NetServer is a self-contained, low-cost hardware/software package that provides database access auditing and usage management for many popular DBMS types. Each NetServer is pre-configured and optimized to run DSAuditor, providing several benefits over software-only deployments, including:

• Offloaded processing from more expensive hardware platforms
• Quick and easy installation
• Simplified software management using a browser-based management console

NetServer audits and monitors database usage by listening to all network traffic to and from one or many database servers. NetServer obtains the traffic using:

• Monitoring network taps, or
• Monitoring network switches, or
• Bridging through NetServer

Many monitoring solutions slow your systems, take up valuable system resources, and reduce performance to unacceptably low levels. NetServer requires no system resources to monitor SQL activity and provides a True Zero Overhead solution for database activity and usage tracking.
