Overview

The nGenius Collector
The nGenius® collector leverages NetFlow traffic information from Cisco, Juniper, and other leading network infrastructure vendors to provide cost-effective, behaviour-based network protection for distributed enterprise environments

The nGenius Collector is a high-capacity, high-performance data source that is optimized to collect NetFlow, S-Flow and IP SLA statistics for analysis by the nGenius Service Assurance Solution. NetFlow- and IP SLA-enabled routers and switches provide a cost-effective option to direct NetFlow datagrams and IP SLA test results to the nGenius Collector. Collecting and delivering NetFlow and IP SLA data allows the nGenius Service Assurance Solution to analyse and display this information in common formats and reports along with data from other nGenius intelligent data sources.

Leveraging the unique CDM architecture, NetScout nGenius® Collectors work with nGenius analysis solutions to enable the collection, analysis and display of NetFlow, IP SLA, MIB II information, and data received from NetScout data collection devices. The nGenius Performance Management System presents the NetFlow and IP SLA data, including conversation information in context with information from other sources across the network, automatically minimising the time to analyse the data received from NetFlow and IP SLA-enabled devices..
