Monitor Network Bandwidth with NetFlow Analysis software
Monitor Bandwidth - The easy way!
Network bandwidth monitoring is one of the most critical activities of an
enterprise network administrator. NetFlow Analyzer provides
several instant reports to monitor bandwidth including top talkers, top protocols,
top conversations, and more. Apart from these pre-defined
bandwidth reports, NetFlow Analyzer also includes options
to search for specific bandwidth
usage details based on IP address, host name, protocol,
and more.
Threshold Based Alerting
You can set thresholds for the bandwidth utilization and
get alerts and emails when the threshold value is exceeded.
This helps in quicker understanding of the problem in the
network and hence quicker action.
Bandwidth Monitoring without Probes
NetFlow Analyzer does network bandwidth
monitoring using NetFlow. NetFlow exports are collected,
correlated, and analyzed to get granular details to monitor bandwidth usage across each WAN link. There is no need for hardware
probes to monitor bandwidth usage. NetFlow Analyzer is an all software solution which is suitable for both Windows and Linux.
Real-time Bandwidth Monitoring
Bandwidth
monitoring reports for each interface shows the current,
average, and peak bandwidth usage patterns across each
NetFlow-enabled interface. With these bandwidth
usage statistics you can get instant visibility
into how much bandwidth was used up by hosts, applications,
and conversations across a specific interfaces.
Historical Bandwidth Usage Trends
Bandwidth
monitoring trends shows the usage patterns and traffic
trends across a day, week, month, and a year. With such
statistics, you can analyze how bandwidth
is used in your network, and decide if you need
to increase available bandwidth.
Application-wise Bandwidth Distribution
To monitor bandwidth utilized by different applications, NetFlow Analyzer gives you instant visibility
into which applications are using up maximum bandwidth.
You can also drill down to see the top sources, destinations and conversations
using the bandwidth. With such granular detail, network
troubleshooting and problem resolution take far less
time than with traditional tools.
Consolidated Bandwidth Usage Summary
Bandwidth reports summarizes the bandwidth utilized and show the overall
bandwidth usage statistics for a WAN link. You can
monitor bandwidth usage patterns in real time, along with details
on hosts, applications, and conversations using up bandwidth
for the selected time period. Options to see bandwidth
usage during peak working hours is also available.
As a network manager you need to be on top of your network to be in control of the day-to-day happenings in your network. Especially, with more and more businesses being increasingly dependent on the internet, it is very vital that you are in total control of your network.Any network outage has to be quickly attended to and fixed right away. More importantly any network incidents has to be pro-actively attended to. NetFlow Analyzer with its proactive alerting mechanisms ensure that you are informed of any network exceptions as it happens. Also the drill down features let you quickly pin down the cause of any network problems and troubleshoot faster.
It is also very essential that you ensure your business critical applications are not starved off bandwidth while non-critical activities like music downloads hog the available bandwidth. By giving you an indepth visibility in to your network and the bandwidth usage statistics you can appropriately set QoS policies. It is also possible to categorize applications that consume bandwidth by port, protocol and IP address. This way you can be fully empowered to ensure that the business critical applications always have the required bandwidth.
As a network administrator you need to have all the reports to take the right decision. Especially when it comes to bandwidth capacity planning decisions the stakes involved are high and even a small mistake can cost huge money. NetFlow Analyzer with its long range historical reporting lets you take the right decisions. Also as a network administrator you need to have periodic reporting to understand how the network is performing. NetFlow Analyzer's automatic report generation feature at scheduled time periods help you with just that.
Should you need any specific information at any point in time, you could just access the application for a quick snapshot. NetFlow Analyzer's dashboard presnet you with all the vital metrics you need to eb aware on as an administrator. You could drill down on it for any further infromation on any specific element of your network.
