NI-DNA includes Unified Code Set
Scalability
Flexibility
Modularity
Affordability
Inside Observer are two components: the console, which displays data, and the probe, which is used for data collection and processing. Since the console and the probe are derived from the same code, they work together as a seamless, integrated solution. This unique architecture ensures the entire user experience and product functionality are identical regardless of topology or location. Updates and enhancements made to Observer are made across the entire product platform. Unlike competitive offerings, Network Instruments provides a single product set to cover all components for network analysis.
NI-DNA provides Local/Remote Visibility
Visibility
Efficiency
Productivity
Security
Observer’s unique architecture delivers both local and remote visibility. The Observer console includes a local probe for local analysis and connects to remote probes. No longer do you need to purchase separate applications for local and distributed analysis, as NI-DNA provides a single application designed for both. Regardless of whether a segment is located on the 2nd floor, across town or across the world, NI-DNA offers monitoring and troubleshooting capabilities in real time for fast problem resolution.
NI-DNA delivers Multi-Topology Support
Adaptability
Simplicity
Transparency
Reliability
Observer is a heterogeneous network analyzer, allowing end-to-end network management regardless of topology. With the NI-DNA architecture, Observer’s probes simultaneously collect and process data from multiple network interfaces monitoring the same or different topologies. Observer’s single user interface can manage multiple gigabit links, wireless connections, 10/100/1000 Ethernet and wide area networks-all at the same time. NI-DNA eliminates the need for topology-specific products, thereby reducing training times, increasing productivity and delivering a stronger return on investment.
