AdventNet Releases Free Edition of NetFlow Analyzer for Bandwidth
Monitoring using Cisco NetFlow
Pleasanton, California, November 9, 2005
AdventNet today announced the release of a Free
Edition of NetFlow Analyzer, its popular bandwidth monitoring software
that uses Cisco NetFlow. This new release is especially appealing
to small and medium enterprises, which need to account for bandwidth
usage across a comparatively smaller network. The Free Edition can
analyze, and report on NetFlow data collected from a maximum of
2 interfaces. Apart from this, the Free Edition offers all the features
of the Professional Edition and can be downloaded directly from:
http://www.netflowanalyzer.com/
NetFlow Analyzer collects and analyzes NetFlow
data exported from Cisco routers and switches. This data is then
used to generate intuitive reports on top hosts, top applications,
top protocols, top conversations, and more. Custom reports allow
operators to see bandwidth usage details across interfaces and IP
addresses. NetFlow Analyzer also includes options to view bandwidth
usage per application, and per department, based on IP address ranges,
and port – protocol combinations.
The latest release of NetFlow
Analyzer – 4.0.2 – includes reports on autonomous
systems (AS), and support for NetFlow version 7. NetFlow Analyzer
is also localized in Chinese and Japanese with support for more
languages expected shortly.
"We use NetFlow on a daily basis to provide
visibility on traffic patterns within our firewalled perimeter.
It is used both as a fault-finding tool, and a management tool to
provide forecasting and monitoring facilities of our existing and
future traffic requirements. NetFlow Analyzer's standard interface
reports and custom reports are very helpful for us to determine
network problems," said Garry Crothers, Network Engineer at
Queen’s University of Belfast, Ireland.
"Independent of size, the bandwidth
monitoring needs of small enterprises are very similar to that
of their larger counterparts. Most small businesses should find
the new Free Edition suitable for their current bandwidth monitoring
needs, " said Raghunandhan Ramanujam, Product Manager of NetFlow
Analyzer at AdventNet.Inc. "As their infrastructure expands
over time, they have the option of upgrading to the Professional
Edition without losing data", he added.
