Yup! You can drill down to the root cause of the QoS issues that you are facing. If you have deployed QoS already then you might also want to know if you have allotted the right amount of priority for the various classes you have defined. That is made possible with the ManageEngine NetFlow Analyzer Professional Plus Edition. The report shows the pre-policy, post-policy and drops in different traffic class along with the queuing. This enables you to validate the QoS policies.

This is just one among the plethora of benefits of ManageEngine NetFlow Analyzer.

Try Professional Plus.

The changing educational setting:

The Educational Institutes today are at the crossroads of a massive technology sweep. Never before has imparting education been so technology intensive. Wi-Fi enabled campuses and Classrooms are the order of the day. More and more classrooms are going online. Thanks to streaming video - No longer do the staff and student need to be present in the same place, not even at the same time.

Against this backdrop, the importance of having the campus WAN network up and running becomes critical. As a network administrator you have to ensure that your staff and students are able to access the resource( any URL/Podcast/webcast) at anytime they need - and in a way that the overall bandwidth consumption does not shoot through the roof, resulting in a total network fiasco. You need to have a means of being alerted upon any threshold violations, so that you don’t end up monitoring the network activity all the time.

Also a tab on any unwarranted access to unnecessary/objectionable content can be easily had. This in a big way free-up your network for more vital activities. To Illustrate: Blocking all access to downloading music/video content off the web could result in a substantial bandwidth saving for someone wanting to access the online exam system/audio-video tutorials in the university intranet from a remote location.

ManageEngine NetFlow Analyzer :

ManageEngine NetFlow Analyzer helps you do all the above and more at ease. With NetFlow Analyzer your campus network comes under your control - literally.

ManageEngine NetFlow Analyzer has been succesfully deployed in various educational institutions of the world (universities, county colleges, private colleges etc). Visit our Customer List page to know a sample of institutions that have chosen to go with us.

so its been a long time now since we started interacting - over mail, support calls, demo sessions, forum postings, and blogs - however much the modern day technologies may bring us closer yet the joy of meeting one in person is something unique.

But come to think of this, with thousands of you guys(Our Valuable Customers) scattered across the globe we just can’t take time off to meet up with each of you. Instead, to start with, we are uploading a photo of a section of our team

Who is Who : Starting from Left -> Saran, Sathish, SivaGanesh, Sankar, Kiran, Raghu, Senthil

This is an attempt from us to bring a better visibility - a visibility like never before, if we could term it so.

There are many other folks whom you can get to see in the postings made earlier.
