FlowTraq Now Available from InterMapper; Advanced Flows Analytics for Monitoring, Forensics and Security

    WEST LEBANON, NH, June 05, 2012 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Dartware, a leading provider of the InterMapper network monitoring, mapping and alerting software, today announces the immediate availability of FlowTraq -- a full fidelity flows analysis tool with advanced filtering, customizable dashboards and alerting capabilities. As with the long-time flows capability within InterMapper, FlowTraq is developed by our best-of-breed partner ProQSys.

FlowTraq uses network flow records to deliver integrated monitoring, forensic and security solutions. Monitoring enables scrutinizing usage, billing and bandwidth reports, network troubleshooting and traffic origins. Forensics assists with incident response, IP leakage, PCI system compromise and legal discovery inquiries. The security functionality supports policy development, policy violation detection, scans for malicious behaviors and blacklists.

It is a powerful and customizable software application that significantly increases insight into network behavior, making it easy to spot the risks before they become problems. Because there's no aggregation of the flow data, you can use the powerful filtering capabilities to see what happened after the fact.

FlowTraq features:
- Faster Results. 100 times faster than full packet capture, with 100 times longer data retention.
- Better Accuracy. No aggregation. Full forensic recall of all network flows, including IPv6.
- Microsecond precision. When switches handle hundreds of thousands packets per second, this level of granularity is sometimes the only differentiator between cause and effect.
- In-depth analysis. Detect abuse, misconfigurations, data leakage, structured attacks, and more.
- Unlimited filtering. Sort, search, filter and view your traffic to quickly determine what's important
- Peering and Transit. Review AS number distribution to see where you are sending traffic.
- Alerting and reporting. Create alerts on traffic patterns, schedule reports for analysis or ISP billing.

"Our customers are really going to appreciate the user customizable workspaces" says Rich Brown, CEO of Dartware. "Different networks have different challenges, and different users have different preferences. FlowTraq's enterprise setup with customizable dashboards allows many users to benefit maximally from the flow data, without getting in each other's way."

FlowTraq has the flexibility to improve any network operation. It is compatible with NetFlow, sFlow, cFlow, and jFlow and it runs on Windows, Linux, Mac, and Solaris.

Whether deployed for diagnostics, troubleshooting, compliance, capacity planning or security, InterMapper's suite of tools has the power, flexibility, ease-of-use and affordability the network administrator needs to maintain a healthy network.

A free, 14-day, fully functional trial version of FlowTraq is currently available.
