All-In-One Network Traffic Monitoring Solution
IOTA is a powerful network capture and analysis solution for edge and core networks. The IOTA lineup consists of portable EDGE models, high-speed CORE models, and the IOTA CM centralized device management system.
Altogether, the IOTA solution provides fast and efficient network analysis and troubleshooting capabilities to branch offices, SME businesses, and core networks, such as data centers.
IOTA allows you to capture network traffic without affecting network performance or security and gives detailed real-time and historical network traffic visibility into critical applications and data. IOTA helps quickly resolve network issues like performance and application problems through complete packet and metadata analysis.

IOTA Centralized Management
IOTA CM is a centralized management application for IOTA EDGE and CORE models. Bringing together all IOTA deployments into a single interface, network administrators get a central interface to maintain a fleet of IOTA devices and analyze the entire deployment centrally.
IOTA use case
Application Latency Analysis
More and more applications are provided by cloud providers as SaaS from globally distributed data centers. Normally, this offers easy application deployment. However, it also brings new error sources that can affect application performance. For example, latency issues can lead to sluggish applications and even timeouts in those applications. With packet loss, similar behavior occurs, and retransmissions are visible.
IOTA use case
Troubleshooting DNS
There is a saying: “It’s not DNS. There is no way it’s DNS. It was DNS”. This makes it clear that DNS is an integral part of IT infra-structure services and can exhibit a wide variety of error patterns. For example, DNS can lead to applications not starting or starting with delays. Sometimes, this is due to incorrectly stored DNS records or performance bottlenecks on DNS servers. However, overly restrictive firewalls cause problems in some cases since some system integrators only support DNS over UDP. With large responses, however, DNS switches to TCP. Certificate errors in browsers can also indicate incorrect DNS entries.
