The Challenge
Prior to purchasing Observer, Cisco Systems experienced a lack of visibility during and after network events.
“I needed large data captures and a way to manipulate them,” says Eric Arnold, Service Provider Video TAC Manager for the company.
Arnold states that Cisco Systems chose Observer over competitors because of the packet capture and storage capabilities.
