Available Add-on Solution Modules
NIKSUN NetReporter
NetReporter enables users to create on demand or scheduled network, application, security and performance reports. The graphical and tabular reports are published on web pages or are available for distribution in email using PDF, CSV or HTML formats. Performance reports include link utilization, application performance, top host, host pair, Frame Relay QoS, etc. Security reports include event severity distribution, most frequent breaches, top offenders, etc. Network Journal reports combine various reports and correlate information in one easy step.

NIKSUN NetMulticast
NetMulticast monitors and troubleshoots multicast traffic on the network's Access, Distribution and Core layers. NetMulticast provides multicast application, traffic and protocol drill-down information for all sources and groups. NetMulticast alerts on utilization levels (including short spikes), retransmits, QoS level, etc. NetMulticast reports enable long-term trending and capacity planning. Optional reachability analysis tools are available for testing end-to-end reachability, path delay analysis, active source/groups, etc. Read more about Multicast solutions from NIKSUN.

NIKSUN NetVoice 2005
NetVoice measures, records and reports on every VoIP flow in the network (in real-time) at production network traffic rates. It enables no-loss VoIP multi-time scale (packet to seconds to minutes to hours ...) and multi-level (link- to application-level) monitoring and troubleshooting on LAN, MAN and WAN interfaces. NetVoice provides VoIP protocol decodes, QoS statistics (jitter, delay, packet loss), MOS score, audio/video reconstruction & playback and quality metrics based on the ITU standard 'E Modal' (MOS).

NIKSUN NetRTX
NetVCR Real-Time Xperts (NetRTX) bring powerful real-time expert and alerting capabilities that enable network operations and trouble-ticketing personnel to quickly resolve problems in the network or application. From the NIKSUN Event Viewer, users can view and analyze NetRTX alerts and drill down to pinpoint the root cause and identify the services and users impacted. The alerts (SNMP traps or Syslog) can be exported to external management systems and easily integrated into existing management systems. Read more on Proactive Surveillance.

NIKSUN NetSLM
NetSLM generates service-level or quality of service (QoS) alerts on application or network response times, retransmissions, utilization, bit-rate service levels, etc. NetSLM alerts (upper or lower threshold breaches) can be analyzed with NIKSUN's analysis tools. NetSLM alerts are completely customizable with user-defined filters, monitoring severities, time intervals, etc. Also, NIKSUN alerts are compatible with and can be exported to various external management systems.

NIKSUN NetUsage
NetUsage enables users to generate and collect IP flow based detail records for IP Billing, Accounting, etc. NetUsage polls the data from NIKSUN appliances. The measurements, data collection parameters, export file format/time intervals are all user-configurable. Internet Protocol Detailed Records (IPDRs), aggregated and generated by NIKSUN appliances, can be viewed with NetUsage. In addition to being certified as interoperable with various third-party tools, NetUsage files can be polled by all major mediation and aggregation systems.

NIKSUN NetPoller
NIKSUN NetPoller complements NetVCR's extremely powerful and cost-effective network monitoring capability by providing detailed switch link-level traffic information and distributed polling capability. After polling switch MIB II++ data, NetPoller provides a detailed view (traffic utilization, discards, error data, etc. perswitch port) and a high-level view of the network (e.g., unicast, broadcast, multicast). NetPoller's switch polling intervals and polling targets, etc., are customizable and scale down to seconds.

NIKSUN RMON Module
Network management systems can remotely access RMON traffic statistics and data that has been captured by NetVCR. Alerts and SNMP traps can be exported to external management systems. NetVCR RMON data is more accurate than most RMON based probes, because it is derived from 'true' network traffic, as opposed to periodic sampling (polling). NetVCR supports critical RMON I /II groups.The NIKSUN RMON module is certified to be compliant with various solutions for LAN and WAN such as 10/100/1000 Ethernet, FrameRelay, ATM, PoS, etc.
