Netflow Analyser 4 Questions

Hi,

I have a number of questions in regards to this great product.

Licencing - What is the initial number of interfaces that can be managed, using the demo we are monitoring over 70 interfaces. Ultimately we would need to licence around 300 interfaces - probably split across 2 machines due to the flow rates.

Database - An SQL database is utilised. What is the data reduction method used? Does the hourly data get aggregated/compacted in the daily totals etc. We would like to able to go back in time and view site trends. Can the data be retained in its granular form and for time period.
Can the data be extracted from the SQL database and saved in its granular form?

Reports - The current reports are very good but could go further.

Flow records - Netflow records contain many fields and some are not used used such as, QOS and AS fields. Will any use be made of these fields in the future

Distributed Collection - One of the main problems with Netflow is the shear volume of records that can be produced. Will any distributed collection engines and a central management console be in future releases.

Overall an excellent product.

regards
