Network Utilization
with NetFlow Traffic Analyzer
Monitor network utilization to optimize your network performance
Easily monitor network traffic using an array of metrics
Network bandwidth utilization monitoring is essential to finding the root cause of a slow network. SolarWinds® NetFlow Traffic Analyzer (NTA), offers a network utilization monitor for providing comprehensive network traffic and bandwidth analysis based on SNMP monitoring and flow data. With streamlined network bandwidth utilization monitoring, NTA allows you to detect, diagnose, and resolve network performance issues with ease.
Identify top talkers within minutes to address high bandwidth usage
NTA can help you understand your network bandwidth utilization through interactive charts and graphs for the insights you need. NTA flow analytics can use the NetFlow, J-Flow, sFlow, NetStream, and IPFIX data built into most routers. The monitoring top talkers feature helps identify which users, applications, and protocols consume most of the bandwidth.
Prioritize network bandwidth utilization by the most important devices
High-priority applications like VoIP (and other cloud-based applications) need bandwidth priority. NTA allows you to configure predefined QoS policies, prioritizing traffic flow to your most crucial applications. Then, you can measure pre- and post-policy traffic levels per class map to determine if your QoS policies are working. With NTA, you can decide what devices need the bandwidth and make them a priority.
Get bandwidth utilization alerts to address performance issues proactively
NTA offers real-time alerts for bandwidth hogs, so you can get notified when a device starts to use too much bandwidth. With customizable notification thresholds, NTA allows you to set simple or complex conditions to trigger alerts based on simple bandwidth utilization or nested conditions based on your network topology. Custom alerting also reduces unwanted alerts to your inbox, focusing on the network issues important to you.
Customize network traffic reporting with drag-and-drop metrics
Reporting is a key step in network bandwidth utilization monitoring, allowing you to document monitoring results and view a snapshot of your network metrics in a user-friendly format. SolarWinds offers predefined reports for every SolarWinds® Platform network product, including customizable reports. IPv4 and IPv6 reporting are available, with categories ranging from NetFlow reports to historical CBQoS reports.

Do you find yourself asking…
In the simplest terms, network bandwidth utilization is the rate at which data can flow through your network. Traditionally measured in bits per second (bps), higher bandwidth allows more traffic flow from one device to another.
Measuring network bandwidth utilization is a key component of any network monitoring solution. To avoid downtime and stalled applications, you need to identify quickly which devices consume the most bandwidth. With a fast and reliable method of utilization monitoring, you can identify and troubleshoot the most problematic devices.
