Challenge
Managing a network that includes multiple third-party tools such as sniffers, IDS's and packet analysis tools can be extremely complex, especially when the tools require command line interface (CLI) scripting to configure. In addition to the complicated, proprietary, CLI-driven interfaces, there are SPAN port and TAP shortages and underutilized network monitoring tools.
Solution
Anue Systems was the first in the market to develop the drag-and-drop Control Panel to help customers quickly configure and deploy Anue Net Tool OptimizerTM products. The intuitive interface provides real-time cues and configuration assistance. It is completely managed by drag-and-drop – no CLI ever required. The Control Panel provides the ability to:
- Drag-and-drop virtual connections
- Create advanced network connections and filters
- Aggregate, filter, replicate and distribute network traffic
- Visualize your network monitoring topology at a glance along with live traffic statistics
With a few clicks of the mouse, anyone on your network engineering team can easily connect the monitoring tools to the appropriate TAPs and SPAN ports.
