Key Features:
Colasoft nChronos utilizes an intuitive interface, while performing as a robust Network Performance Analysis Solution, to record all network traffic, 24/7, 365 days a year alerting you of suspicious activity.
It’s like having a DVR for Network Data. Simply dial back the time and watch historical traffic of your network from last week as if in "real-time".
When trying to isolate and replicate intermittent network anomalies, don’t waste time and money trying to be in the right place at the right time. Colasoft nChronos makes it possible to troubleshoot intermittent and historical network issues by rewinding and zooming in on any user defined time periods in the past. As a multi-function Network Analysis application, nChronos can also be used to evaluate and benchmark long-term network performance. You can even configure nChronos to monitor network packet data and notify the network administrator of network anomalies that exceed or fall outside of preset parameters.
nChronos provides both system and user-defined reports. The System Reports include global report, traffic reports, protocol distribution report, application performance and transaction report, alarm reports and top talkers reports. All reports can be configured to provide actual statistics of the traffic and analysis data in specified time period, as well as the comparison to historical statistics, to thereby provide better references for network administrators.
Reports can be sent to specified email recipients. Users can schedule hourly, daily, weekly and monthly reports.
One of the most critical requirements of management software is the ability to monitor and record detailed application activity. nChronos 4.0 provides the ability to define custom application monitoring functions as well as transaction monitoring based on the application data. Then the custom application and transactions capability of nChronos enables the network administrator to view the detailed traffic status and statistics of the application or the transactions.
nChronos v3.1 comes with new real-time network statistics, including total bytes, total packets, bandwidth utilization, top IP talkers and top application talkers. With the Real-time statistics, network administrators can instantly understand the current pattern of the network. For example, when the network gets slow, network administrator can log on to nChronos right away and see which hosts are the top talkers, and what applications are consuming the most bandwidth.
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 varies from 1TB to unlimited storage to meet the customizable network requirements and assure the long-term traffic storage for critical links.
nChronos can fast 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 analyze the network activities. By back-in-time network analysis, nChronos can efficiently solve the network interruption issues.
Based on the long-term network traffic capture and analysis data, nChronos visualizes the statistics in trend charts to help IT stuff establish baseline for the entire network, and get hold of the trend of the network operations in long-term running, 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..
nChronos offers visualized entire network traffic monitoring . By long-term traffic monitoring and visualizing network critical links behaviors 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. With nChronos, there will be no critical events missed on your critical links.
nChronos offers powerful ability for 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.
nChronos provides efficient data retrieving and drilling down over any time period for hours, days, or weeks with accurate time stamp. It offers complete access to application level traffic flows, network statistics and data links information across all seven OSI layers level. This powerful framework can greatly reduces the time of identifying root-cause and resolving the problem.
