The new Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ Intelligent Network Observability Essentials bundle is now available with the purchase of either AppResponse packet capture and analysis or NetProfiler enterprise-scale hybrid flow monitoring. Included in the Network Observability Essentials bundle is a comprehensive suite of tools designed to enable proactive and accelerated remediation across complex, hybrid network environments:

  • Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ IQ: SaaS-based AI that pinpoints issues and speeds resolution ¨C no extra infrastructure needed.
  • Workspaces: Role-based dashboards that unify packet, flow, and endpoint insights to provide contextual visibility for every team.2
  • Grafana Plug-In: Seamless integration for organizations using Grafana to visualize Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ observability data in their existing dashboards.3
  • Topology Viewer: Dynamic, map-based visualization that correlates network topology with application and user performance to speed triage.

 

The Essentials Bundle is available with Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ Flex, which delivers greater architectural freedom, license portability, value retention, and lower total cost of ownership. With Flex Licensing, customers can:

  • Re-allocate licenses across hardware, virtual, or cloud deployment.
  • Streamline budget planning with predictable OPEX-based pricing.
  • Support future growth and transitions without needing to re-purchase software.

This licensing approach enables IT teams to align network observability investments with evolving business needs, whether optimizing for resilience, performance, or AI-driven automation.

Built to Scale: Performance Without Bottlenecks

Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ¡¯s new xx90 appliance family are purpose-built to support the scale, speed, and precision required in today¡¯s distributed enterprise networks. Whether deployed for AppResponse, NetProfiler, or Flow Gateway, the xx90 family delivers high-throughput performance for both packet and flow capture without compromise.

 

As part of the recent update, AppResponse 11.21 enables real-time triage of encrypted IPSec ESP tunnel traffic and cipher hygiene, even across globally distributed environments. AppResponse 11.21 on xx90 systems offers sustained packet capture over 50 Gbps, concurrent packet capture and analysis, and scalable modular storage exceeding 2.4 PB.

 

For flow-based monitoring and analytics, the same xx90 system powers the new 10.29 version of NetProfiler and Flow Gateway, delivering unmatched flow visibility and analysis at scale. With 3x faster reporting and analysis and 2x faster throughput, the new software also includes dynamic Flow Load Balancing and full support for Versa SD-WAN.

 

Together, these high-performance appliances boost performance for collecting the full-fidelity network data that serve as the backbone of Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ¡¯s Intelligent Network Observability, enabling smarter, faster, and more scalable network operations across corporate networks.

 

¡°My latest research shows that as organizations prepare their infrastructure for AI applications and data, they need monitoring solutions that are scalable and intelligent. Organizations must move beyond legacy tools and embrace AI-driven observability to gain real-time insights, streamline operations, and meet the performance demands of modern infrastructure,¡± said Shamus McGillicuddy, Research Vice President at EMA. ¡°Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ is delivering a truly modern, scalable, and intelligent network observability strategy.¡±
