Network Instruments® Celebrates 15 Years of Innovation Unified product offering, consistent management, and strong customer commitment drive 15 years of double-digit growth September 15, 2009 — Minneapolis, MN.— Network Instruments, a worldwide leader in network performance management, celebrates the beginning of its 15th year of business. Since its founding in 1994, the company has witnessed double-digit growth every year thanks to the Observer® product line licensed to over 60,000 users worldwide. The company was founded by CEO Roman Oliynyk and President Douglas Smith to produce a higher performing and more cost-effective network analysis solution. Today Oliynyk and Smith are still focused on the same goal with a significantly larger reach. What began as a simple software product evolved into a powerfully engineered, fully-integrated software and hardware platform for managing network and application performance. "It’s amazing to think about how far we have come as a company and how much the industry has changed in 15 years,” said Smith. “We hosted the original Observer download on CompuServe and a bulletin board system (BBS). Today, the Observer portfolio is used by 70 of the Global Fortune 100. Our strong customer relationships and superior product development have fueled the tremendous growth we've seen. Given today's economic climate such a story seems almost unimaginable." As the first company to provide both real-time monitoring and packet-level drill-down capabilities in a single platform, Network Instruments continues to increase its reach across all verticals and enterprises. The company is also heralded for building the first cost-effective Windows-based analyzer, and being the first analysis vendor to design and manufacture a gigabit and 10 Gb capture card. Earlier this year, Network Instruments became the first to provide long-term VM monitoring and analysis. Steve Steinke, research director of networks for The 451 Group, a technology industry analyst company, noted in a recent report: “Year after year, Network Instruments incorporates customer requests and its own good ideas to the point where the Observer product has been transformed from a network analyzer capable only of displaying packets at a single point to a full-fledged, multipoint analysis engine capable of reconstructing weeks and months of traffic. With its growing capabilities, the company butts up against an increasing slew of competitors, but it continues to thrive and meet the needs of large enterprises around the world.” The company owes much of its success to a unified product offering with robust capabilities. Observer Reporting Server provides high-level aggregate views of performance, while allowing seamless drill down for root-cause analysis. GigaStor™ saves substantial troubleshooting time by eliminating the step of problem recreation. Observer’s Expert Analysis and forensic capabilities quickly resolve network, application, and security issues.
