Global Fortune 500-class enterprises have chosen Packet Design solutions to help network engineering departments meet their mandate to provide a predictable IP network infrastructure

Network engineering departments are under increasing pressure. No longer is simply building an IP network and preventing major outages enough. New, more demanding and sensitive application such as web-enabled applications, Voice over IP (VoIP) and Video over IP are driving the need for a predictable IP network service infrastructure. Yet, IP networks are far from predictable today. Brown-outs, intermittent disruptions, performance degradations, and mysterious behavior are still an ongoing reality. Traditional network management tools are of no help in many cases, since they don't address the complex, correlated routing and traffic interactions that are the key root cause of many IP network problems. The lack of effective management tools that provide visibility into the network "cloud" reduces IT responsiveness, productivity and network availability.

Packet Design solutions allows IT departments to increase the availability and performance of critical applications by providing visibility into the inner workings of IP network routing and traffic flows. Packet Design solutions provide real-time, network-wide monitoring and analysis of both routing and traffic flows on every link in the network. Analysis capabilities correlate traffic and routing changes, identify top traffic talkers and listeners, and provide deep root cause analysis of complex routing issues to help avert problems as they avert and to reduce Mean Time to Repair (MTTR) for problems that occur. Operationally accurate planning capabilities allow engineers to plan and validate network routing and traffic changes to eliminate unpleasant surprises from misconfigurations. Complementing offline modeling tools, planning features model routing changes and failure scenarios on the as-running network routing and traffic, allowing network engineers to optimize the network's performance and Return on Investment metrics and streamlining ongoing network maintenance operations.
