| NetXplorer
- Centralised, Proactive Management of All Network Traffic
Using NetXplorer for Complete Visibility and
Control
 Networks
are not just about speeds, feeds and bandwidth capacity.
Networks are about providing crucial visibility of network
usage, business and user behavior. Working together,
Allot's NetXplorer and NetEnforcer devices combine global
visibility, active control and deep packet inspection
(DPI) technology to achieve a level of network intelligence
that ensures optimal network performance, security and
management and caters to application, user and subscriber
needs.
Linking
Between Business Goals and
Network Traffic
NetXplorer provides the necessary in-depth
insight and analysis to understand networks and directly
link between business goals and network traffic and
behavior. Facilitating the decision-making process and
streamlining network efficiency, NetXplorer is a highly
scalable system that uses a single, easy-to-use GUI
to deliver unsurpassed network analysis suitable for
short-term network troubleshooting or for understanding
long-term trend and usage patterns. Control capabilities
include simultaneous provisioning of policies and configuration,
updating and distribution of data to all managed Allot
NetEnforcer® devices.
For
Service Providers, NetXplorer delivers the
visibility and tools that deliver traffic and subscriber
information and control in broadband networks. This
is particularly important in controlling operation costs,
reducing subscriber churn, increasing revenues (ARPU)
and providing new, differentiated services.
For Enterprises, NetXplorer provides
network visibility that extends beyond the infrastructure
and enables the linking of business policies to specific
network actions, which is particularly important for
managers to ensure mission-critical applications and
contain network costs.
Powerful Network Analysis and Centralised Management

Optimal Visibility and Control
Extensive Range of Features...
- Network-wide
visibility using DPI technology for in-depth analysis,
including identification of traffic trends and drilling
down to the individual device, user or application
level for real-time troubleshooting
- Intuitive
interface which provides both a logical network-wide
perspective together with the power to quickly navigate
down to the device, user or application level
- Monitoring
and analysis, including in-depth analysis
down to single user sessions and single applications,
real-time monitoring, short-term monitoring for the
collection of highly granular information, and storage
of network activities in a high resolution data warehouse

services or service changes and automatic distribution
of configurations and changes to all managed NetEnforcer
units
- Configuration
and policy provisioning of managed NetEnforcers
without logging into each device
-
Frontline security enabling easy
detection of potential DoS/DDoS attacks or network-born
security attacks, setting of thresholds, generation
of alarms, and automatic execution of corrective actions
-
Intelligent alarms about abnormal
events and automatically invoke corrective actions
before problems become costly
Optimal System Architecture
NetXplorer is based on a highly-scalable architecture
which powers the monitoring of all NetEnforcer devices
from a single, intuitive user interface. A single installation
package for Windows XP and Windows 2003 servers, system
architecture consists of three layers:
The
Client Layer is the NetXplorer GUI application,
comprising different clients that connect to the NetXplorer
Server.
The
Server Layer incorporates the actual NetXplorer
application, including the database. Managing and communicating
with the different clients that access the system, it
facilitates NetEnforcer configuration, policy provisioning,
alarms, monitoring and reporting. The NetXplorer also
includes an integrated data collector, which streamlines
the required collection of data from the managed NetEnforcer
devices.
The
Agent Layer is an optional component which
enables the NetEnforcer to be managed by the NetXplorer
and support all management functions.
