SolarWinds ORION NetFlow Traffic Analyzer v3.0.0.0

Orion NetFlow Traffic Analyzer v3.0.0.0 - provides a new level of visibility into network traffic behavior and trends. By leveraging Cisco's NetFlow protocol to extract data from routers, NetFlow Traffic Analyzer provides an in-depth view into which users and applications are consuming the most bandwidth.

NetFlow Traffic Analyzer provides a new level of visibility into network traffic behavior and trends. Use the scrollbar below to explore the powerful features that enable NetFlow Traffic Analyzer to provide an in-depth view into which users and applications are consuming the most
bandwidth.

NetFlow Traffic Analyzer enables you 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 deep drill-down across traffic patterns and into device performance, resulting in unprecedented visibility into usage, performance and availability statistics. Competitive offerings merely infer and estimate utilization data, but together NetFlow Traffic Analyzer and Orion deliver the real metrics you need to optimize network performance and plan for future growth.
By converting NetFlow data into charts and tables, NetFlow Traffic Analyzer provides you with an easy way to identify and isolate the cause and source of network problems. Pie charts show the distribution of bandwidth across different types of traffic (e.g., HTTP, FTP, VoIP) and across different users. Line charts and area charts show usage patterns and traffic distribution over time. NetFlow Traffic Analyzer can also identify the source of external traffic inbound to the corporate network.

NetFlow Traffic Analyzer includes a service that intelligently summarizes large amounts of raw NetFlow data, providing you with quick access to historical data while minimizing storage costs.
Raw NetFlow data is replaced by the summary, allowing you to keep significant amounts of information available for graphs and tables, while reducing the amount of storage required. In contrast, other products either limit the amount of NetFlow data that can be stored, or they create large, hard-to-manage databases with expensive storage costs.
NetFlow Traffic Analyzer is built on the mature Orion network performance management platform, providing users with all of the enterprise scalability and stability benefits of this tried and true platform.
Additionally, NetFlow Traffic Analyzer delivers scalable functionality that is important to enterprise-class organizations, such as the ability to monitor interfaces with multi-gigabit throughput and the ability to store NetFlow data long term. In contrast, other products are relatively new standalone tools with little track record of standing up to the high volume of NetFlow data that will be generated most enterprises.
New Features in Version 3 Include:
- Identifies network-wide top talkers and top applications so that you always know who and what are using the most bandwidth.
- Provides QoS performance views to determine if the network is best configured to meet company goals and to easily view network traffic segme-nted by Class of Service methods, such as Type of Service or DSCP.
- Supports NetFlow v5, NetFlow v9, J-Flow, and sFlow v5 data.
- Performs port application grouping to facilitate investigation of application-specific performance issues.
- Enables creation of personalized views by filtering NetFlow information by specific parameters, such as domain traffic generated during standard office hours (8am to 5pm) from a specific IP address.
- Offers fully integrated NetFlow resources within Orion views.
