Acquisition of leader in NetFlow-based analysis follows recent purchase of Visual Networks; further strengthening Fluke
Networks' Enterprise Performance Management Solution set
EVERETT, Washington - January 16, 2007 –
Fluke Networks, provider of
award-winning Network
SuperVision™ solutions for the testing, monitoring and analysis of enterprise
and telecommunications networks, announced the purchase of Crannog Software.
Terms of the agreement were not disclosed.
Crannog Software, headquartered in Dublin, Ireland, is a market leader in the
development of software and solutions that take advantage of NetFlow, IP-FIX,
and IP-SLA data from the network infrastructure. Its flagship product, NetFlow
Tracker, offers essential capabilities for voice and security applications
including a unique full-flow forensics database storing all the original flows
and all the available NetFlow fields within the flow. This complements Fluke
Networks’ rapidly growing solution set for application performance and VoIP
performance for converged voice/data networks.
“The acquisition of Crannog Software builds upon Fluke Networks’ growing
position in Enterprise Performance Management. Our customers will be better
equipped to manage application, VoIP and network performance across the LAN, WAN
and multi-tiered server environments,” said Jeff Lime, Fluke Networks’ Senior
Vice President of Marketing. “Crannog Software’s own statement about what they
provide customers — All the network, All the flows, All the records, All the
time — is a perfect addition to our own promise of Network SuperVision,
providing more ways for customers to look at the network”
This is Fluke Networks’ second major acquisition in the Enterprise
Performance Management space in the past 12 months. The acquisition of Crannog
Software, following last year’s purchase of Visual Networks, dramatically
strengthens Fluke Networks’ position in Enterprise Performance Management.
Enterprise Performance Management is the delivery of application, VoIP and
network performance management in a converging enterprise network environment,
providing broad enterprise visibility, deep analysis and troubleshooting
capability in an integrated system. This allows IT organizations to maximize the
value and performance of their IT infrastructure and deliver a superior end-user
experience.
“This is a wonderful opportunity for our company and our customers,” said
Philip Harragan, Chief Executive Officer of Crannog Software. “Combining our
areas of expertise with Fluke Networks’ enterprise solutions and worldwide
presence will give our customers a more complete management package than we
could offer alone.”
Together, Fluke Networks and Crannog Software provide
unique insight and capabilities that allow application and network managers to
make rapid decisions, ensuring the quality of experience for their users.
