PacketTrap Networks (http://blog.PacketTrap.com) a mix of personal experiences, opinions and technical information about topics relevant to the network management community. These topics include networking tools, market acceptance of software as a service (SaaS), open source solutions, and opinions about other network management solutions.
The Packet Scoop began on Google's blogspot to chronicle PacketTrap CEO Steve Goodman's search for the most affordable, simple and effective network management solution. The blog detailed
his findings that shaped his ideas for what has become PacketTrap's technology roadmap today. Now part of PacketTrap's corporate website, the main purpose of the blog is to present
PacketTrap's product development ideas and other feedback that has been gathered from the network engineering community. Postings on the blog record the birth of the PT360 network
management toolsuite, a solution that was purpose-built for network engineers.
"PacketTrap Networks believes that there is an opportunity for a solution that provides IT System Administrators and Network Engineers with more effective options and better price points
that what is available today," said Goodman. "There is a huge gap between free and/or open source solutions and expensive, over-featured commercial solutions and PacketTrap's network
management tools fill that void."
