LiveAction last week announced the acquisition of Savvius, a leading provider of packet-capture and analytics appliances and forensic software solutions.
LiveAction plans to combine its network performance management(NPM) solution with Savvius' packet monitoring technology to deliver both in a single product.
Headquartered in Palo Alto, LiveAction’s network management platforms are used by global enterprises and service providers for network performance visibility, SD-WAN visualization and verification, voice/video monitoring, and Quality of Service configuration.
The acquisition enables Savvius, formerly known as WildPackets, to accelerate the development of its Omnipliance, Omnipeek, and Insight products while fueling LiveAction’s visualization engine with new capabilities and vastly broader coverage of enterprise networks.
Savvius has been a leader for 25 years in packet capture, deep packet inspection, and network diagnostics solutions. Savvius Omnipeek software, Omnipliance packet-capture appliances, and WiFi solutions have become trusted industry standards for network management in datacenters and throughout distributed enterprises.

The combination of LiveAction’s flow analytics and Savvius’s packet technologies will transform the Network Performance Monitoring and Diagnostics market with solutions that advance the frontier of visualization and simplicity.
Larry Zulch, President and CEO, Savvius
Savvius and LiveAction have highly complementary offerings that will enable us to improve the experience of existing Savvius and LiveAction customers and target the entire NPMD market with superior solutions.
