Watch the full OnDemand Webcast: http://bit.ly/techsupportmodern One indication that you’ve become really successful in your profession is when you have budget for an assistant. Let’s face it, as a network engineer, this just isn’t in the cards. Or is it? WildPackets is introducing the OmniPeek Remote Assistant, and it’s exactly the kind of assistant that a network engineer needs. Let’s say you work for a large retailer and you’re having an issue with a PoS system at a store clear across the country. Or perhaps you work for a network equipment company, and one of your customers has called to report degraded performance of the system. The OmniPeek Remote Assistant allows you to send a lightweight software utility to the location in question, and any network user, even one with no network engineering expertise at all, can run the utility and collect all the data you need without you ever leaving your desk. You have the data you need in record time, and you can immediately begin analyzing it at your desk. And best of all the data is fully encrypted, so even if the data in question is sensitive you are the only person who can access it. With the OmniPeek Remote Assistant, you’ll save time and money with each use, and you’ll feel as important as the assistant-wielding executive in the corner office.
