Netwisdom is a 3-tiered architecture consisting of the
Probe that connects to the SAN data paths or runs
through the SPAN port on a switch, the Portal software
that collects data from the Probes, and the Views
software that presents the data in a flexible, graphical
user interface.
Integration of NetWisdom with Finisar's award-winning
Xgig is a powerful combination . NetWisdom can monitor
for problems and alarms and send Xgig to the specific
port to capture a trace for reoccurring problems. Expert
analysis can now be applied to NetWisdom summary reports
and recordings. NetWisdom can trigger the Xgig to periodically
take traces looking for problems. Portal can act as a
historical repository for Xgig captures.
