• Captures and stores Flow datagrams for historical deep-dive analysis

• Collects Flow data from up to five thousand flow-enabled router or switch interfaces per appliance

• Supports both IPv4 and IPv6 environments

nGenius Collector 3400 ApplianceScalable, High Capacity Appliance for Collection of Cisco NetFlow and Other Flow Data

Product OverviewThe nGenius® Collector 3400 is a high capacity appliance that collects Flow data such as Cisco® NetFlow, IPFIX, Juniper® J-Flow, sFlow and NetStream, from Flow-enabled routers and switches for analysis by nGenius for Flows. The appliance analyzes Flow datagrams, generates key metadata and maps this information into NETSCOUT’s Adaptive Service Intelligence™ (ASI) A-CDM tables in real time. In addition, the appliance dynamically discovers Cisco routers and switches which have been configured to run Cisco IP SLA tests, then polls those devices for the results at fixed intervals. The nGenius Collector converts Flow records that include conversation information, such as source and destination IP addresses, type of service bytes (ToS or DSCP), application port numbers and Autonomous System numbers (ASN) into a common data model that is usable by nGeniusONE® or nGenius for Flows platforms. NetOps teams can capitalize on their existing investment and minimize total cost of ownership by using this appliance to incorporate access to Flow and IP SLA data into a comprehensive monitoring strategy.

nGenius Collector is a hardened Linux®-based appliance containing a four terabytes (TB) hard drive and dual power supplies. The operating system is optimized for secure, fast, and efficient data collection. The kernel receives in-depth scans for different security issues to identify and remediate vulnerabilities in support of a highly secure operating environment. The hard drive enables the continuous capture and storage of actual Flow datagrams (Native Flow Records), enabling deep dive analysis and troubleshooting capabilities.

Product Capabilities• Monitors up to 5000 switch or router interfaces per appliance across the enterprise

• Collects up to two million NetFlow, IPFIX, J-Flow, sFlow and NetStream flows per minute

• Detects and collects the results of up to 500 IP SLA tests

• Continuously captures and stores Cisco NetFlow datagrams for decode and analysis

• Supports both IPv4 and IPv6 environments

Leverage Existing Infrastructure InvestmentsnGenius Collector appliances are commonly deployed in data centers or other core locations and configured to receive data from Flow-enabled routers or switches located anywhere in the network. The appliance does not need to be physically deployed in the same location as a targeted switch or router. This flexibility enables Flow coverage for very large or distributed environments with just a few strategically placed appliances to collect data from thousands of remote router and switch interfaces.

Troubleshoot NetFlow Deployments with Continuous Datagram CaptureBuilt-in capture mechanisms in the nGenius Collector enable the appliance to continuously capture and store NetFlow datagrams. Both nGeniusONE and nGenius for Flows can decode and analyze captured datagrams. Decodes are supported for NetFlow versions 5 and 9. This decode support is most commonly used by IT operators to troubleshoot NetFlow deployments to validate that the configurations on their routers and switches are set to export the correct information and level of detail.

Measure Responsiveness of Network Services with IP SLAnGenius Collector dynamically discovers IP SLA tests configured on Cisco routers or switches and then polls those devices for the test results. IP SLA provides embedded Cisco IOS® functionality allowing the router or switch to measure application responsiveness using synthetic transactions. These tests are used to measure network performance and availability across the network, enabling IT personnel to detect problems before they affect actual user experience.

Comprehensive Flow-Based SupportThe nGenius Collector is a high-capacity appliance supporting large volume traffic requirements. It allows IT Administrators to incorporate Cisco IP SLA, Cisco NetFlow, IPFIX, Juniper J-Flow, sFlow and NetStream metrics into a global monitoring strategy. The appliance collects the data used by nGenius for Flows to compile high level metrics – such as top hosts, top talkers, application utilization and QoS usage – across the entire organization in a cost-effective manner.

Using information collected from all nGenius Collector appliances, nGenius for Flows obtains a comprehensive view to provide advanced alarming, trending and analysis, capacity planning, troubleshooting and QoS validation in unified views.
