Packet Island, Inc. today announced that they will demonstrate their latest SaaS-based sniffer product, PacketPro at TMC's ITEXPO conference in Miami. This SaaS-based product has the ability to provide managed service providers and IT outsourcing companies remote visibility to troubleshoot problems in their customers' networks. Many companies don't have the internal networking staff to troubleshoot complex networking issues, especially voice over IP, which is time sensitive traffic. I haven't seen their product demo yet, so I'll be sure to stop by their booth. I believe they leverage Ethereal/WireShark, an open-source packet sniffing software. I know their solution supports SIP, SCCP (Cisco Skinny protocol), and Asterisk as reported by TMCNet.
PacketPro is a remote VoIP Lifecycle Management and Packet Sniffing solution. It consists of a 4" x 5" micro-appliance in a portable kit that can be shipped to a customer site. Packet Island's hosted service enables this micro-appliance to be used as a remote ethereal sniffer to diagnose a broad variety of network problems.
PacketPro offers the following key benefits:
According to Packet Island, "The high cost of experienced field techs is a huge problem for MSPs and IT outsourcing companies who deploy and deliver converged media services. With PacketPro a handful of experts at corporate headquarters can be leveraged to provide nationwide support on complex voice-video-data issues."
