I think most companies overlook the importance of tools. In my current role we took ticket cycle time down from 160 hrs to 22 mostly attributed to adding Empirix. Adding their analytics package will then enable me to be proactive and able to detect issues BEFORE our customers feel them.

I'm in the market for some new hardware to tidy this up a bit, curious - what does your deployment look like? what type of hardware are you using? do you split your capturing up (send/receive) or have any other hardware tips?</div>
