Spyke Solution Offers Performance and Availability for Interop Attendees and Exhibitors, Who Rely on the InteropNet to Demo Their Latest Products and Communicate With Customers and Partners During the Show


SANTA CLARA, CA--(Marketwire - May 8, 2012) - Net Optics, Inc., the leading provider of Intelligent Access and Monitoring Architecture solutions, today announced that its recently launched Spyke and Director xStream will monitor Interop's Network Operations Center (NOC) and provide real-time analysis of application performance. This is the fourth year in a row that the NOC team chose Net Optics to help secure the InteropNet. Interop is happening this week in Las Vegas. For more information see www.interop.com.

With its ability to support gigabit speeds, Spyke is ideal for high-speed networks like the InteropNet. The architecture features Net Optics taps "sitting on" the feed from the Internet to tap into the traffic. The data is sent to Director xStream, which maps the traffic to Spyke and other analysis tools.

Built from offerings of the world's most innovative vendors, the InteropNet is collaboratively constructed and reflects the highest levels of design, deployment and multi-vendor management of a converged network. Interop exhibitors rely on mission-critical networking capabilities, since many choose this time to debut their latest products.

Spyke offers unprecedented visibility into traffic statistics with a streamlined dashboard that instantly reveals information in an easily understood format. Spyke provides a level of visibility previously unseen in the market, displaying network activity and monitoring VoIP and other traffic at an advanced level that moves beyond alerts to root causes, delivering application intelligence and real-time information. Spyke offers visibility from the dashboard and KPI down to the packet level, enabling problem detection and isolation of any application causing problems, along with analysis of the data packet itself.

"We chose Spyke as part of our multi-layer performance monitoring system based on its ability to provide the visibility and insight we needed for this vast, critical undertaking," said Glenn Evans, InteropNet's Lead Engineer/Architect. "Spyke goes beyond just seeing data and provides a deep understanding of how the network is actually performing -- both the entire network and its individual components."

Director xStream is an advanced data monitoring switch that works as part of the InteropNet solution to aggregate, regenerate and switch traffic. This traffic, from any set of network links and Span ports, can be aggregated into a single stream and regenerated to multiple ports simultaneously without impacting speed or data integrity.

"For the fourth year in a row, our solutions have lived up to one of the toughest selection processes in the industry," said Bob Shaw, president and CEO of Net Optics. "Being chosen for the InteropNet points out the value and reliability of our latest offering to some of the world's most respected network architects."
