Observer GigaStor plays a significant role for transaction-heavy organizations in data mining, network forensics, and data retention compliance. The undisputed leader in retrospective network analysis (RNA), GigaStor eliminates the time-consuming task of recreating problems for troubleshooting. Just hit rewind to go back in time and review past network activity. Then navigate to the exact moment a problem occurred and see detailed packet-level views before, during, and after an issue occurrence.

GigaStor is the perfect solution for your network’s security, compliance, and troubleshooting needs. It works on gigabit, 10 Gb, and 40 Gb links – with an immense storage capacity that dwarfs the competition.
