Top Talker Optimization
Top talker optimization allows you to focus your traffic analysis on the users and applications that consume the majority of network bandwidth. Orion NTA determines which flows are representative of the majority of bandwidth usage and stores those flows while disregarding flow data from users and apps that have a negligible impact on the overall bandwidth. This elegant solution boosts overall performance of Orion NTA up to 10x when capturing flows that represent 95% of the total network traffic.
Advanced Application Mapping
Knowing that 98% of your bandwidth is “web traffic” is nice. But knowing what percentage is being used by YouTube™, Facebook®, or Amazon®, versus critical business applications like Salesforce.com®, is really useful! Our new advanced application mapping feature in Orion NetFlow correlates the traffic arriving from designated ports, source IPs, destination IPs, and even protocols, to application names you can easily recognize.
IP Address Groups
Now Orion NTA allows you to create your own IP address groups to view network traffic the way that YOU want to see it! Using the IP address group feature, you can view network traffic by multiple ranges of IP addresses (even overlapping IP addresses), by geography, department, or even device types such as firewalls, routers, switches, and servers.
