Network Monitoring Software - NetQoS Netcosm

Network Monitoring in 3D from NetQoS.
It's a bird! It's a plane! It's your e-mail, web, and other network traffic on Netcosm. Netcosm shows you what network traffic looks like in a new video game-like audiovisual paradigm.

The data used for Netcosm is real and was compiled from NetQoS's application performance monitoring product - SuperAgent
http://www.netqos.com/solutions/superagent/

Netcosm shows the type of traffic traversing local and wide area networks, and when and where performance issues occur, whether they are in the network, server or application.

Netcosm is a product of NetQoS Performance Labs.

The way I think of it, your whole IT department could use this as a game.

Take two servers, and see who can shoot enough packets at the opponents server and see who crashes first. It's like TCP/IP battleship.

Are you serious?

I want to play this video game when are you going to market?

Quite good if you use it appropriately. IF i had this minimized in the background and I heard explosions(when servers catch fire), I can then go to the graphs and charts that this tool is deriving data from.This way, I can ignore the 5 billion dumb alerts I get(and delete) from SNMP pollers every day!!! Besides, it's cool in a space invaders kind of way ;) I also like the idea of TCP/IP Battleship-now that's what we need on the NOC screens.

I would love to see this thing running in a Q/A test environment, when someone was trying to stress test one or more applications. It would be an excellent way to determine when you were hitting various thresholds.

Or better still - on a huge production network with rapidly varying usage patterns. Akamai?
