Network Flight Recorder builds traffic analysis and monitoring tools that help you see how your network is being used.  Nobody's network is shrinking or getting less complicated - and networking is becoming the lifeblood of many modern businesses.  In other words, your job is getting harder and more important.  Network Flight Recorder's monitoring package gives you a flexible, user-programmable system that lets you: Recover or monitor online transaction records, keep historical statistics about how your network grows, generate detailed breakdowns of how your network services are being used and by whom, watch for patterns of abuse of network resources and identify the culprit in real-time, set burglar alarms that alert you to security violations or unexpected changes in your network, log and monitor who went where on your network, and
replay attackers' sessions and learn what they did.

Knowledge is power, and knowing what's going on within your network is the key to keeping it operating smoothly. Like our namesake, the aircraft flight recorder, our system records the information you want about what happened when, where, and how. If you need to go back and look at a reliable record of events, your Network Flight Recorder is the first place to check. 

We are dedicated to providing the best possible tools for understanding your network traffic, so you can maintain it and secure it.

Aventail Corporation has developed a comprehensive Virtual Private Network solution that enables organizations to share information with customers, suppliers, strategic partners, and mobile/remote employees to conduct secure e-business over the Internet.  While maintaining a high level of security, corporations can develop stronger business relationships and forge closer
ties with individuals who need access to confidential information or resources on their network. Aventail VPN is ideal for corporations looking for a VPN solution that is more than an encrypted tunnel because it addresses the security, management, and deployment issues that are critical in determining the viability and success of an e-business VPN.

As opposed to a device-to-device connection, which is a common offering from most network VPN vendors, Aventail securely connects people to resources through user-based authentication, sophisticated access controls, and intelligent filtering. Deployment is simple because Aventail VPN makes no modification to the desktop and works with any router, ISP, and firewall.
