nGenius® Flow Collector pdfDownload DataSheet 

nGenius Collectors, dedicated high-density NetFlow and IP SLA collection devices, gather NetFlow datagrams and IP SLA test data from Cisco routers and/or switches for display in nGenius Performance Manager and nGenius Performance Manager for NetFlow.

The nGenius Collector, with CDM™ Technology as its foundation, extends the power of the nGenius Performance Management System to NetFlow and Cisco IP SLA-based monitoring environments.

The nGenius Performance Management System analyzes and presents the Collector information in context, along with data from other sources such as MIBII and probes, to provide comprehensive knowledge for optimizing the performance of the mission critical, enterprise network.
