"Upon careful review of this year's applicants, it was clear to us that Plixer's Scrutinizer exhibits unique and innovative network management qualities worthy of receiving INTERNET TELEPHONY's 2011 Product of the Year Award," stated Rich Tehrani, CEO, TMC. "I would like to congratulate the entire team at Plixer for their commitment to advancing IP communication technologies."

Scrutinizer is a one hundred percent web-based tool that provides detailed network utilization reports showing the applications and users generating network traffic. Leveraging the software's domain utilization report, even sites with secured connections that use encrypted traffic can't hide from the insight provided by NetFlow and IPFIX collection and reporting.

Scrutinizer Product Manager, Michael Patterson, Plixer International, elaborates on the unique value Scrutinizer brings to the market, "Corporate networks, once reserved for business-related traffic only, are now being utilized for personal smartphone and tablet applications such as Facebook, YouTube and Netflix, that rob valuable bandwidth from business applications," Patterson said. "Scrutinizer is designed to peer deep into bandwidth traffic and enable the network administrator to easily see who is consuming bandwidth, what they are using it for and -- immediately restore precious bandwidth for work-related needs. We are humbled to have been selected as product of the year from among such notable competition."
