Flowmon Attacks Packet Capture Market With Next-Gen Network Monitoring

SAN DIEGO, September 25, 2018 (Newswire.com) - ​Flowmon Networks (www.flowmon.com), the advanced network monitoring and security solutions company, today announced its global “It’s Flow Time” initiative to help enterprises to easily switch from legacy packet capture solutions to ones leveraging Enriched Flow Data technology. Enriched Flow Data technology overcomes the common scalability and cost issues of packet capture solutions while enabling the level of granularity for network troubleshooting and visibility needed in today’s complex networks.

Today, the dynamics and diversity of IT challenge prevailing approaches to network monitoring. Packet capture solutions struggle to bring expected results at affordable prices while facing challenges from increased network speeds and the visibility gaps caused by migration to the cloud, IoT and software-defined networking.

Packet capture solutions were designed at the time when the dynamics of today's network environments would have been hard to imagine. Currently, they operate well only in specific use cases, but they cannot bring the flexibility, scalability, and ease of use that flow data provides for the everyday use cases that network engineers face. We have created documents, tools, marketing, and sales processes to enable customers to understand the issues and shift from a legacy network monitoring paradigm to the one that fits the needs of a dynamic future.

“Packet capture solutions were designed at the time when the dynamics of today’s network environments would have been hard to imagine.

Flowmon is a network monitoring and diagnostics solution that utilizes the analysis of Enriched Flow Data, a combination of flow data (NetFlow & IPFIX), application visibility and performance metrics in one solution. It is a highly scalable solution for physical, virtual, cloud and hybrid environments, supporting even 100G networks.

The critical use cases for network troubleshooting and diagnostics that have been traditionally reserved for continuous packet capture solutions are now achievable with Flowmon technology. Critical cases include resolution of service degradation, configuration issues, usage reporting, capacity planning, and QoS tracking. Flowmon also enables monitoring of east-west traffic for security and brings overall control to the next level.

“By using Flowmon, network engineers can quickly pinpoint the root cause and start the resolution. In very specific use cases when packet capture is needed, Flowmon identifies the demanded traffic and starts on-demand packet capture. This massively shortens MTTR, storage resources and, thus, the costs of network operations,” said Artur Kane, Technology Evangelist at Flowmon.
