Sterling, VA, October 26 2009 – Simena, the innovative leader of network monitoring and testing solutions, today announced that a major financial firm plans to deploy Simena's Packet Flow Switch products as part of their global monitoring network. Simena's Packet Flow Switches (PFS) and Network Taps will provide a key component to their solution for managing application and network latency by maximizing the use of their monitoring tools.

Simena's PFS and taps will be deployed more than 20 sites around the world. These systems will provide wire-speed 10 gigabit Ethernet monitoring capabilities to their network.
