Retrospective Network Analysis

 

nChronos is a distributed and retrospective network analysis solution designed for high performance & critical enterprise networks. It combines nChronos Console and nChronos Server to deliver the capability of 7*24 continuous packet capturing, unlimited data storage, efficient data mining and in depth traffic analysis.

 

nChronos Console provide quick access to all distribututed nChronos Servers where packets are stored, it serves as the center of the enterprise network management which is capable of visualizing the overall enterprise network activities, drilling down to isolate performance issues and troubleshooting high-priority and critical network issues.

 

nChronos Server performs 7*24 real-time packet capturing and continuously stores to hard disk for quick packet and statistics retrieval. With flexible and non-intrusive deployment with standard network mirror port or link tap technologies, it provides native packets for the Console to go back in time and complete retrospective network analysis.

 

Help IT Professionals to:

 

• Retrospectively analyze the historical network traffic
• Proactive network monitoring and cost-effective network management
• Efficient drill-down for data-mining & index
• Provide forensics analysis and mitigate security risks
• Remote access for distributed LAN/WAN network management

 

7x24 real-time network traffic capturing and recording

 

 

nChronos offers real-time capturing, analyzing, and storing sustained traffic at Gigabit line rates for all data flows and packets. nChronos also provides scalable extensive storage capacity which varies from 1TB to unlimited storage to meet the customizable network requirements and assure the long-term traffic storage for critical links.

 

Retrospectively analyse historical traffic

 

 

nChronos can rapidly retrieve the traffic packets at any time period (real-time or retrospective), and simultaneously drill down for data-mining and full analysis. nChronos helps network users to quickly pinpoint, analyze, and resolve network and application problems, detect the attacks and threats, efficiently and in-depth analysis of network activity. Using retrospective network analysis, nChronos can efficiently solve the network interruption issues.

 

Benchmark and visualise trends of network performance

 

 

Based on the long-term network traffic capture and analysis data, nChronos visualizes the statistics in trend charts to help IT staff establish a baseline for the entire network, and get hold of the trend of the network operations in long-term analysis, identify and pinpoint network problems, acquire the evidence for decision-making on network policies, and reinforce the overall technical level for network management as well as the ability to solve network issues..

 

Critical links monitoring & alerting

 

 

nChronos offers visualized entire network traffic monitoring . By long-term traffic monitoring and visualizing network critical link behavior and network traffic patterns, nChronos helps users to create a network baseline, setup online triggered alerts for network events for warning and preventing network outrages. nChronos ensures there are no critical events missed on your critical links.

 

In-depth network analysis for performance optimization

 

nChronos offers powerful application-oriented analysis. The various Analysis Profiles include High-performance Analysis, Full Analysis, HTTP Analysis, high-level FTP Analysis, Email Analysis, DNS Analysis, etc., helping IT professionals to conduct in-depth network analysis with less MRRT (Mean Time to Repair) and optimize the entire network performance so as to increase enterprise network productivity.

 

Efficient drill-down for data-mining & index

 

 

nChronos provides efficient data retrieval and drilling down over any time period for hours, days, or weeks with accurate time stamping. It offers complete access to application level traffic flows, network statistics and data link information across all seven OSI layers level. This powerful framework can greatly reduces the time for identifying root-cause and resolving the problem.
