With NetFlow analysis, engineers can easily determine if an individual application, user or device is clogging the network or if the cause is a systemic bandwidth issue that could dramatically impact business performance.

Italian police to use BMC
The Carabinieri, Italy's renowned federal police organisation, has standardised on BMC's Business Service Management (BSM) platform, reports Market Watch.
The Carabinieri will use BSM to unify its vast and complex information systems by 2009, thus freeing up critical internal resources.
BMC was selected by the Carabinieri as part of a public bidding process based on its ability to meet the in-depth technical demands of the Italian federal police, as well as BMC's excellent reputation and proven track record in deploying BSM.
