Network professionals now have the flexibility to use both rack mount and portable versions, or even the Fluke Networks OptiView XG Network Analysis Tablet, to gather packet information across multiple tiers within the data centre or a distributed network. This delivers a complete view of the transaction process and isolates points of failure nearly five times faster than competing solutions.

By 2015, server unit growth with 40Gbps Ethernet interface is expected to grow by more than 40%, which represents new challenges isolating packet delays and losses across different network segments.

Fluke Networks program manager Wayne Allen says, “The investments customers are making in 40Gbps pipelines are tremendous, and they need to ensure they’re maximising the investment.

“The newest version of Network Time Machine demonstrates Fluke Networks’ continued commitment to keeping pace with the technologies its customers are using and helping them drive value and performance from their infrastructure.”

The new version of Network Time Machine can capture 20Gbps stream-to-disk (Tolly Group Certified). The portable version can capture 10Gbps stream-to-disk, and will be available in September.
