Lo strumento essenziale per il controllo del traffico di rete aziendale

Solutions

nmon provides complete traffic monitoring solutions that can be used stand-alone or as engines for third-party products. The main solution areas include:

High-Speed Traffic Capture and Monitoring
- PF_RING: high-speed packet capture, filtering and analysis.
NetFlow probe software
- nProbe: NetFlow v5/v9 traffic probe (IPv4/IPv6/MPLS).
NetFlow probe hardware
- nBox: embedded netFlow v5/v9 probe for fast/gigabit networks (IPv4/IPv6/MPLS).
Network Traffic Analysis
- nTop: traffic analysis for Unix and Windows with NetFlow™ and sFlow™ support (open source).
- nMirror: hardware traffic mirror for inline traffic analysis.

An Embedded NetFlow v5/v9/IPFIX Probe (IPv4, IPv6, MPLS)

Many software netflow solutions (such as nProbe) users, realized that running a probe on a PC (or any other common hardware) is not always the best choice for several reasons:

PCs have moving parts that can break making the probe unavailable.
PCs are large, need monitors and keyboards, whereas probes often need to be deployed on places where there is not much space available.
Administering PCs is not cheap and they require the purchase of an OS, its installation and maintenance.
In large networks divided in several trunks it is necessary to have several probes each analyzing a trunk. This requires that multiple hosts running nProbe are deployed across the network.
The cost (for both hardware and maintenance) is not neglectable in particular if several probes need to be deployed.

If you're a user that does not want to bother with installing software probes on a PC or that wants to have an hardware-based, scalable and purpose-built solution then you are probably a nBox user where you have a low-cost small factor computer with no moving parts and nProbe on board easy to administer using the embedded web interface.
