Happy Friday everyone!

It’s been a really busy week here at the office since the buzz is out on our Scrutinizer v7 NetFlow/sFlow traffic analyzer. Overall the launch has been a great success and everyone really likes the changes that we’ve made.

But nothing is more fun that announcing that a cool product just got cooler…

With that being said, we are happy to announce that we have officially released Scrutinizer v7.0.1!

With a few updates, optimizations and tweaks, we’ve made v7 that much better and the best release to date.

So if you haven’t already, head on over to the Plixer website and grab your v7.0.1 update.
