The Packet Scoop

Are users on your network sucking bandwidth with YouTube videos? Do your users know your email server is down before you do? Are there connectivity issues in a remote office? The PacketTrap Netflow Listener solves these problems and more.

Today we released Cisco Netflow support in our pt360 Network Management Tool Suite. Just click Help | Check for Software Updates in your pt360 Tool Suite.

As mentioned before our Netflow Listener is a bandwidth monitoring tool that helps optimize networks for peak performance. By providing in-depth visibility into network traffic and its patterns, the PacketTrap Netflow Listener gives IT system administrators / engineers knowledge of real-time network behavior and how traffic impacts the network’s overall health. Specifically, Netflow Listener actually provides a snapshot of packets of data as they traverse through the network - and the type of data (i.e., http, video, voice, etc).

One of the key issues in network management is knowing the origin and type of traffic. NetFlow Listener gives detailed information on network bandwidth usage pattern for traffic analysis, capacity planning and making policy decisions. By drilling down into the specific applications, IT network engineers are able to determine the exact source of spikes and bursts and therefore able to proactively monitor, control, and make informed decisions.

It is available via a 21-day trial as part of the pt360 Pro. At US $495, you will find no other toolsuite on the market as robust for an affordable price point as the pt360 PRO.

Networks are complicated; network management doesn’t have to be.
