PathSolutions Announces Innovative Netflow Implementation

SwitchMonitor v3.6 Released with Live Netflow Module

June 17, 2009, Santa Clara, CA ― PathSolutions’ Netflow module is revolutionary in that it the only solution on the market that is able to report on live, in-progress flows. This answers the critical question of who is slowing down the network and what they are doing, live.

Other Netflow collectors are limited in that they can only report on flows after the flow is completed (when the slowdown event is over). Existing Netflow solutions also suffer from scalability issues, as they recommend collecting flows from only 3-4 interfaces before requiring additional high-powered collection servers.

“Network engineers can finally answer the question ‘Who’s slowing down my network and what are they doing’”, said Tim Titus, CTO of PathSolutions. “All of the other Netflow solutions have serious limitations regarding timeliness of information and scalability issues. Our solution discloses live flow information and scales to monitor thousands of Netflow interfaces without requiring an expensive server.”

PathSolutions Netflow module is fully integrated into their SwitchMonitor product as a licensable module, and is available today.
