ClearSight has received a prestigious Product of the Year Award from Internet Telephony.  According to the editors of INTERNET TELEPHONY, "they selected the companies which in their view demonstrate the vision, leadership and attention to detail that are the hallmarks of the prestigious Product of the Year Award."  Launched in 1998, INTERNET TELEPHONY is the premier publication covering the IP communications industry.

The ClearSight Network Time Machine (NTM) extends the capabilities of traditional "Sniffer" tools by removing the limitation on the size of the analyzer's capture buffer. It is able to do this because of a sophisticated RAID storage subsystem that is incorporated into the NTM product. Through this unique design, the NTM is able to collect, index and archive up to 44 terabytes of network data making it a must have tool for today's generation of networks which are carrying data, voice and video information in greater and greater volumes.

In normal operations, the NTM captures network traffic and stores it onto its storage subsystem. The internal analyzer feature can then analyze a subset of this data, all while the NTM continues to capture data.

A unique option that is available to the NTM is the Atlas Navigation System. As soon as data is captured by the NTM, Atlas begins indexing and classifying the information. From there, new and powerful views based on the data stored in the NTM storage subsystem are available, making it easy to mine application, network and data link information. This is accomplished by drilling down from areas of interest in order to view related trending charts, flow data, and packet data.

It is similar to the way in which one can use say a world atlas - first see large area maps such as continents, then dive in to see detailed maps of smaller areas such as states and cities, and to look up statistics such as population, climate, and economic data -- except in this case we are talking about an enterprise-class Ethernet network. The framework provides an extremely intuitive method of managing networks.
