NetQoS ReporterAnalyzer
NetQoS

ReporterAnalyzer
CA NetQoS ReporterAnalyzer is designed to provide comprehensive,
enterprise-wide visibility into the composition of network traffic,
enabling organizations to make more-informed infrastructure
investments, solve performance problems faster, and optimize the
network infrastructure for application performance.
Business value
Managing the network infrastructure for application performance is paramount to IT
organizations success. CA NetQoS ReporterAnalyzer is designed to provide you with visibility
into the applications and hosts that are utilizing resources, enabling cost-effective and timely
decisions for optimizing and improving network service delivery. Real-time reports and alarms
on each interface of the network, coupled with drill-down capabilities from high-level enterprise
summaries into detailed ow forensics, help groups to identify problems and troubleshoot more
efciently, reducing Mean Time To Repair (MTTR).
Product overview
CA NetQoS ReporterAnalyzer provides insight into how application trafc impacts network
performance. By harvesting a rich set of trafc statistics, it is designed to easily scale to
support the volume of data on the worlds largest networks, providing real-time visibility and
behavior analysis of network trafc, customizable reporting, actionable alerts, and automatic
investigations. CA NetQoS ReporterAnalyzer is designed to track 100% of all ow trafc
to provide you with an enterprise-wide view of your trafc, allowing you to make network
performance decisions with all the datanot just a subset. Customizable calculations for
capacity planning, including what if trending based on application, location, and bandwidth,
help ensure accurate decisions are made regarding cost reduction and capacity planning.

CA NetQoS ReporterAnalyzer
Delivery approach
CA NetQoS ReporterAnalyzer is designed to utilize the data collection capabilities of your
existing infrastructure by leveraging trafc statistics collected from Cisco IOS NetFlow and
the industry-standard IP Flow Information Export (IPFIX)-enabled routers and switches. This
provides a very economical method to collect meaningful data about network behavior.
CA unites professional, support, and education service elements under a single umbrella,
providing your entire IT organization a seamless and uid customer experience. CA Professional
Services gives you insight and control over technology and deployment efforts, which helps
reduce risk and accelerates time-to-value. CA Education Services transfers information and
insight to increase the value of your CA technology. CA Support Services helps ensure your
continuous success with trusted expert help and robust self-service tools.

Analysis and real-time alarms
Threshold alarms with suppression for applications exceeding bandwidth requirements
View threshold violations in high-level charts and tables
Custom reports
Combine multiple reporting criteria into groups
Customize time periods, reporting formats, and sampling resolutions
Display the data from any NetFlow eld in a single report
Analyze trafc on every link
CA NetQoS ReporterAnalyzer shows network trafc composition so you can easily identify
what comprises the trafc on each link. It is easy to identify if mission-critical applications
are compromised by unnecessary application trafc.
Benets
CA NetQoS ReporterAnalyzer is designed to provide complete, enterprise-wide visibility into the
composition of trafc so you can easily:
Make more-informed infrastructure investments
View the impact of application rollouts and measure application trafc growth with protocol-
level trend analyses, application baseline trend comparisons, and percent-growth tables
Spot potential bottlenecks with color-coded indicators when interfaces breach dened
thresholds and durations
