Walldorf, June 23, 2005. REALTECH, provider of system management software and technology consultancy specialized in SAP infrastructures, has enhanced its theGuard! NetworkManager with a new component. The newly integrated Netflow option augments the existing solution with a web-based analysis software and delivers valuable information on network traffic across entire enterprises. This includes detailed analyses on communication relationships between network subscribers (nodes), which in turn can be grouped and analyzed per users, applications or given protocols.
theGuard! NetworkManager Netflow readily answers typical questions such as:
- Who is communicating with whom, how much and about what exactly
- How are logical network segments utilized?
- Who uses WAN connection bandwidth, how is it used and for what?

- Does unusual traffic data denote a worm or virus attack?
The decisive advantage of the REALTECH solution is its seamless integration into the network and system management.The native Netflow data is linked with SNMP data, thereby greatly elevating the significance of the information returned. The analysis can be accessed directly from theGuard! NetworkManager interface. theGuard! Netflow Collectors issue real-time alerts in the event of network anomalies. Efficient handling by theGuard! NetworkManager ensures immediate event forwarding to the respective administrator.
