Micro-Level Visibility of Network Applications and Traffic
Peakflow X extends network visibility all the way down to the application layer with the fully integrated Application Intelligence collector. Armed with deep visibility into application behavior, you can optimize the performance, reliability and security of key business applications on your network by identifying threats, detecting traffic violations and enforcing network access. You can also reduce cost and downtime by quickly resolving network issues; avoid over-provisioning your network to meet application demands; and expand application usage across geographically dispersed networks without risking bandwidth or security issues.
Application Detection
The Peakflow X Application Intelligence collector automatically identifies over 100 types of applications and enables you to clearly understand the behavior of network applications and traffic including:
- Voice over IP (VoIP) – Perform the high-level trending and drill-downs needed to securely launch and manage VoIP applications. You can track who is talking to whom and how – and guarantee that calls are not being made by unauthorized or outside users.
-
Peer-to-Peer (P2P) – Ensure the authorized use of P2P and instant messaging applications to maintain network data integrity.
-
HTTP/HTTPS – Gain direct visibility into Web traffic, URLs, tunneled/clandestine traffic and the type of transferred data to eliminate fraud and prevent the leakage of confidential or proprietary information.
Benefits of the Peakflow X Application Collector
- Application Intelligence – Gain insight into critical applications on your network to optimize performance, identify traffic violations, tighten access control and drive sound decision making.
- Application Visibility – Obtain macro- and micro-level visibility into network applications and traffic, and conduct forensics analysis on historic application traffic to accelerate time-to-resolution and minimize downtime.
- Application Security – Model, monitor and enforce network access to applications to ensure their availability and successful expansion – and be alerted to threats that can impact their performance.
- Application Usage Policies – Protect your network from P2P, instant messaging, fraud and information leakage by knowing where, what and when data is being sent – and by whom.
- Compliance Assurance – Ease the burden associated with meeting internal use policies or governmental/industry regulations such as HIPAA, PCI, EU Data Retention Directive, ITIL and ISO 17799.
