SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer Case Study

Glencoe Regional Health Services

Introduction

This case study of Glencoe Regional Health Services is based on a December 2017 survey of SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer customers by TechValidate, a 3rd-party research service.

“I have used the combination of NPM and NTA to prove out multiple issues, such as lack of bandwidth on one connection and a specific endpoint using more bandwidth than others.”

  • Identifying the cause of bandwidth spikes
