Dartware Enhances InterMapper with NetFlow Traffic Analysis

(Wireless News Via Acquire Media NewsEdge)
Dartware announced that its latest version of the InterMapper network
monitoring and traffic analysis software includes fully integrated
NetFlow data collection and reporting.

"We've always concentrated on making it fast and easy for network
managers to see exactly what's happening on their networks at any
moment," said Rich Brown, CEO of Dartware. "Now, specific information
about traffic flow and sources has been added to the live network map
that includes all devices and connections and their performance status.
Put more simply, network managers using InterMapper will identify and
locate bandwidth hogs with the click of a button."

Dartware partners and beta testers have already benefitted from the new
InterMapper Flows feature.

"In the first 2-3 hours of using InterMapper Flows we found a machine
that was generating huge amounts of DNS traffic in comparison to the
usual traffic we see," said Lyndon Labuschangne, Network Manager for
Ecko Technologies, Dartware's VAR partner in Johannesburg, South
Africa. "DNS traffic is usually pretty low compared to e-mail and web
traffic so unless someone had been constantly reading firewall logs,
this would have gone unnoticed for days. Instead, we immediately took
the machine off the network and got it cleaned up."

InterMapper Flows conducts full-fidelity NetFlow analysis. The amount
of precision and detail delivered allows network managers to pinpoint
bandwidth hogs and their behavior.

"If there's a lot of traffic on the last day of each month and you know
it's attributed to sales figures from remote offices being sent to
headquarters, you want to be sure that bandwidth is available," said
Brown. "If you see that heavy traffic at 5 on Fridays is your summer
intern's MP3 uploads for the weekend, you want to have a talk with the
intern and his manager."

InterMapper with InterMapper Flows is now available from Dartware and
its international network of resellers.
