A Match Made For The Network Analyst
"When using Observer 10 in conjunction with the Advanced Expert Probe, there are greater capabilities for remote network monitoring through real-time remote expert analysis. All expert analysis and expert processing are completed at the individual probe level, and only the results are transferred to the local console. Remote issues can be reviewed and responded to in real-time, reducing network downtime at remote network locations. The entire network can be monitored from a single user interface, and only one console is needed to view data collected from multiple probes local and remote. An organization can identify and resolve network issues from one location, using one technology to monitor all topologies and network configurations."
