PROGRESS FLOWMON PROBE

Description

Flowmon Probe 40000 Pro SFP+ Packet Capture/Analysis DeviceFlowmon Probe is a high-performance appliance that monitors network traffic and generate IP flow statistics. The flow statistics are then exported to storage for further analysis by a Flowmon Collector or other NetFlow/IPFIX compatible application. The Probe provides NetFlow/IPFIX data necessary for network operations, troubleshooting, performance, and security monitoring.

Flowmon Probe is available in the form of a hardware appliance of 1U rack unit size and as a virtual appliance for deployment into VMware, Hyper-V, and KVM virtual environments.

Hardware Appliance
Flowmon Probe in the form of a hardware appliance is a high-performance stand-alone device for monitoring all types of networks from 10 Mbps to 100 Gbps. Flowmon Probe comes in a standard or Pro model with a different number and type of monitoring ports. A hardware-based Flowmon Probe provides a built-in flow collector and Flowmon Monitoring Center (FMC) – application for flow collection, visualization, reporting, and analysis. The built-in collector is restricted to receive flow data only from the Probe itself. It is necessary to use a stand-alone Flowmon Collector for collecting data from other/multiple sources.
Flowmon Probe is equipped with two copper 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet management ports (except for IFP-1000-CU with only one management port) which can be used for appliance configuration, management, and flow data export. On the IFP-200000PRO-QSFP28 model, management ports can be upgraded to 10 Gbps Ethernet by purchasing an upgrade package. The upgrade package can be purchased only for new appliances (at the moment of purchase).
