Software analyzes SUNY network data during RIAA crackdown
"In 2007, Coloccia attended a Cisco networker’s conference. While exploring, Coloccia stumbled upon the Plixer International booth, where the company offered a free trial license for its Scrutinizer NetFlow Analyzer product to higher education customers. “No other vendors were doing anything remotely close; it just seemed like a perfect fit,” said Coloccia. “By getting my hands dirty with the software before we made a commitment to it, it would be easier for me to justify spending budget money on it.” With the new software collecting, archiving and reporting data, Coloccia found that it was much easier to monitor and understand data flows to and from student computers located in dorm rooms."
