A fully integrated component of Arbor Peakflow SP, the Peakflow SP Business Intelligence (BI) device customizes and deepens your visibility into network performance. It provides clear insight into critical network-based entities such as transit partners, customers, routers and applications (e.g., VoIP, IM, DNS, P2P and gaming) from a single command and control console. The Peakflow SP BI device also increases the scalability of Peakflow SP and provides built-in redundancy for critical IP business services.

Application Intelligence for Service Optimization
With the Arbor Peakflow SP BI device, you gain real-time and historic insight into all the applications traversing your network. More importantly, you know what normal network behavior is for these applications – and can instantly identify abnormalities caused by DDoS attacks, routing changes and bandwidth-intensive applications.

Customized Visibility
The Arbor Peakflow SP BI device enables you to customize your view and gain deeper insight into critical portions of your network. As a result, you can detect anomalies in specific network entitles (e.g., customers, peer-transit partners, ASNs, routers, applications and types of traffic) that are vital to your business success.

Scalability
One of the greatest strengths of Arbor Peakflow SP is its ability to focus on critical network entities using a feature called managed objects. As your network grows, more managed objects are needed to view more network entitles. Arbor Peakflow SP BI devices increase the managed object scalability of Peakflow SP ten-fold, enabling Peakflow SP to support up to 10,000 managed objects. This unparalleled visibility means more intelligent traffic analysis, improved security and keener insight into new IP service opportunities.

Availability
The Arbor Peakflow SP BI device safeguards critical IP business services and optimizes network availability by providing redundancy for network visibility, security and management.
