotely collect statistics from
fabric switches via SNMP.
NetWisdom
Enterprise uses ProbeFCX probes to view every packet on
the SAN in real-time and collect protocol level metrics and faults.
Rovers extend the reach of the ProbeFCX probes to large numbers of SAN
links. Roving policies allow SAN administrators to tune the number of
SAN links and duration of metric collection and automate the movement
of the probe between SAN links.
NetWisdom Enterprise
Expert adds the Xgig Protocol Analyzer deepening the
metrics further by performing detailed offline analysis of problematic
storage traffic. Xgig SAN analyzers can extend their reach to many SAN
links by connecting to Rovers. NetWisdom metrics are additive providing
all the metrics listed if ProbeV, ProbeFCX probes, and Xgig analyzers
are used.
