Question about solarwind

amb1s1

Ok, we use fluke netflow and our license expired long time ago, so we can't upgrade. My manager asked me to look for solarwinds for to take an assessment of our ussage. We are doind this because we our moving our Data Center from our HQ to a Colo, so we want to know what are our ussage to determine how big of the point to point pipe is going to be from the Colo to our building. So I have installed Solarwinds NPM and Netflow traffic analizer. Now, I'm new with solardwind, is there any other application on the solarwind suit that will help me acomplish what I want and also how do you guys do it.

I use PRTG and Fluke's Uptime Select, but the Fluke software and hardware is provided by one of our SPs as a perk of keeping our contract with them.

PRTG is great software when you figure out how to setup the different sensors. Took me about 2 months to setup every node we have in the software, but we have a LOT of hardware in our DC as well as at our 200+ branches.
