Hawkeye enables enterprises and service
providers to proactively monitor Wi-Fi readiness
Ixia (Nasdaq: XXIA), a leading provider of network testing,
visibility, and security solutions, today announced new Wi-Fi
readiness capabilities that have been added to the company’s
network assessment and monitoring platform -
Hawkeye™.
Delivering innovative services such as Voice over IP (VoIP),
unified communications, and cloud migration of business services is
critical to an organization’s survival. However, Wi-Fi issues in
accessing these services can seriously compromise a company’s
network performance and required business services. Effective
management of Wi-Fi connectivity is therefore a serious business,
so much so that, according to IDC, the market for cloud-managed
WiFi is growing, and will be worth $1.7 billion by 2018.
Ixia’s Hawkeye, which proactively generates and analyzes
synthetic network and application traffic to assess how
applications and services will perform, now includes proactive
monitoring of Wi-Fi readiness. Expanded coverage in Hawkeye spans
wide area networks (WAN), local area networks (LAN) virtual private
networks (VPN) and cloud access to wireless LAN (WLAN)
architectures. As a result, Hawkeye can validate that complex
business-critical services over Wi-Fi are available 24x7.
“Enterprises are introducing new business applications and
unified communications, and are migrating servers and services to
private and public clouds, which can impact their ability to
deliver on their customer expectations,” stated Tim Courtenay,
managing director, ATIO telecoms division. “Hawkeye provides
effective information relating to the availability and performance
of the key services our customers deliver over an IP network.
Extending Hawkeye’s technology coverage to Wi-Fi will provide them
with greater control over this critical aspect of the customer
experience, eliminating any potential issues associated with their
network and Wi-Fi access.”
Hawkeye simulates application traffic and sends key performance
metrics to a central console enabling IT professionals to easily
detect, diagnose, and fix network performance issues before they
impact end users. Hawkeye also includes a cloud option that can be
run with the central console, hosted from a single site or data
center, and accessed publicly by teams at multiple locations.
Hawkeye is a key component of Ixia’s growing network visibility
portfolio which includes network taps for access to security and
management devices, network packet brokers for amplified security
and efficient monitoring, and bypass switches for automated
failover protection.
Hawkeye enables customers to:
- Rapidly deploy new services with
pre-launch assessments for business applications (e.g. VoIP, UC,
video conferencing, business critical applications) over wireline
and wireless, including cloud migration projects.
- Automate day-to-day IT tasks needed for
managing complex network and application environments across
offices, campus networks, and virtual data centers.
- Control network and services
performance with cost-effective software endpoints or turnkey probe
distribution that delivers expansive coverage.
- Proactively detect problems and
implement tests with clear demarcation points to locate network and
application issues for quality of experience (QoE) against expected
service levels.
