SAN Monitor NetWisdom Probe

NetWisdom is a Storage Area Network (SAN) performance monitoring solution that helps simplify SAN administration and ensure SAN health and uptime. NetWisdom Probes are connected either directly in-line through a switch or mirror port or through the use of Finisar’s Network Taps. Hardware Probes gather all of the transactions at the Initiator/Target/LUN level (host to storage conver-sations), providing detailed statistics on the SAN’s health and performance.


NetWisdom Probe Features and Benefits
Fully Distributed Architecture; Seamlessly Scalable


* 1 and 2 Gigabit FC Capabilities
* Rack-mountable Chassis
* Remote Monitoring Through Ethernet Connection
* Deploy at Strategic Links Throughout Loop & Fabric SAN Topologies


Full Wire-Speed Performance


* Provides the Most Accurate Real-time SCSI-level Monitoring of Individual SAN End-Device Conversations
* Delivers Accurate, Fibre Channel and SCSI Statistics


Probes are connected either directly in-line through a switch or mirror port or through the use of network taps. Hardware Probes gather all of the transactions at the Initiator/Target/LUN level (host to storage conver-sations), providing detailed statistics on the SAN’s health and performance.

If hardware cannot be inserted in the fabric, Finisar’s Probe V software provides an alternative approach that allows some, though not all, of the statistics to be gathered directly from the Fibre Channel switches with minimal impact on switch performance. NetWisdom Probe delivers accurate, real-time Fibre Channel and SCSI statistics to the NetWisdom Portal.
