NetFlow Analyzer is a web-based bandwidth monitoring tool that
collects Cisco NetFlow and Cisco NBAR data exported from routing
devices, to analyze network traffic and report on bandwidth usage
across the network. With instant real-time bandwidth usage reports
on top applications, conversations, and hosts using bandwidth, NetFlow
Analyzer gives valuable insight into bandwidth usage in the enterprise
without the complexity and expense involved in deploying hardware
and software probes.
"By providing a real time usage statistics, NetFlow has empowered
us to understand corporate in-house application network requirement
and bandwidth usage. That has helped us in capacity planning and
imposing required measurements. Application wise, it is very user
friendly and away from routine network heavy terminology. My primary
objective behind NetFlow Analyzer was to bring visibility of network
usage and based on that perform capacity planning for future application
requirement, which I can confirm happily is fully achieved, "
said Milan Modi ME, Area communication engineer at BAH-AO, Kingdom
of Bahrain.
"With enterprises more dependent on complex networked applications
than ever, in-depth and accurate analysis of network traffic is
crucial for optimal performance of applications. We are glad to
utilize Cisco NetFlow and Cisco NBAR technologies to bring layer
2 to layer 7 visibility," said Raghunandhan Ramanujam, Product
Manager of NetFlow Analyzer at AdventNet, Inc.
