DATA SHEET
OVERVIEW
As enterprises deploy secure, converged networks, it is paramount that
they also implement detailed network analysis and planning tools. For
example, real-time applications such as VoIP demand the highest levels
of service and guaranteed QoS. Knowledge of network performance and
usage is crucial for the successful delivery and ongoing maintenance of
these strategic applications. 
The 3Com
®
Switch 8800 Network Monitoring Module interoperates
with other solutions to enable network managers to analyze network
traffic, view network usage and evaluate long-term trends, empowering
them to make proactive and strategic networking decisions. 
The Network Monitoring Module uses NetFlow, an IP flow-based 
technology, to monitor traffic. It includes an onboard operating system,
allowing the data acquisition process to be separated from the switch
processing; and, it is compatible with the 360 Gbps and 720 Gbps
switch fabrics. The module also:
Occupies any I/O slot in the chassis and is hot swappable;
Interfaces directly with the Switch 8800 high-capacity backplane;
Fully utilizes the internal crossbar switching capabilities of the
Switch 8800; 
Operates as a Network Data Exporter (NDE); and, 
Supports NetFlow versions 5, 8 and 9 compatible data export.
KEY BENEFITS
POWERFUL DATA PROCESSING AND EXPORT
This module provides a crucial element in the overall NetFlow applica-
tion architecture by operating as a Network Data Exporter (NDE). As 
an NDE, the Network Monitoring Module processes statistical data,
and then exports it across the network to the Network Data Collector
(NDC) and Network Data Analyzer Application (NDA). The NDC and
NDA provide the graphical user interface and reporting tools needed
to diagnose performance problems and report on historical trends. 
When combined with the other NetFlow system components, the
Network Monitoring Module provides network administrators with
broad and comprehensive views of their network, and allows them to
obtain detailed information for real-time analysis and long-term planning.
