NetFlow Analyzer and ASAM (Advanced Security Analytics Module) System Requirement

Hi Folks,

Recently, one of our customers reported a performance related issue while using the Advanced Security Analytics Module of NetFlow Analyzer. It caused a great deal of concern for us as we were shocked to find CPU usage shooting upto 100% all the time, which is unusual.

On drilling down the issue we found that the server in which product was installed had a single core processor and very little memory.

NetFlow Analyzer and Advanced Security Analytics Module are resource intensive applications. Both NetFlow Analyzer and ASAM process NetFlow data exported from the router has to report on bandwidth and security applications.

For this the installed machine should have very good hardware configuration in terms of memory, CPU etc. which most corporate establishments have. Please find below the system requirements for NetFlow Analyzer with ASAM module:

64 Bit Quad Core Processor
8 GB RAM
250 GB HDD Minimum.

Thanks
