Overview
With globalization, the world has become as one cosmopolitan. The enterprises are spreading out at exponential rates, the networks are getting complicated and networkers are looking for more efficient ways to troubleshoot network incidents. Troubleshooting aside, the management also seeks informed decisions from the networkers for taking capacity planning decisions. NetFlow Analyzer seeks to help such networkers with the Enterprise Edition.
NetFlow Analyzer Enterprise Edition is a scalable traffic analysis and network forensic tool for monitoring your network. It relies on NetFlow / sFlow data received from switches and routers and caters to the needs of large enterprises with distributed networks. It can scale to monitor tens of thousands of interfaces or switch ports. NetFlow Analyzer Enterprise Edition enables rapid troubleshooting of network incidents, tracking of worms and security violations more effectively and helps in planning your network upgrades in a more informed manner. A high level of automation and intuitive reporting ensures easy understanding and insight into your network.
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.

NetFlow Analyzer's automatic report generation feature at scheduled time periods help you with just that.
