NetVizura NetFlow Analyzer

NetVizura NetFlow Analyzer, from Soneco, is designed to help network admins with network traffic monitoring, analysis and reporting. The vendor says their solution enables users to do the following:

• Monitor network bandwidth on routers and interfaces
• Monitor custom traffic on IP subnets and IP subnets groups
• Monitor end user traffic (username based)
• Quickly get insight into traffic structure (top talkers) by hosts, services, protocols, conversations, QoS, AS
• Understand traffic trends on historical charts
• Schedule reports
• Set threshold based alarms
• Investigate flow records in fully searchable Raw Data archive
• Get fast and clear insight with Dashboard overview

NetVizura supports Cisco® NetFlow, IPFIX, NSEL and compatible netflow-like protocols (standardized NetFlow). As long as the user’s devices can export in these protocols (and most devices can) there is no need for additional hardware purchase. If a Netflow capable device is not available then users can set up a free NetFlow probe (e.g. Softflow) and send NetFlow datagrams to the NetVizura server. Traffic statistics can then be separated by departments or offices by utilizing Traffic Pattern functionality and identifying departments and offices by their IP subnets.
