Description
This is the Annual Maintenance Renewal for SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer (NTA). NTA is an add-on module for Network Performance Monitor (NPM) that tells you "who, what, and where" about your bandwidth usage.
Renewing maintenance ensures you can continue to analyze flow data (NetFlow, sFlow, J-Flow, IPFIX) to identify bandwidth hogs, unauthorized applications, and traffic patterns affecting network performance.
Network Admin Feedback
"NPM tells me the pipe is full; NTA tells me it's Bob streaming Netflix in 4K. Essential for bandwidth management."
— Network Manager (G2 Review)

FAQs: NTA Renewal
Q: Can I run NTA without NPM?
A: No. NTA is a module that requires SolarWinds Network Performance Monitor (NPM) to function.
Q: Does NTA licensing have to match NPM?
A: Yes. If you have an NPM SL2000 license, you must have an NTA SL2000 license. They must match in size.
Q: What happens if I don't renew?
A: You cannot upgrade your NPM. SolarWinds requires all modules to be on compatible versions. An expired NTA will block you from upgrading your main Orion platform.
