Cloud services have become a cornerstone of modern business operations, offering unmatched flexibility, scalability, and efficiency. As organizations increasingly adopt cloud-based applications and services, the importance of effective monitoring and management continues to grow. This highlights the critical need for gaining full visibility and control over network applications and services. With the right tools and strategies in place, businesses can fully leverage the advantages of cloud services.
Gaining full visibility and control over unknown applications and services within your WAN network is vital to bolster security. Identifying and classifying these internet services and IPs allows for better traffic management, ensuring efficient network operations. This also helps IT administrators pinpoint the most frequently used cloud applications and services, optimizing resource allocation and usage.
While it may not seem necessary at first, all organizations must keep a close eye on cloud services. Some of its benefits include,
NetFlow Analyzer's Cloud Service feature helps IT admins categorize internet cloud services based on IP addresses. They are custom-defined based on IP ranges to help monitor and manage critical cloud services in your network. These individual cloud services can then be monitored to identify the top users and conversations.
NetFlow Analyzer integrates seamlessly with Applications Manager to help map and define custom services based on IP, port, and protocol. Using the Services feature, you can monitor critical services running in your network.
The Application mapping feature helps define custom applications based on port and protocol.
In addition to Cloud Services, NetFlow Analyzer offers two other UserName-IP Mapping features.
Manual Mapping uses manually imported UserName-IP Mapping data to resolve and assign user names to IP addresses.
The Active Directory (AD) mapping feature automatically fetches UserName-IP Mapping configurations from Active Directory Proxy servers to assign user and host names to their corresponding IP addresses.
NetFlow analyzer, it speaks for itself. It gives us a good insight into what's happening on the network. The security team and network team use it quite extensively. It's a great product, easy to use.
