Endace, a provider of open network monitoring and recording systems, announced that its newly launched NetFlow Generator 2.0 is capable of breaking new grounds in terms of performance and accuracy for monitoring network traffic for planning, security and analysis.

Endace NetFlow Generator is delivered as a core part of the Endace Application Suite, which comes standard with every Endace System. The company’s application suite offers several core applications that deliver the basic monitoring requirements every large network needs and these are each best-of-breed applications that are further enhanced by the close integration between them that OSm enables.

Running on a 1U Series 3000 EndaceSensor, the newly released NetFlow Generator 2.0 is capable of generating unsampled NetFlow from 30Gb/s of IPv4 and/or IPv6 traffic with 100 percent accuracy.

Officials with the company exclaimed that the shift to 10Gb/s networking and the need for greater levels of accuracy is driving the shift towards dedicated NetFlow sensors. In addition, as networks shift to 10Gb/s, the need to use dedicated systems that don’t consume network resources to generate NetFlow starts to become very apparent. NetFlow is an essential feed to a range of different monitoring and security applications. By deploying Endace NetFlow as one of the features on a multi-function EndaceProbe or EndaceSensor, organizations can get a very cost-effective and highly accurate solution to the problem of NetFlow generation.

Some of the other Endace core applications are: Endace Analytics, Endace Security Manager, Endace Packet Access, Endace Latency Monitoring; and more.

The company also announced support for "Yet Another Flowmeter" (YAF) on its entire range of Monitoring and Recording Systems. YAF has been proven to deliver 3.2Gb/s of throughput on a Series 300 EndaceSensor. With 100% accuracy, this throughput performance supposedly makes Endace Sensors one of the best performing platforms for running YAF.
