SWITCH 8800 NETWORK MONITORING MODULE

3

NetFlow provides network administrators with access to IP flow information from their data networks.
Network elements, such as routers and switches, gather flow data and export it to collectors and associated
network data application. The collected data provides fine-grained metering for highly flexible and detailed
resource usage accounting.

Netflow, when used in conjunction with a Data Network Exporter (like the Switch 8800 Network Monitoring
Module), Network Data Collector and Network Data Monitoring Application, can deliver the following 
features and benefits:

Simplified bandwidth monitoring 

Helps companies avoid complex monitoring and bandwidth management

solutions, and makes it easier to understand and handle bandwidth 

blockages.

In-depth traffic analysis 

Identifies the top applications, hosts and conversations using bandwidth, 

and immediately pinpoints bandwidth wastage.

Accurate capacity planning 

Identifies peak hour usage and historical trends, saves money through the 

accurate purchase of bandwidth.

Alerting based on threshold violations

Allows administrators to manage through exceptions and not manage 

constantly; supports automatic alerting through email and other vehicles.

Departmental bandwidth usage 

Identifies accurate bandwidth consumption at the individual department 

level and allows administrators to set appropriate bandwidth policies for 

proper utilization.

Custom reports 

Supports pre-built and custom reporting; enables reports to be emailed 

at desired schedules.

Reduced operational costs 

Enables faster troubleshooting through the use of raw and aggregate data; 

enables drill down for a rapid understanding of the network and facilitates 

appropriate action.

Effective data storage 

Provides up to one month or more of bandwidth data, depending on the 

Network Data Application and its Collector.

Effective graphs and charts

Allows easy-to-understand reports and make administrators’ jobs simple; 

provides reports over various time periods, enabling trend analysis.
