WhatsUp Gold® NetFlow Monitor provides in-depth insight into how your network is performing, allowing you to gather information and then analyze, and
report on traffic patterns and bandwidth utilization in real time. WhatsUp Gold
NetFlow Monitor not only highlights overall utilization for the LAN or WAN or for
a specific device or interface, it also indicates the users, applications, and protocols
that are consuming valuable network bandwidth.
The New Reality of Network Management
Keeping your network running 7 x 24 x 365 days a year isn’t
enough anymore. Now you also have to understand how the network is being used in
order to ensure optimal performance. A slow network has adverse effects on the entire
business, and without the proper tools you can’t always pinpoint performance problems
quickly or efficiently.
If you can’t locate top talkers on your network or determine
traffic destinations both within and outside of your network, how can you tell if
YouTube video downloads are impacting overall performance or business-critical applications
are starved for bandwidth? When there’s a network performance problem, network managers
need to get in, analyze the information to understand the issue, and then rapidly
resolve the problem.
Better Insight Leads to Better Network Performance
With the WhatsUp Gold NetFlow Monitor, analyzing network
traffic patterns and understanding how network bandwidth is utilized has never been
simpler. WhatsUp Gold NetFlow Monitor provides the level of insight you need to
instantly identify network problems – such as which users are affecting overall
performance or which applications need more bandwidth – so you can take action to
ensure the network is performing within parameters.

Address Security and Compliance Issues Before They Become a Problem
WhatsUp Gold NetFlow Monitor enhances network security by providing detailed
reporting of failed connections by protocol type (TCP and UDP) and TCP port address.
This information gives you real-time indications of where external attacks may have
occurred
– enabling you to take action before a major security breach
can occur.
WhatsUp Gold NetFlow Monitor can help you ensure compliance
from both a legal and licensing perspective, as it detects unauthorized file-sharing
or music-sharing applications that can result in legal liability. These types of
applications can also provide a mechanism for the introduction of viruses and worms
into the corporate network, so their early detection and de-installation is critical.
Improve Network Insight with Real-Time Reporting
Empower your network managers to make the best decisions
possible with real-time data. WhatsUp Gold NetFlow Monitor delivers powerful reporting
capabilities that transform raw network traffic data into useful information on
network trends, utilization, and bandwidth consumption.
Additional reports present NetFlow data in real time as
well as summary data for historical trend analysis. All reports are fully configurable
and can be filtered based on any definable parameters in the NetFlow workspace.
In addition, WhatsUp Gold Net-Flow Monitor reports can be fully integrated with
WhatsUp Gold’s extensive reporting giving you a consolidated view of not only network
status, but also how the network is being utilized.
Flexible and Comprehensive NetFlow Analysis
The WhatsUp Gold NetFlow Monitor plug-in integrates with
all editions of WhatsUp Gold (Standard, Premium, Distributed and MSP). WhatsUp Gold
NetFlow Monitor is fully scalable, and depending on your network size, it offers
the flexibility to install a version fully integrated with WhatsUp Gold, or as a
standalone installation for enterprise networks with large amounts of measurable
traffic.
WhatsUp Gold NetFlow Monitor gives you a global view of
your network traffic with the relevant information you need to understand what applications
and which users and protocols are consuming network bandwidth.
