VirTool Networks Inc. announces the release of VirTool Network Analyzer, a tool designed to simplify the process of fixing network problems on OpenStack.


OpenStack is experiencing rapid growth in popularity and is attracting the attention of small and large enterprises alike.  However, OpenStack is a very complicated suite of software and pilot projects frequently fail due to the difficulty of correct configuration and the high level of expertise needed to operate the cloud system.


“OpenStack is an immensely powerful platform, but many organizations are struggling to make it successful due to the complexity of its networking component” says company CTO, and founder, Paul Archard. “Our product demystifies the virtual network and helps IT workers react to network issues faster and with much less pain. We provide powerful, modern software to an industry currently working with very basic tools”.


VirTool Network Analyzer delivers complete layer 2 virtual network visualization along with advanced packet capture and traffic tracing capabilities. It allows network engineers to identify the cause of failures in a fraction of the time compared to conventional methods.


“We believe that OpenStack is poised to capture significant enterprise market share, providing the tools are available to support its deployment”, Archard said. “We are proud to announce VirTool Network Analyzer and believe it will make a real difference to the successful deployment and operation of OpenStack-based clouds”.


VirTool Networks Inc. is based in British Columbia, Canada and was founded in 2016 by Paul Archard, a veteran of the networking industry and the lead architect at several successful startups. Its mission is to enable companies to make cloud technology successful for their business. More information is available at www.virtoolnetworks.com.
