What are the important points related to Network Traffic Analysis?
Provides broad views of network activity
Popular NTA solutions deliver the essential information needed to impose control and take any necessary strategic decisions: these permit operators to optimize their existing infrastructure with confidence.
NTA integrates a variety of technologies
NTA solutions collect real time data, and enrich it to provide insights. Query systems operate to the required granularity, and data is unified for interoperability. NTA uses machine learning to learn network behavior and find anomalies.
NTA gives access to every network aspect
NTA reveals user behavior, detects bottlenecks, and makes troubleshooting easy. It allows forensic analysis, builds business vision and infrastructure optimization. Users can take actions based on facts.
NTA promotes reliable network management
NTA provides a powerful, flexible, simple, and visual tool to generate and reveal relevant information as it is needed. With the correct network information, network operations teams can manage their network reliably.
Understanding Network Traffic Analysis
A well-performing network is critically important to digital business; however, its visibility and users’ understanding of it often don’t meet operational requirements.
IT is no longer contained within a controlled internal environment. Infrastructure is moving steadily out of the office, being consumed instead as a service. Yet the equipment that inevitably remains on site comprises many devices from different manufacturers that cannot easily be monitored.
That’s why network traffic analysis (NTA) solutions are increasingly popular: they provide a much broader view of their network’s activity without calling for assumptions.
They deliver the essential information needed to impose control and make strategic decisions that allow users to optimize their existing infrastructure with confidence.
NTA is easy to implement, and lets users
- Take action based on facts.
- Optimize infrastructure.
- Detect bottlenecks.
- Gain business vision.
- Troubleshoot easily.
- Perform forensic analysis.
NTA technology comprises six parts:
Collection: Distributed high-speed collectors digest the telemetric and flow data coming from the network devices at real-time speed.
Normalization: No matter the origin of the network event, the normalization process unifies all sources into standard system dimensions to allow interoperability
Enrichment: Using third party and internal intelligence feeds, the platform enriches every event to provide real insights derived from the raw data
Analysis: Through machine learning techniques, the platform learns the network behaviors and discovers anomalies
Visualization: A powerful query system will interrogate any aspect of the network performance, usage, KPIs or relevant security information at the granularity level required.
ACT: With the correct network information, network operations teams can reliably manage the network.
be.Analyzer Solution & Teldat Products
The background
All companies increasingly depend on third-party service solutions.

Manufacturing – Pharmaceuticals industry
Pharmaceutical industry globalization increases dependence on data infrastructure
Challenge
The pharmaceutical industry is globalizing; two significant drivers are global clinical trials to gain a broader and more diverse participant base, and expansion into less-saturated developing markets. However, this creates the challenge of connecting a global network of employees, researchers, clinicians, customers, suppliers, distributors, and manufacturing sites to foster collaboration. Globalization necessarily means a heavier reliance on Internet data transmission, creating new risks from poor web performance, and inadequate end-user experience, and often, the resulting regulatory slow-downs.
Mitigating these risks requires monitoring of new implementations, checking migrations, and obtaining full visibility into the network status. NTA allows users to achieve these goals.
