Posted in General on September 2nd, 2011 by Matt S
plixers-scrutinizer-wins-2011-golden-bridge-award-for-netflow-innovation

What a year so far!

You know the old saying “Time flies when you’re having fun”? Here at Plixer, our developers are so freakishly passionate about creating the NetFlow architecture of the future, the years seem to pass us by like a blur.

The hard work is really paying off! Not only were we the first company to receive Cisco certification within the Systems Management technology category but, we are proud to announce that last week we won the 2011 Golden Bridge Award for NetFlow innovations!These industry and peer awards from Golden Bridge are the world’s premier business recognition program. This award is a huge accomplishment for such a passionate group of employees. To top it all off, Cisco sent us Medianet T-Shirts!

Golden Bridge AwardWith Cisco predicting by 2013 91% of all network traffic will be voice/video streams, we’ve been spending a significant amount of time focusing on the development of the many new Cisco Medianet performance monitoring reports. Scrutinizer v9.0 is just around the corner, it will be exciting to get feedback on all of the new reports we have built for Cisco Smart Logging and Telemetry, Cisco TrustSec, Performance Routing, Performance Monitoring and of course all of the new SonicWALL IPFIX support.

What is MediaNet?
Medianet is an intelligent end-to-end network that combines video technologies in the business, home and service provider networks. More than just higher bandwidth, it optimizes video and rich media traffic. Our solution was the first to report on the new metrics Cisco imbedded into Flexible NetFlow templates. Network traffic analysis with the advanced filtering in our NetFlow Management solution is further proof that our software provides the very best in NetFlow reporting. Read more »

We recently received a request from a customer looking for a way to identify GoogleTalk (gtalk) traffic.  To address this request, we first needed to learn about this protocol.  It seems that GoogleTalk uses an existing protocol called “Jabber”, which is based on XMPP.  To simplify things, Jabber uses a standard port of 5222.

NetFlow Advantages in a Nutshell

Posted in NetFlow, Network Health Report, Network Problem Resolution, Network Traffic Analysis on October 22nd, 2010 by danny
netflow-advantages-in-a-nutshell

Today I want to talk, in a nutshell, about the advantages of NetFlow. One thing in particular that distinguishes NetFlow based traffic monitoring from the traditional SNMP dependent systems is the ability to characterize traffic applications and patterns. Knowing what the traffic is, who it is from, how and where it flows is critical for network performance and troubleshooting. For instance, it helps Network managers “determine where to apply QoS, optimize resource usage and it plays a vital role in network security to detect Denial-of-Service (DoS) attacks, network-propagated worms, and other undesirable network events.

Scrutinizer
In planning, as I previously stated, NetFlow information ensures that resources are used adequately in support of organizational goals. Moreover, it facilitates solutions to many common network issues including: Read more »
