The Fluke Networks/Cisco Partnership

Fluke Networks is a member of the Cisco Technology Developer Program (CTDP) with certified solutions for Cisco IOS NetFlow and Performance Routing (PfR).

With Visual Performance Manager Fluke Networks has once again leveraged an important Cisco technology—Cisco WAAS. By integrating WAAS-specific analytics along with NetFlow data into Visual Performance Manager, Fluke Networks is able to provide the following benefits to Cisco WAAS customers and prospects:

  • A baseline of non-optimized utilization and performance—identify the sites/applications that are the top candidates for optimization
  • Clear views of WAN bandwidth consumption—quantify the reduction provided by WAAS
  • Visibility into application performance before, during and after WAAS deployment—prove the improvements experience by the end users
  • The ability to see WAAS Policy details all the way down to the user and transaction level—measure the reduced data transfer times for optimized traffic

Simply put, Visual Performance Manager helps to prove the value and ROI of the WAAS investment, providing the justification needed for an initial or an expanded deployment. Once WAAS is fully implemented, these same capabilities can be used to provide in-depth usage forensics, response analytics, and rapid root-cause analysis.

As a certified Cisco Technology Developer Partner, Fluke Networks gives you valuable insight into Cisco technologies and data sources. We help Cisco customers discover the power of the Cisco infrastructure by utilizing technologies such as NetFlow, Performance Routing (PfR), and WAAS for in-depth forensic analysis of network usage, validation of QoS classifications, verification of end-user experienced response times and more.


    Fluke Networks Solutions for Cisco Environments

    NetFlow Tracker

    NetFlow Tracker is a solution that uses NetFlow and IPFIX information for in-depth LAN/WAN troubleshooting. This real time monitoring of NetFlow and IPFIX data allows network managers to have the detailed information necessary to identify, isolate and troubleshoot network performance issues. NetFlow Tracker also analyzes data from all the available fields, all the time across the entire enterprise so that every conversation down to the lowest level chatter can be retrieved and analyzed.

    PfR Manager

    Thanks to extensive collaboration with Cisco, Fluke Networks' PfR Manager is the only GUI available that works with PfR (Performance Routing). PfR Manager takes this powerful PfR networking technology and simplifies it into an intuitive, browser-based format. Instead of reading and typing on the command line interface, PfR users instead can point and click their mouse making installation, configuration, monitoring and reporting easy. Further, the software provides executive, historical and filtered reports that are unavailable elsewhere.
