Top-to-Bottom Network Analysis Solution
NetFlow Traffic Analyzer enables network engineers to quickly examine Cisco® NetFlow traffic data and to drill down into the data to determine traffic by user, application, department, conversation, interface, protocol and type of service bit in the NetFlow packet. Integration with Orion provides users with the deepest drill down across traffic patterns and into device performance, resulting in unprecendented visibility into usage, performance and availability statistics. Competitive offerings merely infer and estimate utilisation data.
Optimised Storage Engine
NetFlow Traffic Analyzer includes a service that intelligently summarises large amounts of raw NetFlow data, providing users quick access to historical data while minimising storage costs. The raw data is replaced by the summary allowing the customer to keep significant amounts of information ready for graphs and tables. In contrast, competitors either limit what the users can keep, or they create a large, hard-to-manage database with expensive storage costs.
Enterprise-Ready Management Infrastructure
NetFlow Traffic Analyzer is built on the mature Orion platform, providing users with all of the enterprise scalability and stability benefits of Orion. In contrast, competitor products are relatively new standalone tools with little track record of standing up to the high volume of Netflow data that will be generated by any but the smallest enterprise.
Increase Network Security
NetFlow Traffic Analyzer improves visibility into inbound traffic, exposing suspicious activities or anomalous patterns to identify a wide variety of intrusions, such as the SQL Slammer virus, and viruses that populate “fake" e-mail traffic in hopes of overloading Exchange servers.
