I have been working on redeploying this technology from our 8200 cores down into our VCF, this thing is powerful. To do it right you'll want an ixia spanport aggregator, both the discovery and explore appliances and 3 months of patience!

Datacenter wiredata FTW!

Oh, APM/NPM.

I'm wondering how it compares to a Fluke or SecurActive solution concerning price and functionality.
Does it auto-detect applications? Does it show what flows are part of the same applications? Does it indicate differences between latency and server response time?

All of the above.

It automatically created activity groups based on flow's. you can define any custom grouping you like, its great for building dashboards and drilling down into specific metrics to display across multiple devices.

Here is a quick snapshot of out of the box application aware metrics gathered for Web Servers (HTTP). As you can see, at the top left under the HTTP client you have the ability to drill down into a specific device or pre-defined group of devices in a cluster to analyze traffic patterns, not to mention all of the identified traffic seen over the wire for any point in time from these devices. You can identify what is going on, who was talking to who, everything that was trans-versing the monitored vlan.

Anything you can say about pricing? Or licensing in general?

[scottsee]

yeah, it's really expensive!

Says every network monitoring vendor!

I talked to both vendors at Cisco Tech Days this week. Unfortunately the place I'm at now doesn't have a network big enough to justify it.
