SolarWinds, a publicly traded IT management software firm, has announced the release of its network utilization and bandwidth monitoring solution, SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer (NTA).

The company said it enhanced the solution’s performance with increased flow processing speed and detailed one-minute data visibility, aiming to provide IT professionals with the highly specific data they need to identify and address network bandwidth problems.

SolarWinds NTA aims to provide real-time network utilization and bandwidth monitoring for streamlined reporting of NetFlow, J-Flow, sFlow, IPFIX, and Huwai for Netstream data, enabling IT pros to keep a close watch on network traffic data, identify bandwidth hogs and build customized reports of network traffic.

The latest version of SolarWinds NTA has the ability to process 50,000 flows per second or more, which is 400% faster flow processing speed than it had in the previous version. SolarWinds NTA aims to allow IT pros to quickly capture finely granular data from continuous streams of network traffic and convert those raw numbers into simple charts.

The charts quantify exactly how the corporate network is being used, by whom and for what purpose, and then allowing them to impede undesirable or hazardous practices.

The company said SolarWinds NTA makes it possible to retain one-minute granularity of network traffic data. 

IT pros can see exactly when an issue occurred which allows them to make a fast and accurate diagnosis of the network traffic issues such as bandwidth spikes or microbursts.  IT pros can, then, view the data up-to-the-minute on interactive charts and generate reports on historical traffic usage for any applications, endpoints, or domains over a specified time interval.
