AdventNet Announces the General Availability of NetFlow Analyzer.With Enhanced Application Visibility using Cisco NBAR NBAR Network-Based Application Recognition (Cisco) NBAR National Bureau of Asian Research NBAR Nonbinding Allocation of Responsibility NBAR Non Binding Preliminary Allocation of Responsibility PLEASANTON, Calif. -- AdventNet Inc., the leading provider of affordable enterprise IT management software today announced the immediate availability of NetFlow Analyzer analyzer /ana·ly·zer/ (an´ah-li?zer) 1. a Nicol prism attached to a polarizing apparatus which extinguishes the ray of light polarized by the polarizer. 2. 5.5 (General Availability), with support for Cisco NBAR (Network Based Application Recognition). ManageEngine NetFlow Analyzer is the market leader in flow based traffic analysis and network forensics See computer forensics. with a user base of over 200,000 worldwide. The Early Access (EA) version of this release was made available 2 months before. Following customer feedback and suggestions to EA, the product went through continuous improvisation improvisation Creation of music in real time. Improvisation usually involves some preparation beforehand, particularly when there is more than one performer. Despite the central place of notated music in the Western tradition, improvisation has often played a role, from the through this period and is available as a General Availability now. Cisco NBAR performs deep packet inspection Analyzing network traffic to discover the type of application that sent the data. In order to prioritize traffic or filter out unwanted data, deep packet inspection can differentiate data, such as video, audio, chat, voice over IP (VoIP), e-mail and Web. to provide intelligent identification and classification of application traffic in real time. This allows system administrators to use the classification reports and set QoS standards. The new release also supports advanced application categorization based on IP address, apart from the port and protocol from the NetFlow data. Additional enhanced features of NetFlow Analyzer 5.5 GA include: -- Automatic scheduling and emailing of reports -- Support for NetFlow version 9 -- The raw data storage period also has been enhanced to 1 month from 2 weeks -- Grouping multiple sub-interfaces into a single logical entity to monitor traffic -- Support for ToS and TCP (1) (Transmission Control Protocol) The reliable transport protocol within the TCP/IP protocol suite. TCP ensures that all data arrive accurately and 100% intact at the other end. Flag 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 1. real-time - Describes an application which requires a program to respond to stimuli within some small upper limit of response time (typically milli- or microseconds). Process control at a chemical plant is the classic example. 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. "We use NetFlow on a daily basis to provide visibility on traffic patterns within our firewalled perimeter The boundary of a system or network, which defines the inside and outside. It is typically determined by firewalls and addresses. See DMZ. . 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 Queen's University, at Kingston, Ont., Canada; nondenominational; coeducational; founded 1841 as Queen's College. It achieved university status in 1912. It has faculties of arts and sciences, education, law, medicine, and applied science, as well as schools of of Belfast, Ireland. "The kind of response that we received during the 2 month Early Access period was encouraging, both in terms of the readiness to try and the quality of feedback," said Raghu Ramanujam, Product Manager of NetFlow Analyzer at AdventNet, Inc. "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," he added For details on NetFlow Analyzer refer: www.netflowanalyzer.com NetFlow Analyzer 5.5 General Access is available for a free 30 day trial from: http://manageengine.adventnet.com/products/netflow/download.html About AdventNet Founded in 1996, AdventNet delivers cost effective software solutions that meet the technical and implementation challenges of over 10,000 customers and partners worldwide.
