„Network infrastructure serves as a nervous systems for nowadays companies and the whole company virtually depends on its reliability and security. Maintenance of this environment is more and more complex task due to higher complexity, diversity and connectedness of systems and volume of transferred data. We believe that detailed understanding of what is happening in the networks is the way how to simplify these tasks to administrators,“ states Rostislav Vocilka, CEO at Flowmon Networks.

Flowmon 8.0 comes with a significant change of flow data storage architecture that enables processing of flow data also in extremely large environments with thousands of devices that send data flows to analysis. “With ability to process and analyze up to 250 thousand network flows per second, enlarged visibility into application layer, user defined reports and other improvements, Flowmon 8.0 confirms its position of a top solution that fits also to the most demanding clients from enterprise and ISP fields,” adds Vocilka.
