Sideband Networks delivers the ability to look into live traffic in network architectures and prioritize events into network alerts. It also gives users the freedom to implement policy and change network management controls. “We allow our users to define and create exactly what they want, unlike our competition which gives users very little option for customization,” says Taylor.
Sideband Networks offers both physical and virtual network monitoring tools based on their client needs. “This combination of physical and virtual solutions aid us in delivering the optimal solution,” says Taylor. Sideband does offer physical sensors like the SSP-1000 and the SSP-2000 to provide ease of deployment based on customer requirements. Both the physical and virtual solutions offered by Sideband Networks provide additional visibility to various levels of network. “Having a high level of transparency means resolving network problems faster,” Taylor adds.
Take the case of a company working in the Energy vertical that was plagued with intermittent network connectivity issues.

We are giving the user a solution that encourages an interaction with their data, specifically “alerts” from the Anticipation EngineTM to aid them in solving intermittent behavior issues
Sideband Networks credits this quick response to its well-designed Anticipation EngineTM that is core to their solution architecture. The engine provides real-time network-data and alerts to network troubles in advance. “To make a product relevant, you have to make a product that can be easily trusted. We stand to prove this,” says Taylor. “We are giving the user a viable means of interaction with the engine and have it work for them in a better means of enablement,” he adds. In the current economic scenario, to help companies expand, consultants are hired to solve many problems. Sideband Networks aims to improve this by creating an environment in-house, where solutions can be created and deployed effortlessly. The solutions are also compatible across a myriad of vendors. Further, the patents held by the company keep the competition at bay.
For the future, Sideband Networks plans to increase the co-ordination aspect of their product. This will aid the feedback given to the reconnaissance API engine. The company also plans on improving the network communication and automation aspects of their software and hardware solutions in the years to come.
