Fluke Networks NetFlow Tracker
Voice & Data Convergence
As more applications depend on IP networks for their functionality, it is vital that network management has a clear picture of what is happening.
- Coverage - Providing the complete picture of what is happening on IP networks handling data, voice and performance-critical applications such as thin client.
- Conversation visibility - Seeing into all 'conversations' provides the insight needed to make informed decisions about capacity management, quality-of-service provisioning and forward capacity planning.
- Capacity - Can the network cope with a planned or actual VoIP implementation? NetFlow Tracker can help provide the answer.
- Quality-of -Service visibility - Where network capacity becomes an issue, network engineers must decide on which quality-of-service parameters must be selected, to ensure that network-critical sensitive applications, such as Voice over IP, deliver the required level of service. NetFlow Tracker and other Crannog products help network engineers make that decision by monitoring TOS or DiffServ values before, during and after traffic engineering.
Support Services
Keeping networks running smoothly is very demanding on managers and administrators. The insight and information we provide can greatly ease that burden.
- Data visibility - Today, semi-technical and non-technical management also need some understanding of the huge volume of data generated by network monitoring, so they can make decisions in the best interest of the organisation. Reports generated by NetFlow Tracker can be configured to the needs of all such audiences.
- Quality of Service and Continuity - User expectations, increasing competition, the global economy: these all combine to demand networks that never go down and that act positively to limit security breaches. Tracking network activity and performance is central to such provision.
- Operational Support - Systems administrators, managers and users all need support from the network. Being able to observe and understand the impact of what they are trying to do requires in-depth information from NetFlow Tracker.
