AdventNet Announces the Availability of NetFlow Analyzer

AdventNet has announced the immediate availability of NetFlow Analyzer 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 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 through this period and is available as a General Availability now.

Cisco NBAR performs deep packet inspection 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 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 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.
