Portable Network Analyzer and OmniEngine Consoles
Serving a dual role as both a portable network analysis solution and as a software console for OmniEngines, OmniPeek offers an intuitive, easy-to-use graphical interface that engineers can use to rapidly analyze and troubleshoot enterprise networks. OmniPeek provides centralized expert analysis for all networks under management. With OmniPeek, Enterprise IT professionals can also analyze local segments on a portable basis. Using OmniPeek’s intuitive user interface and "top-down" approach to visualizing network conditions, network engineers – even junior staff – can quickly analyze faults from multiple network segments, drill down through multiple layers of analysis, and pinpoint problems that need correction.

Using OmniPeek, network engineers can:

• Analyze traffic from any local network segment, including 10GbE, Gigabit and WAN segments, as well as any network segment configured with OmniEngine
• Analyze and troubleshoot both data and media traffic using one single product.
• Not only view the high-level network traffic via "Dashboard", but also drill down to see which nodes are communicating, which protocols and sub-protocols are being transmitted, and which traffic characteristics are affecting network performance.
• Change filters on the fly without having to stop and restart packet captures.
• View packet-stream based analytics by conversation pair, instantly locating network events.
• View local captures, remote captures, or a combination of local and remote captures.
• View network traffic in its intended form like PDF, HTML pages, Email, IM, etc...

Distributed 24/7 Network Analyzer and Monitor
OmniEngine performs real-time network analysis on traffic from one or more network interfaces, including Ethernet, 802.11 a/b/g/n wireless, Gigabit, 10 Gigabit, and WAN. OmniEngine captures and analyzes data in real-time, and records data for post-capture analysis. With WildPackets OmniEngines, network engineers can rapidly troubleshoot faults – even faults occurring at remote locations - without leaving their office.

OmniEngine runs as a service on standard Windows platforms as well as on WildPackets' network recorder, Omnipliance, which is available in both Windows and Linux configurations. By installing an OmniEngine in each business location, a network engineering team gains real-time visibility into all its remote networks. Enterprises that cannot afford to staff each office with a network engineer can use OmniEngine to ensure that every business location receives the network engineering support it needs.

OmniEngine provides comprehensive network service analytics, including:

• Application layer expert diagnoses, Apdex user satisfaction scores, and application response time (ART) analysis
• Expert Systems Diagnoses, including streams-based packet analysis and correlations between events and conversations
• Statistical Analysis, including packet flows and details about nodes, protocols, and sub-protocols
• Packet Analysis, including protocol decodes and descriptions of physical errors
• VoIP Media analysis, including MOS and R-Factor scores, as well as Expert analysis for leading VoIP solutions such as Avaya, Cisco, and Megaco
• Infrastructure Monitoring, including 24 x7 monitoring and analysis of network traffic; when network problems occur, OmniEngine executes SNMP traps, notifying SNMP monitoring systems such as HP OpenView of potential problems; because it captures the traffic that generated the error, OmniEngine provides network engineers the detailed information they need in order to investigate and resolve problems

While other packet analysis products offer only simplistic threshold-based alarms, OmniEngine offers a wealth of information and features that network engineers can use to rapidly troubleshoot faults.
