Network Visibility
Real-time Network Visibility & Performance Monitoring
Real-time observability and proactive defense software where network failure and security breaches aren’t an option. Designed for high-stakes environments, NVRT gives you instant visibility into your network’s performance and security integrity.
In media environments where uninterrupted delivery is paramount, NVRT plays a crucial role in ensuring network resiliency. By identifying and prioritizing critical network elements, NVRT fortifies the network against potential failures and disruptions.
Discover how NVRT can transform your workflow by exploring the complete datasheet.
Traditional IT discovery lacks the functional and security context needed to protect real-time media workflows.
Ping sweeps and basic SNMP treat IPs identically. When an issue occurs, you don’t know if it’s a critical live broadcast server or a backend printer, masking operational risks.
NVRT correlates infrastructure data, NMOS, and traffic behavior to build dynamic identities. Know exactly where your cameras, mics, and servers sit in the workflow.
Operational networks run sensitive protocols (ST 2110, PTP) built for speed, not security. Generic IT tools cannot interpret these protocols or detect subtle cyber anomalies targeting them.
NVRT tracks SMPTE ST 2110 and PTP performance while concurrently identifying live traffic anomalies, rogue device connections, and real-time intrusions.
In broadcasting, performance isn’t just about speed; it’s about flawless execution. Waiting for a standard network alarm to trigger means dead air has already occurred.
By correlating endpoint performance and security anomalies, NVRT establishes precise baselines to proactively identify path degradation and microbursts.
Reduce Mean Time to Resolution for media-related issues.
Prevent service-affecting incidents with proactive anomaly detection.
Cut troubleshooting time and engineering escalations.
Achieve real-time asset visibility for operational compliance.
A moment of network instability can impact media workflows, derail financial trades, or halt vital operations.
Gain complete end-to-end visibility across your entire operational environment. See the intricate behavior of media flows, network paths, and infrastructure health in a single, unified view.
Move from reactive fixes to proactive prevention. NVRT’ real-time data analysis detects irregular patterns and emerging issues, allowing you to prevent service degradation before it ever impacts data delivery or the end-user experience.
NVRT is fundamentally vendor-agnostic, seamlessly integrating into any environment, regardless of your mix of network switch vendors and end devices. Eliminate data silos, simplify management, and gain a single source of truth across your entire operational workflow.
Gain complete confidence in your critical PTP timing architecture. NVRT automatically discovers and visualizes your entire clock chain, identifying the Grandmaster and every boundary clock in the path.
Fortify your critical workflows with a multi-layered defense. NVRT discovers all assets via network telemetry, identifies open ports to establish their attack surface, and then characterizes all communication to and from each open port.
Break down operational silos. Share dynamic, real-time dashboards and reports across operations and engineering teams to foster a common understanding, accelerate decision-making, and unify your incident response efforts.
Instantly pinpoint the origin of complex issues. With granular data on packet flows, PTP synchronization, and multicast routing, you can stop searching for the needle in the haystack and resolve problems with speed and precision.
Move beyond device stats to true flow intelligence. NVRT traces your application flows from source to destination, pinpointing path-dependent errors like asynchronous routing in ST 2022-7 environments to ensure complete signal integrity.
Ensure flawless operation in IP-based studios (SMPTE ST 2110), master control rooms, and post-production facilities requiring absolute PTP timing and multicast flow integrity.

NVRT empowers teams with actionable intelligence to ensure network reliability, stability, and performance.
Vendor management tools are excellent for configuring and checking the health of their own hardware. NVRT operates at a level above that. It’s a vendor-agnostic, end-to-end platform that focuses on the application workflow as it traverses the entire network, across switches from multiple vendors, through virtual environments, and out to the end devices. We trace critical flows like media streams or PTP timing from source to destination, providing context that isolated vendor tools cannot see.
NVRT is deployed as an on-premises platform. We understand that mission-critical operational networks often have stringent security requirements or are air-gapped, making a cloud-only solution impractical. Our on-prem model ensures that all your data and analytics remain securely within your environment, giving you maximum control and performance.
No. The NVRT platform is designed for non-disruptive, passive deployment. It primarily gathers data by analyzing network telemetry. It can be deployed on an “out of band” network or management network. It does not require “in-line” placement with your traffic and necessitates no changes to your existing network configuration or operational workflows to start providing visibility.
Absolutely. Being vendor-agnostic is a core design principle of NVRT. We specialize in providing a single, unified view across complex, multi-vendor ecosystems. Whether your switches are from Arista, Cisco, or another vendor, and your endpoints are from dozens of different manufacturers, NVRT normalizes the data to give you consistent, end-to-end visibility.
The fundamental difference is our data source and our focus. Traditional IT Network Management Systems (NMS) are device-centric. They rely on periodically polling devices for health stats via SNMP or vendor-specific APIs. This approach has critical limitations in an operational environment: it’s slow, it provides a fragmented view, and it lacks workflow context. It can indicate if a switch’s CPU is overloaded, but it cannot assess the performance of a critical media flow as it traverses the network.
NVRT, in contrast, is a flow-centric platform built on rich network telemetry.
Instead of just asking a device how it’s doing every few minutes, we analyze a continuous stream of data directly from the network fabric itself. This telemetry-driven approach provides a high-resolution, end-to-end picture of your entire operation. This is how we provide native intelligence for specialized protocols critical to your workflow, such as PTP for timing and multicast for media distribution, and instantly diagnose complex routing problems, like asynchronous paths in ST 2022-7 environments, which are entirely invisible to device-level SNMP polling.
NVRT is built to serve multiple teams. Engineers and Operators use it daily for proactive monitoring and rapid troubleshooting. Network Architects use it to validate designs and plan capacity. Security and Compliance Teams use it to ensure operational defense and complete asset visibility. By providing a common source of truth, it enhances collaboration across all technical departments.
The NVRT platform is delivered as an application designed to run on a standard Linux operating system. You have the flexibility to install it on your dedicated hardware or virtual machine (e.g., VMware, KVM) using either your own Linux distribution or the Ubuntu OS version supplied by Providius.
For a completely turnkey solution, Providius also offers a hardware appliance, a pre-configured server with the NVRT application installed on our supplied Ubuntu OS and ready for deployment.
Specific CPU, memory, and storage requirements depend on the scale of your network. We provide clear sizing guidelines for your specific environment. For pricing and deployment options, please get in touch with our sales team at sales@providius.com.
