Yesterday I received an email from the Area Manager Mohammed Fazal, of the leading Swiss cabling specialist, Reichle & De-Massari. According to his email R & M unveiled a major breakthrough in copper cabling, a new RJ45 connection module which meets the Cat. 6A standard as specified by ISO/IEC had been launched.

 

Jean Pierre Labry, managing director of R&M Middle East & Africa, said: “Cat 6A is the key to new maximum performance and greater operating reliability in data networks.”

 

He also added that the new devices allow companies to boost their network’s bandwidth and transmission quality without having to abandon the reasonably-priced and reliable RJ45 connector standard.

 

 

 

 

In a recently held Ineltec conference in Basel R & M unveiled the high speed RJ45 connection module.

 

The R & M development lab has discovered a new way of shielding individual twisted pairs from electromagnetic interference and the company claims the new devices will be suitable for transmission of data at speeds greater than 10Gbps.

Also check the press release from R & M.

The new research sponsored by Brockade and Eaton suggests still data centers are being driven by performance issues.

In one of my past posts, I mentioned about the Scrutinizer netflow analyzer, still I am testing some more netflow analyzers . Manage Engine recently released the latest version of its Manage Engine Netflow Analyzer 7.5.

 

So I though let me try the demo version of Manage Engine Netflow Analyzer 7.5, the new version features a customizable administrator dashboards allows an IT administrator to monitor the critical parts of the network infrastructure.

 

The new  Manage Engine Netflow Analyzer 7.5 ‘s Site-to-Site traffic monitoring capability helps businesses track network traffic patterns between separate physical locations, ensuring business-critical applications have the right amount of bandwidth allocated for maximum performance. This level of understanding is vital for the day-to-day performance of existing applications, as well as for planning infrastructure growth. It is also key to IT departments that chargeback business units for the volume of network traffic generated, and for service providers who bill customers based on volume and speed.

 

Some of the features of Manage Engine  Netflow Analyzer 7.5 are as follows

Network Bandwidth Monitoring

Bandwidth Reporting

Netflow Monitoring

Network Traffic Analysis

Site to site traffic monitoring

Application Performance Optimization

Network Security

Netflow Reporting

Automating Reports

Customizable Dashboard

 

 

The Manage Engine Netflow Analyzer 7.5 is worth trying the demo version for 30 days.  The good thing about the Manage Engine Netflow Analyzer 7.5 is the enhanced reporting tool, customizable dash board and ease to manage and install.

It’s my habit to always  try something new or some interesting. As we have a huge project coming up, hence  I am in the process of testing many windows supported netflow analyzers.  Since I am aware of Manage Engine Netflow analyzer I thought for a change let me start over with Scrutinizer netflow analyzer.

I just went to the Scrutinizer web site and downloaded the latest Scrutinizer netflow analyzer; there support seems to be good, the moment I downloaded the  Scrutinizer netflow analyzer I received an email offering a trial key with few faqs of the Scrutinizer netflow analyzer.
