Google Maps Network Engineer plug-in

google engineer map toolA new plug-in has just been released that lets network engineers look at the active internet nodes that are communicating with local nodes like web, email, wireless, voip, WAN and application server nodes. The tool was built so that engineers could get better grips on their data including troubleshooting, faults, restoring services, and network uptime.

Through this new plug-in that accesses a tool built by WildPackets called the OmniAnalysis Platform, network engineers can get a greater in depth look at the geographic location of where the nodes are coming from.

The plug-in for Google Maps is free to all users of OmniPeek.
