become crucial. Remote probes have changed the way IT departments are structured. Today, with a console and remote probes, an IT manager can proactively
monitor, troubleshoot and respond to any network problem from any location. Network Instruments’ probes offer complete insight and visibility into every part of
an organization’s business-critical IT infrastructure. Choose from a variety of pre-configured 1U rack mount systems for an easy, cost-effective way to monitor any
