Fluke Networks has announced that it has acquired ClearSight Networks, a provider of network analysis tools for real-time application monitoring, protocol analysis and troubleshooting. Terms of the agreement were not disclosed.

ClearSight’s products provide network engineers visibility into their network traffic. Insights into performance, security and anomalies are delivered through the ClearSight Analyzer (CSA) and Network Time Machine (NTM) product lines. ClearSight’s protocol analysis, deep packet inspection and forensic stream-to-disk technologies further strengthen Fluke Networks’ position in network analysis, monitoring and testing, according to the company.

“ClearSight’s network analysis solutions maximize network engineers’ ability to actively monitor critical links carrying high volumes of network traffic for performance bottlenecks, security anomalies and intermittent disruptions,” said Arif Kareem, President, Fluke Networks. “ClearSight’s powerful historical analysis, when coupled with deep packet inspection and monitoring, provide the comprehensive visibility needed to isolate, diagnose and resolve problems before they impact network performance.”

ClearSight offers CSA, a software protocol analyzer, and NTM, a real-time network traffic monitoring solution that employs deep packet inspection and stream-to-disk storage capacity for historical analysis. NTM supports both 1G and 10G Ethernet connectivity in portable and distributed versions. The company’s products combine a simple user interface with the ability to capture, index and classify complex network data.

“Fluke Networks’ philosophy of providing Network SuperVision, giving users superior visibility and insight into networking infrastructures they can’t get anywhere else, is a natural fit with ClearSight,” said Sam Li, technology founder of ClearSight. “Our products have defined ease-of-use in protocol analysis and application analysis visualization. We provide tools that are easy enough for less experienced technicians yet deep enough for complex root cause analysis by senior engineers. FNET delivers similar breakthroughs in ease of use across their entire line –our combination is powerful.”
