History
Plixer International was founded in 1999 by Michael Patterson (also currently the company's CEO). The company was built to create full-featured, easy-to-use network monitoring applications that would cost significantly less than traditional network monitoring software suites.
In 2006, Plixer International merged with Somix Technologies, Inc. and continued to develop and support its network monitoring software packages. It also partnered with several resellers around the world to establish a global presence in the network monitoring community.
Plixer International is headquartered in Sanford, Maine.
