Title : NetFlow Analysis Software
Description : This tender is divided in 2 Lots. Lot 1 – Network Flow Analysis Software – GÉANT Network only The first lot is for the procurement of network flow analysis software by the GÉANT Association. GÉANT aims to procure the use of software for network analysis, provided on servers maintained by the Supplier (i.e. Software as a Service (SaaS)), that can continuously receive, analyse and store the sampled traffic flow information, i.e. an ‘IPFIX’ network flow feed, sent from GÉANT’s packet network, providing real time and retrospective network utilisation information to GÉANT and NREN teams. Such a system is required to carry out in-depth analysis of backbone network traffic flows, allowing improved capacity planning and helping to advise member NRENs regarding their own use of the GÉANT network, such as the top talkers to/from their own networks. Lot 2 – Framework agreements Network Flow Analysis Software – NRENs in the GÉANT Community In the second lot, GÉANT Association will award framework agreements, facilitating the procurement of network flow analysis software by its members.
