Introduction › CA Network Flow Analysis

CA Network Flow Analysis

CA Network Flow Analysis provides network traffic analysis with real-time visibility into the traffic throughout your enterprise. You can access as much as one year of flow data for your entire network.

CA Network Flow Analysis is designed to be integrated as a data source for either CA Performance Center or CA NetQoS Performance Center--whichever program your enterprise uses. The Performance Center Console displays report data from CA Network Flow Analysis and any other programs that are integrated as data sources.

This guide describes administration tasks that you perform in the NFA console. Other administration tasks are performed in the Performance Center Console--the management of users, roles, permissions, SNMP profiles, and some types of groups.

Install Performance Center and register CA Network Flow Analysis as a data source so you can use all the features. You can access Performance Center from the NFA console as soon as you register the product.

Note: This guide uses the term Performance Center to refer to CA Performance Center and CA NetQoS Performance Center collectively. Program-specific page names or functions may be identified by the full program name or acronym, which is CA PC for CA Performance Center and NPC for CA NetQoS Performance Center.
