Overview
Progress Flowmon for AWS is a software solution specially designed for the analysis of cloud and on-prem traffic. It processes traffic data from vTAP, both VPC Traffic Mirroring and third-party, collects flows (NetFlow/IPFIX/VPC FlowLogs) and analyzes them to provide insight for resolving service degradations or maintaining the availability of business-critical applications. The solution does not rely on proprietary flow data sources, making it well-suited for deployment in heterogeneous environments. Performance and storage capacity varies by license.
