LEXINGTON, MA -- 10/06/08 --
Ipswitch, Inc.'s Network Management division,
the leading developer of
network management software,
announced today the immediate availability of WhatsUp Gold NetFlow Monitor
-- a plug-in module for WhatsUp Gold Version 12.3 Standard, Premium,
Distributed and MSP Editions.
WhatsUp
Gold NetFlow Monitor provides traffic flow identification and reporting
based on Cisco's NetFlow technology. It delivers instant insight into how
efficiently any network is performing and how bandwidth is being utilized.
NetFlow is a Cisco-developed technology embedded in many routers and
switches to provide information on the packets moving through a device,
from source to destination and back. This movement is defined as a "flow."
For example, a flow could represent a user accessing an application or
Website and the application's response. NetFlow identifies these traffic
flows and provides classification of them using source and destination
addressing.
WhatsUp Gold NetFlow Monitor gathers information from
NetFlow-enabled switches and routers allowing network administrators to
analyze and report on network traffic patterns. Applications and users that
are inappropriately consuming bandwidth can be rapidly identified. WhatsUp
Gold NetFlow Monitor presents detailed information to assess network
quality of service and quickly resolve traffic bottlenecks. Uniquely,
because NetFlow Monitor is a plug-in to WhatsUp Gold, NetFlow data is
available to the base network management application for in-depth reporting
and further network analysis.
The WhatsUp Gold product family enables true real-time monitoring of
network devices and adds configurable reports to allow
up-to-the-second intelligence about and visibility into monitored systems
or devices. WhatsUp Gold boasts far more scalability, functionality and
capabilities than point products traditionally delivered to small and
mid-sized businesses (SMBs). Additionally, pricing is often many times
lower than competitors'
enterprise-class network management solutions.

"When customers asked us to develop a NetFlow monitoring solution, we took
the time to get it right, making it very straightforward and easy to use,"
said Ennio Carboni, Vice President, Ipswitch Network Management. "What's
more, we designed NetFlow Monitor as a scalable solution, offering network
administrators the flexibility to install it either fully integrated with
WhatsUp Gold or as a separate, dedicated NetFlow Monitor implementation for
high-traffic networks."
