Application performance
degradation is a growing problem
for today’s on-demand enter-
prises. The proliferation of
server-based applications has
created application response
time problems that may be
difficult to pinpoint.
SuperAgentApplication Performance Analyzer
SuperAgent is your first stop to monitor, trend and troubleshoot application perform-
ance. It provides accurate, detailed insight into end user response times throughout
your enterprise for all TCP applications – without the use of end point agents or net-
work probes. SuperAgent isolates the source of the problem – whether it is network,
application, or server related. Armed with this knowledge, solving application response
time problems is easier and faster. Service Level Management and Intelligent Baseline
capabilities in SuperAgent help you quickly demonstrate how improvements or
degradation in application performance have impacted your organization.
ReporterAnalyzerNetFlow Traffic Analyzer
ReporterAnalyzer is a flexible analysis engine
that enables you to understand how applica-
tion traffic is impacting network performance.
Gathering Cisco NetFlow information,
ReporterAnalyzer shows you which applica-
tions are using bandwidth, who is using the
bandwidth and when. When performance
issues arise, you have many cost-effective
options such as queuing, rescheduling, remov-
ing unwanted traffic or reconfiguring applications that devour bandwidth. You don’t
always have to increase bandwidth in an attempt to solve a performance problem.
With ReporterAnalyzer, you are able to quickly determine the best approach, and
then understand how effective this approach has been in solving the problem.

Application Performance
Is it a network, server or application issue?Determining where performance problems lie and who has the responsibility for solving the problem is one of the most time-consuming
challenges facing IT groups today.

OptiView™ Workgroup AnalyzerDistributed LAN Analyzer
OptiView™ Link AnalyzerDistributed monitoring for critical
10/100/1000 Ethernet links
When troubleshooting network and application performance issues on high-speed
Ethernet networks, it’s important to have a piece of equipment that can guarantee 100%
visibility, even at Gigabit line speeds. OptiView Link Analyzer is your perfect companion
by providing an ASIC architecture for real-time monitoring and packet capture. Link
Analyzer is rack mountable and provides 10/100 and full duplex Gigabit Ethernet network
monitoring and troubleshooting.
Locate the OptiView Workgroup Analyzer at the
same site or at a remote site literally anywhere
in the world to gain a ”virtual“ presence for
analysis and troubleshooting of any segment of your enterprise network. Designed for
integrated use with OptiView Console and Protocol Expert so you can monitor and analyze
10/100/1000 Ethernet networks right from your desktop.
OptiView™ WAN AnalyzersLink monitoring and troubleshooting
Monitoring your wide area network links helps
prevent bottlenecks and allows you to get the most
out of your investment. Optimize WAN link performance for critical processes. Easily and

To understand what’s happening
in today’s switched networks,
OptiView integrates three analysis
techniques. Active Discovery
provides inventory, mapping, and
path analysis. Statistical Analysis
collects and analyzes information
about network usage over time.
Packet Capture gives you the
in-depth visibility to solve
complex network problems.
OptiView™ ConsoleNetwork monitoring software
OptiView’s centralized operating console with remote
access capability quickly discovers and continuously
monitors network devices while documenting their
connectivity. Using its software agents and the
OptiView Integrated Network Analyzer, Workgroup
Analyzer or WAN Analyzer, OptiView Console monitors the network and provides seven-
layer information and documentation. With one look at the clearly organized data, you
can quickly identify where the problem is and access the detailed information you need
to resolve it quickly
OptiView™ Protocol ExpertProtocol analysis software
Use OptiView Protocol Expert software for in-depth
network and application troubleshooting. When a
problem is isolated to the network or application,
packet capture and extensive protocol decodes ease
the analysis of network and application communications.
With this information, you will be able to understand and fix the exact cause of poor
application performance or connectivity. Capturing the exact traffic you need is simpli-
fied using powerful filters that can be customized for the application or user groups
under investigation. Expert diagnostics help identify and resolve common application
and network problems without the need for extensive packet analysis. Protocol Expert
works by itself, or in conjunction with OptiView Link Analyzer and the full line of
OptiView products.
“Fluke Networks’ OptiView is revolutionizing network testing by integrating both wireline andwireless testing into one tool. Being able to isolate problems to the wired or wireless domainand then troubleshoot either enables us to deploywireless networks faster and more reliably whichincreases our value to customers.”
