1. Simplified Bandwidth Monitoring
In most enterprises, unmanaged bandwidth leads to inappropriate
applications taking priority over critical business applications
during peak hours. Bandwidth
reports in NetFlow Analyzer show you exactly what applications
have been using bandwidth during peak hours, and let you
drill down to see the top hosts using those applications.
This helps in controlling
bandwidth usage and enforcing better policies across
the enterprise. With its low price and ease of deployment,
NetFlow Analyzer becomes a very affordable alternative to
enterprises that need to monitor
bandwidth usage, but do not want to invest in complex
WAN monitoring and bandwidth management solutions.
2. In-depth Traffic Analysis
Without using hardware probes or appliances, NetFlow Analyzer
makes traffic
analysis both simple and effective. Apart from setting
up your routing/switching devices to export NetFlow data
to NetFlow Analyzer, no further configurations are necessary.
NetFlow Analyzer uses NetFlow®, sFlow®, cflowd®, J-Flow®, IPFIX®, NetStream® and Cisco NBAR®to show top applications, top hosts, and top conversations
using bandwidth. This information is vital in understanding
peak hour usage and historical
trends, and in the long run, aid in bandwidth
capacity planning and enforcing security policies.
3. QoS validation using Cisco CBQoS
To ensure that the business-critical applications receive the highest priority on your network, you can implement QoS policies. Using NetFlow Analyzer you can see the policies applied to various interfaces and you can validate these QoS policies by monitoring the pre-policy and post-policy status in different traffic classes.
4. Alerting Based on Thresholds
NetFlow Analyzer generates alerts, and sends you an email,
when the traffic utilization exceeds pre-defined threshold
settings. It also forwards SNMP traps to NMS / EMS application
for critical alerts in the network. This helps is quicker
fixing of the problem in the network.
5. Departmental Bandwidth Usage
Allows you to create IP address based departments / divisions
with options to filter based on application and interfaces.
You can then view bandwidth usage statistics for an IP
group exclusively. This information is vital in calculating
bandwidth costs and accounting for usage.
6. Custom Reports
Report criteria let you select specific parameters to report
on. For example, you can view bandwidth used by a specific
host or network, to access a single application during a
certain week. Such options give greater flexibility in meeting
your bandwidth monitoring needs.
7. Reduced Operational Costs
NetFlow Analyzer reduces costs by simplifying management
tasks. Troubleshooting
takes far less time than with packet analyzers that require
more time to analyze results and come to conclusions. Bandwidth
reports and drill down options make traffic
analysis faster and more efficient, thereby effectively
using key resources in the enterprise.
8. Reduced Training Costs
NetFlow Analyzer reduces training costs by providing a
simple and user-friendly web client to perform all operations.
It also includes an embedded MySQL database to store
the Flow data, thereby saving administrators from the
hassles of working with multiple packages and ensuring compatibility
between them.
9. Effective Data Storage
Data is stored in both aggregated and non-aggregated formats.
The aggregated top 100 is stored forever and provides reports
for capacity planning and long term reporting. The non-aggregated
(or raw) data can be stored for upto 1 month and allows
troubleshooting with 1 minute granularity.
10. Completely Web Based
NetFlow Analyzer is completely web-based, which makes it
easy to view traffic reports
across WAN links from anywhere on the network using just
a web browser.
