Cacti is a wonderful tool to build graphs. It is easy to use too.

hey Peter,

why not build your own bw graphing? simple iptables + rrdtools can graph 
all traffic per x/32 or group the x/32 that are part of a dept. and 
produce graphs based on groups.

If your geared towards purchasing a solution then Netflows is not what 
you want, look into a program called InMon, these guys created sflows 
and can get you amazing insight when it comes to the data on your network
