"The network is slow." If you’re like most network managers, you probably hear this complaint on a regular basis. To really understand what is happening on your network, you need a global network view that helps you manage performance and security across the enterprise and in the cloud. SteelCentral™ NetProfiler gives you that lens to proactively monitor and easily troubleshoot the root cause of network and security issues before your end users ever know there is a problem.

What is SteelCentral NetProfiler?

Unlike other NPM solutions, SteelCentral™ NetProfiler uses  full-fidelity flow monitoring to provide unprecedented hybrid network visibility and network security analytics. Use NetProfiler to monitoring and troubleshoot questions such as how much traffic is being consumed? Who is using it? Where is it going? How is it prioritized?

The Advanced Security Module for NetProfiler provides DDoS detection, threat intelligence, security analytics, incident forensics, and threat hunting workflows to help you rapidly triage, investigate and mitigate advanced security threats.

Behavioral Analytics
In today’s digital world, network performance is inextricably linked to business performance. IT organizations need to understand how degraded performance and security incidents affect the end user, and ultimately business performance. SteelCentral NetProfiler baselines normal network behaviors and immediately alerts on performance changes that could affect end-user experience or could indicate a compromise. This allows you to address issues as soon as they arise before they can cause problems.

Dependency Mapping
SteelCentral NetProfiler automates the mapping of application transactions to their underlying infrastructure so that application definitions and interdependencies are accurate. This helps you create service maps that accelerate the identification of issues across complex application ecosystems, and plan for data center consolidation, cloud, disaster recovery, or virtualization initiatives.

Hybrid Visibility
In addition to monitoring your enterprise network, NetProfiler provides insight into virtual and cloud environments, such as AWS. It answers those cloud-specific questions, such as what resources are you using, who are using it, are you being efficient with your cloud resources, are you incurring unknown costs, and can you diagnose and resolve problems quickly? 

One-click access to packets
SteelCentral NetProfiler seamlessly integrates its network flow data with packet-derived flow metrics from SteelCentral AppResponse to get rich application and response time metrics. One click gives you access back to the rich packet data for forensic analysis.
