The GigaStor is offered in rackmount and portable versions. The rackmount version easily integrates into your rack system with its standard 3U or 4U form factor.

The appliance then reports back to any Observer® Expert or Observer Suite console on the network.

If mobility is a concern, Network Instruments offers GigaStor Portable, a luggable, all-in-one unit for performing in-the-field forensics.

The portable unit includes 2 TB of total storage, Observer Suite, and GigaStor Probe software in a self-contained system for collecting, analyzing, and displaying all network data.
