SolarWinds Real-Time NetFlow Analyzer 1.0
UNLOCK THE POWER OF NETFLOW ON YOUR NETWORK
Do you know how your network is being used? Can you see if your bandwidth is being used for good or evil? What about identifying those traffic spikes caused by marketing forwarding around the latest YouTube video or the occasional lunch-hour Warcraft tournament over in support? Did you know that you already have the resources on your network to answer all of these questions and more? All you need to do is unlock the power of NetFlow!
Never fear we have the key... we've developed a free tool that shows you exactly what's on your network. SolarWinds' newest free tool, Real-time NetFlow Analyzer, unlocks the power of NetFlow on your network, empowering you to shutdown the bandwidth hogs and ensure peak performance of your mission-critical network applications.
If you are new to NetFlow, you're going to love this powerful protocol developed by Cisco Systems to collect IP traffic information on routers. And, if you haven't already, it is easy to turn on flows on your existing Cisco routers to get deep visibility into what's happening on your network. We even have a free tool - NetFlow Configurator to help you remotely configure NetFlow v5 via SNMP on supported Cisco devices, so you can get started immediately.
Once you've turned on NetFlow, Real-time NetFlow Analyzer captures and analyzes this data in real time to show you exactly what types of traffic are on your network, where that traffic is coming from, and where it is going. Finally, you can take the guesswork out of diagnosing network traffic spikes and troubleshooting bandwidth issues with this free NetFlow monitoring tool!
Real-time NetFlow Analyzer displays inbound and outbound traffic separately for granular analysis that makes problem diagnosis quick and easy. Even better, you can view the historical NetFlow data broken out by application, conversation, domain, endpoint, and protocol. That way you know exactly how your bandwidth is being used and by whom.
AUSTIN, Texas – August 4, 2008 — SolarWinds, a leader in downloadable network management software, today announced the availability of a new free tool, Real-time NetFlow Analyzer . The software continuously captures and analyzes network traffic data, providing network engineers with an effective, easy to use vehicle for answering the age-old question, “Why is the network slow?”
The two most common causes for network speed complaints are insufficient network bandwidth and improper network usage. Both problems require engineers to measure exactly how the corporate network is being used and by whom. The overwhelmingly popular approach to this problem is to use the NetFlow protocol, which is designed to aggregate information about IP traffic from enabled devices on the network. With NetFlow analysis, engineers can easily determine if an individual application, user or device is clogging the network or if the cause is a systemic bandwidth issue that could dramatically impact business performance.
“The ability to gather and analyze NetFlow data is a critical aspect of monitoring network performance, but our experience shows that some companies are not adopting this best practice, despite the fact that their network is already capable of giving them the information, ” said Josh Stephens, SolarWinds’ Head Geek . “Our latest free tool demonstrates SolarWinds’ commitment to giving back to the IT community and allows users who are new to NetFlow to ramp up quickly and gain valuable insight on their network traffic in a matter of minutes.”
Stephens will also offer a quick how-to tutorial on NetFlow analysis in conjunction with the release of the free tool.
Since 2006, SolarWinds has offered NetFlow analysis support to thousands of its customers through the Orion NetFlow Traffic Analyzer and Engineer’s Toolset. The company is introducing the free tool as a means of encouraging education and adoption among a wider audience of users.
Real-time NetFlow Analyzer, available today, takes the guesswork out of configuring NetFlow devices and analyzing network traffic spikes in real time. The free “Starter Kit” download offers:
• NetFlow Configurator Tool – Configure NetFlow v5 via SNMP on supported Cisco® devices. Establish collectors for Cisco NetFlow data, specify the collector’s ‘listening’ ports, and enable monitoring of inbound and outbound (ingress/egress) traffic data per interface. This is the starting point for launching NetFlow analysis.
• Detailed Traffic Analysis – Visualize network details by isolating inbound and outbound traffic by conversation, application, domain, endpoint, or protocol to quickly troubleshoot network issues.
• Personalized Traffic Display – Quickly configure NetFlow data views with settings for sample period (up to 60 minutes of data), display mode, refresh rate, and the display units.
What is new in 1.0 software version? - Investigate, troubleshoot, and quickly remediate network slowdowns. Identify which users, devices, and applications are consuming the most bandwidth.
