Fluke Networks OptiView XG network analysis tablet

Fluke Networks has introduced the OptiView XG, a network analysis tablet that provides solutions for network and application problems for both wireless and wired access, anywhere in the network.

The tablet expedites network and application problem solving by automating root cause analysis and providing guided troubleshooting to address problem areas.

The instrument is designed to provide a wide range of functionality necessary to adapt to the dynamic and diverse networks through various features.

In addition to a bright screen, the device has customisable dashboards that can be personalised for each user or help transform data into reports for employees at all levels of the organisation, from technicians to managers.

Path and application infrastructure analysis automatically discovers the path between two points in the network and monitors performance along that link to identify network issues that can impact application performance. This decreases the time required to isolate network versus application problems.

Guided/proactive troubleshooting provides a head start on solving problems by collecting and analysing granular data (including NetFlow) collected for 24 hours, so users can go back to analyse when the problem surfaced. It also automatically identifies more than 40 different network problems and offers possible causes, impacts and solutions.

Three-radio design reduces deployment and troubleshooting time with simultaneous network discovery, wireless performance analysis and interference detection using AirMagnet.

When mobile, this lets users monitor the health of key network devices, while performing real-time analysis of Wi-Fi environments.

It has a 26 cm, 1024 x 768 screen displayed on 5 cm thick tablet; two hot-swappable batteries deliver up to 3 h of operation; 10G SFP+ port, 10/100/1000 M RJ45 ports and 100/1000 M SFP+ port; embedded dual 802.11N (3X3) Wi-Fi radios, onboard spectrum analysis radio.
