IT Operations Features

Bandwidth Usage

LANGuardian enables network managers to understand exactly where traffic is being distributed in the network. A simple traffic distribution report identifies all of the traffic that traverses in and out of the network and on which port it is travelling. Reports can be generated on a user, department, IP address and application basis. Network staff can view the top users on the network over a 24-hour period, with drill down to view all sessions initiated by those users during that period.

Active Directory and E Directory Modules

The Active Directory and E Directory modules enable tracking of events and network traffic flows by user name and department. Events that can be monitored include large network downloads, all network sessions, security events, Internet access, system logon times, number of systems logged onto over a period of time, etc. When troubleshooting issues LANGuardian can identify the user and the associated workstation.

 

 

Services Inspector

The Services Inspector module proactively monitors the critical elements on your network such as specified servers, network devices and services for uptime and performance. The Inspector checks the performance of both network and service. A graph is continuously built of the Round Trip Timing (RTT) for the ping, TCP connect and challenge-response. If the ping RTTs are low and the challenge/response times are high, you can assume that the network is functioning correctly but application response time is slow.

Remote Network Status

LANGuardian Sensors can be local, remote, NetFlow or Sflow based. This allows the LANGuardian to provide visibility into local and remote networks and give feedback on their status.
 

Network Inventory

The system provides audit reports and validation of servers and operating systems on the network. The local servers report indicates any machines inside the network that are running a service/server on their machine, and what port they are running it on. A fingerprinted OS report can confirm operating system compliance on the network.
