Network Monitoring Solutions

Evolve Your Network Infrastructure

with 100% Visibility

Network monitoring tools must have real-time insight into all relevant data to keep pace with the speed and diversity of digital business. From the addition of new systems to the adoption of entirely new architectures, networks are in constant evolution. Network Critical delivers the pervasive layer needed for Inline visibility and out-of-band access to accelerate deployment and management of cloud, virtualization, software-defined architectures, edge computing, IoT and other network initiatives.

Network Critical’s SmartNA™ series of Next-Generation Network Packet Brokers use advanced traffic aggregation, filtering and load-balancing to intelligently feed traffic to the relevant Network Performance Management (NPM) or Application Performance Management (APM) tools. Ensuring tools receive the exact data they need in real-time, optimizes their efficiency and performance, and enables network administrators to identify and resolve issues quickly.
