VMware has done a good job in improving awareness by supporting NetFlow and IPFIX data, wrote Patterson. http://www.tmcnet.com/channels/netflow/articles/323223-better-integration-between-solera-ipfix-netflow-based-scrutinizer.htm http://www.tmcnet.com/channels/netflow/articles/323223-better-integration-between-solera-ipfix-netflow-based-scrutinizer.htm Wed, 16 Jan 2013 16:41:28 GMT Solera IPFIX and and Plixer's flexible Netflow-based traffic reporting solution, Scrutinizer, now play nice with each other on the same network. http://www.tmcnet.com/channels/netflow/articles/321897-netflow-definitely-go-wins-product-the-year-award.htm http://www.tmcnet.com/channels/netflow/articles/321897-netflow-definitely-go-wins-product-the-year-award.htm Tue, 08 Jan 2013 09:55:11 GMT As businesses nowadays must select a product that can scale according to increasing needs in the not so distant future, it is important to their success that they begin to leverage a robust solution that can efficiently and closely monitor all types of traffic taking place within their network. That is exactly why companies regularly turn to flexible NetFlow, a next generation analyzer tool that can push flow collection rates above 100,000 flows per second, which can also transition that data into traffic patterns. http://www.tmcnet.com/channels/netflow/articles/321724-exporting-netflow-ipfix-proving-major-dilemma-with-some.htm http://www.tmcnet.com/channels/netflow/articles/321724-exporting-netflow-ipfix-proving-major-dilemma-with-some.htm Mon, 07 Jan 2013 09:31:57 GMT One critical decision that a lot of engineering teams-especially where first time vendors are concerned-is whether to export NetFlow or IPFIX. Neither is particularly difficult or costly to implement so the decision on the surface seems fairly evenly matched. So the question of just which route to go may be a difficult decision, until a closer look at the two forms is taken. http://www.tmcnet.com/channels/netflow/articles/321523-condusiv-technologies-unveils-new-vm-acceleration-software.htm http://www.tmcnet.com/channels/netflow/articles/321523-condusiv-technologies-unveils-new-vm-acceleration-software.htm Fri, 04 Jan 2013 08:50:32 GMT IntelliMemory RAM caching technology reduces I/O bottlenecks by intelligently caching active data, thus eliminating unnecessary I/O traffic and improving performance by up to 50 percent.

Touted as powering real-time situational awareness into various applications and highlighting their associated behaviors on an enterprise network, this solution can also log NAT and firewall events from a Cisco ASR router to a flow collector and report on the vital data using NetFlow v9. http://www.tmcnet.com/channels/netflow/articles/320647-latest-netflow-release-brings-added-security.htm http://www.tmcnet.com/channels/netflow/articles/320647-latest-netflow-release-brings-added-security.htm Tue, 25 Dec 2012 08:00:00 GMT As I've reported before, one solution that helps counteract the security risk from BYOD is Cisco's NetFlow technology. NetFlow is a network protocol that collects IP traffic information and can be used to secure corporate networks. http://www.tmcnet.com/channels/netflow/articles/320079-botnets-netflow-how-detect-them-before-they-wreak.htm http://www.tmcnet.com/channels/netflow/articles/320079-botnets-netflow-how-detect-them-before-they-wreak.htm Tue, 18 Dec 2012 11:40:08 GMT The Internet is rife with scary stuff. People are becoming increasingly aware of the bad junk that can happen and are taking the proper precautions to arm themselves, whether it's from a bad e-mail attachment or visiting a bum site. Despite the known rubbish out there, new threats become available, and as if malware wasn't enough of a problem, now we have botnets. http://www.tmcnet.com/channels/netflow/articles/320048-not-only-flowing-but-on-a-rolling-looking.htm http://www.tmcnet.com/channels/netflow/articles/320048-not-only-flowing-but-on-a-rolling-looking.htm Tue, 18 Dec 2012 09:50:29 GMT This year has been a very busy one for Maine-based Plixer. It makes complete sense why the company is continuing to draw in customers as networks are only increasing in complexity as of late with the constant introduction of new devices into the enterprise infrastructure. Hence, tools such as flexible NetFlow are now about as important to any business as a steady revenue stream and satisfied customers are. http://www.tmcnet.com/channels/netflow/articles/319619-bloomington-public-schools-scores-with-plixer-netflow-analyzer.htm http://www.tmcnet.com/channels/netflow/articles/319619-bloomington-public-schools-scores-with-plixer-netflow-analyzer.htm Thu, 13 Dec 2012 10:55:42 GMT Plixer International, which specializes in NetFlow-based network traffic reporting solutions, developed its robust toolset to help customers better protect their networks.
