Features
Colasoft nChronos
Comprehensive network analysis and troubleshooting capabilities.
Statistical Reports
System Reports include global reports, traffic reports, protocol distribution reports, application performance and transaction reports, alarm reports and top talkers reports. All reports can be configured to provide actual statistics of network traffic and analysis data in a specified time period, as well as comparison to historical statistics, to provide better references for network administrators. Reports can be sent to specified email recipients, and users can schedule hourly, daily, weekly and monthly reports.
Application Performance Analysis
nChronos can define custom application monitoring as well as transaction monitoring based on application data. With custom applications and transactions, network administrators can view detailed traffic status and statistics of the applications or transactions, fulfilling the critical requirement of monitoring and recording detailed application activity.
Real-time Network Monitoring
nChronos offers real-time network statistics, including total bytes, total packets, bandwidth utilization, top IP talkers and top application talkers. With real-time statistics, network administrators can instantly understand the current pattern of the network and quickly identify which hosts and applications are consuming the most bandwidth when the network gets slow.
24x7 Real-time Traffic Capturing and Recording
nChronos offers real-time capturing, analyzing, and storing sustained traffic at Gigabit line rates for all data flows and packets. It provides scalable, extensive storage capacity from 1 TB to virtually unlimited storage to meet customizable network requirements and assure long-term traffic storage for critical links.
Retrospective Historical Traffic Analysis
nChronos can quickly retrieve traffic packets for any time period, real-time or retrospective, and simultaneously drill down for data-mining and full analysis. It helps users quickly pinpoint, analyze, and resolve network and application problems, detect attacks and threats, and efficiently analyze network activities to solve network interruption issues.
Benchmark and Visualize Network Performance Trends
Based on long-term network traffic capture and analysis data, nChronos visualizes statistics in trend charts to help IT staff establish baselines for the entire network, understand long-term operational trends, identify and pinpoint problems, provide evidence for network policy decisions, and enhance overall network management capabilities.
Critical Links Monitoring & Alerting
nChronos offers visualized monitoring of entire network traffic. By long-term monitoring and visualizing behaviors and traffic patterns on critical links, it helps users create network baselines and set online triggered alerts for network events, so that no critical events on critical links are missed.
Efficient Drill-down for Data-mining & Indexing
nChronos provides efficient data retrieving and drilling down over any time period for hours, days, or weeks with accurate timestamps. It offers complete access to application-level traffic flows, network statistics and link information across all seven OSI layers, greatly reducing the time to identify root causes and resolve problems.
In-depth Network Analysis for Performance Optimization
nChronos provides powerful application-oriented analysis. Various Analysis Profiles, including High-performance Analysis, Full Analysis, HTTP Analysis, high-level FTP Analysis, Email Analysis and DNS Analysis, help IT professionals conduct in-depth network analysis, reduce mean time to repair (MTTR), and optimize overall network performance.
