Netflow Analyzer

Cisco System developed a technology called NetFlow that is supported by many other hardware vendors. Unlike other network traffic monitoring technologies, NetFlow is easier to setup and use. netflow requires the deployment of distributed hardware probes and the router or switch is setup in order to summarize every conversation incoming on each network interface and forwards it on to a collector, the Scrutinizer.

Scrutinizer is where the details are compiled and displayed in an easy to understand format that allows IT professionals to analyze the behavior of their network or network monitoring tasks. In order to report on top applications and top hosts on specific interfaces, it makes use of your existing NetFlow capable routers and switches. Plixer International has a product called Scrutinizer NetFlow Analyzer, which provides incredibly detailed network utilization information for the users and applications that are causing the most traffic. It provides details on how much bandwidth is being consumed by each of these variables from protocols per user to users per protocol. Moreover, the Scrutinizer is able to retrieve the traffic details you need and present them in a detailed graphical view.

You can visit visiting plixer International website in order to check further details about the product Scrutinizer NetFlow Analyzer. You can also purchase NetFlow probe and try their NetFlow v9 probe for 60 days. NetFlow v9 probe has wire speed 10/ 100 / 1000 Mbps per port, and 10 Gbps ports available.
