Large enterprises which span across various countries face a challenge when it comes to monitoring bandwidth usage across various branches.  Harder still is the accountability, who is using what application or who is using a non-business-critical application which is clogging the bandwidth and suffocating a much needed business critical application.

At times, depending on the department in an enterprise, the critical applications will vary. In such a case it is important for network managers to account department wise bandwidth usage. For enterprises dealing with client projects, it is critical to keep track of bandwidth used by the enterprise team, for chargeback, allocated for that project.

NetFlow Analyzer Enterprise Edition has a distinct two-tier architecture which allows high scalability. Enterprise edition allows large enterprises to monitor branch offices spread across different geographic locations.

Billing for Enterprise Edition

NetFlow Analyzer allows the creation of IP groups, which can be used to segregate departments. For example, groups such as R&D or Finance or HR can be created by grouping the associated IP addresses. It is possible to monitor the traffic behavior for these groups and which applications are used. If need be, alert profiles can be set for these groups separately.

In case of enterprises dealing with client projects, the network manager can create group consisting of employees working for that project. Traffic reports consisting of applications and other details for that particular group can be monitored. In addition to that, this group can be associated with a user configured bill plan. The flexible bill plans allows creation of customized bill plans as per the needs of the enterprise. This can be used to chargeback / accounting. Enterprises can also use this to crosscheck the bills received from ISP’s.

Every penny saved is a penny gained!
