A bout of research a few years back turned up IBM Aurora
(http://www.zurich.ibm.com/aurora/), now sold as Tivoli/Netcool
(http://www-01.ibm.com/software/tivoli/products/netcool-performance-flow/)
as a potential solution for high performance analysis, but IIRC, a
fairly hefty price tag applied based on traffic volume.  Looking at the
second URL, it is not clear, but looks like $10K + $200 per "resource
unit", whatever that maps out to be.  Definitely not on the same level
as the typical solutions.
