Visibility into your network and application behavior
Seeing what you’ve got on your network begins with a discovery wizard that automates the process of mapping transactions to their underlying infrastructure so that application definitions and interdependencies are accurate.
Real-time analytics for early warning
Once you’ve mapped your network, you next begin monitoring behavior. Real-time dashboards offer an at-a-glance view of the health of your applications and networked locations. You’ll be able to proactively mitigate IT issues with early warning notifications that automatically uncover abnormal activity patterns.
Drill down on problems right down into the packet details
The top-down workflow paradigm begins with the end user, and then lets you dig deeper to isolate and diagnose performance issues. Now even small and medium enterprises get enterprise-class flow monitoring tightly integrated with packet capture and advanced analysis to get to answers faster!

Leverage complete application-level visibility

Off the shelf, SteelCentral NetExpress identifies more than 1300 popular applications with deep packet inspection of application traffic, for easy viewing and analysis so you can quickly and accurately distinguish business-critical from recreational applications.

Use existing network devices to gain insight into traffic and bandwidth usage

Use your Riverbed SteelHead or SteelFusion Edge to send flow or packet data to SteelCentral NetExpress for deeper application visibility and easy monitoring and troubleshooting across the WAN-optimized network or hyper converged edge with no additional probes required.
