Scrutinizer NetFlow Analyser
Version 6.0.0 Released
What is NetFlow?
NetFlow is a technology developed by Cisco Systems that is also supported by many other hardware vendors. NetFlow is far easier to setup and use than other network traffic monitoring technologies that require the deployment of distributed hardware probes. Basically, the router or switch is setup to summarize every conversation incoming on each network interface and forwards it on to a collector, like Scrutinizer, where the details are compiled and displayed in an easy to understand format that allows IT professionals to analyze the behavior of their network.
Scrutinizer uses your existing NetFlow capable routers and switches to report on top applications and top hosts on specific interfaces. It provides details on how much bandwidth is being consumed by each of these variables from protocols per user to users per protocol. Because Scrutinizer uses NetFlow technology on your existing routers, you never have to deploy or maintain probes. Scrutinizer goes beyond simple utilization graphs and tools like MRTG.
The Best Value in NetFlow & sFlow Reporting
Who, What, When and Where: Scrutinizer provides historical trends of the company's critical network interfaces as well as the details on:
- Who: The end system causing the traffic
- What: The application/protocol that is being used
- When: The time frame it has been occurring for
- Where: The network connection that is affected
Result: If something is consuming excessive bandwidth the end system can be identified quickly, without utilizing a packet analyzer.
