Orion Netflow Traffic Analyzer Overview

Netflow Traffic Analyzer - Find the Bandwith Hogs!

SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer (NTA) analyses Cisco NetFlow, Juniper J-Flow, IPFIX, sFlow, & Huawei NetStream™ data to deliver a complete picture of network traffic, identifying who & what are consuming your bandwidth. With so many applications running over the network, it's good to know what the bandwidth on your network is being used for, not so long ago and we had to do it via network analysers and RMON probes.  In most cases we don’t really want to start capturing and decoding packets we just want more visibility on network traffic, who our top talkers are and what they are using the bandwidth for.

Bandwidth on the network is in constant demand now we are running many more business services over the network than we ever used to. Crucially these services relate directly to the productivity of your organisation. Orion Netflow Traffic Analyser (NTA) gives you this information from continuous streams of network traffic converted from your compliant network devices. The next time you get asked by management why the network performance isso slow you can hand over a set of reports or provide a dashboard view that shows them who the bandwidth hogs are and shut any non business activities down.
