Network traffic monitor now supports Cisco AVC, has better reporting tools, improved ability to catch cyber threats and better pricing
NetFlow has been around for a long time, which doesn’t mean tools that leverage it can’t be honed.
That’s what the founders of Plixer International thought over five years ago when it looked at the technology (first developed by Cisco systems Inc.) for collecting IP traffic information for monitoring.
This month the company released version 11 of its Scrutinizer flow analyzer, which it says has enhanced capabilities to identify cyber threats, refined reporting tools and a more flexible pricing mechanism.
“You can use our solution to not only troubleshoot application performance but also, when it sitting there, it’s doing its job looking through the flows and checking for abnormal behaviours,” said Plixer founder and CEO Michael Patterson.
Added to this version is support for Cisco’s new Application Visibility and Control (AVC) capability, which lets administrators prioritize business applications on the network, Patterson said. AVC also can find alternate paths on congested networks to ensure quality of service.
