WildPackets and Ixia Partner to Offer End-to-End Network Visibility and Troubleshooting Solution

WALNUT CREEK, CA--(Marketwired - Mar 6, 2014) - WildPackets, Inc., a leading provider of network and application performance analysis solutions, today announced its partnership with Ixia, a leading provider of comprehensive network visibility, security and test solutions. The new collaboration will offer enterprises a more comprehensive and complete solution to address today's complex networks requirements.

Enterprises are adopting larger, faster and more complex networks that demand 100 percent visibility. Cloud and virtualization technologies are driving more mission-critical applications to the network. The increased reliance on networks also necessitates no network down time and makes it even more critical to analyze and troubleshoot network data in real time with no packet loss.

The new WildPackets and Ixia partnership addresses these advanced network challenges by combining the capabilities of their products to offer a complete solution for network monitoring and troubleshooting. Ixia's Visibility Architecture enables clear and complete visibility into network traffic performance and applications, while WildPackets' recording and analysis solutions deliver comprehensive statistics and scalable deep packet inspection.

"As organizations turn to larger, faster and more robust networks, they are faced with new challenges for maintaining their performance," said John Delfeld, director of strategic business development for Ixia. "Ixia's network visibility products meet these market needs and complement WildPackets' monitoring solutions by extending access to all needed physical and virtual traffic. The combined solution is easy to deploy and highly scalable."

The WildPackets and Ixia joint solution offers many network benefits, including:

• Complete network visibility
• Accelerated root-cause analysis
• Simplified deployment, eliminating manual-error prone steps
• Maximum efficiency for fast-network troubleshooting
• Scalability to 10G, 40G and 100G environments

"WildPackets' new partnership with Ixia further strengthens our market-leading network monitoring solutions," said Jim Laird, vice president of U.S. sales at WildPackets. "The combined solution package is capable of providing complete visibility and troubleshooting for any network environment."
