The nGenius Application Fabric Monitor (AFMon) combines deep packet analysis and enterprise data monitoring into a single appliance specially designed to deliver high-performance and high-capacity monitoring.

nGenius Application Fabric Monitor consists of continuous packet recording software combined with the nGenius CDM functionality of NetScout probes. Users can now have the best of both worlds in one integrated and highly available package.

AFMon is delivered on a security-hardened, Linux-based appliance that extends nGenius Flow Recorder capabilities by providing significantly higher storage capabilities (2TB, 5TB and 8TB) in a high performance, highly available platform.

The Common Data Model (CDM) functionality of nGenius AFMon provides real-time and historical monitoring to collect key performance metrics such as traffic and application utilization, network talkers, conversations, error conditions, and response time.
