Hi Hadywahl--

Do you currently have Orion NPM installed on your system? If not, I recommend purchasing that and our Netflow Traffic Analyzer product. NTA is a module of NPM, so NPM must be purchases to run NTA.

You can download evaluation copies of both products at:

Thanks,

Hi,i wouldnt know if you'll be able to help out with this

What are the hardware requirements to install the NPM and NTA.

Also, can this be installed on an ISA server.

For evaluation purposes, you can get by with the minimum hardware requirements listed here:

Hi Hadywahl--

We don't support the ISA server at this time. I'll let the product managers know about your post for future releases.
