eCommerce Infrastructure Technology Conference on February 6 in
Monterey, California --
WESTFORD, Mass., Feb. 5 /PRNewswire/ -- NetScout Systems, Inc.
(Nasdaq: NTCT) today announced the company is joining forces with Exenet
Technologies, a leading application infrastructure provider, to speak at the
eCommerce Infrastructure Technology Conference and Tradeshow on Tuesday,
February 6 at 1:30 p.m. NetScout's Senior Vice President of Product
Operations, Michael Szabados and Exenet's Vice President of Consulting
Services, Khaled Khondker will present on "Service Level Measurement in the e-
Business Economy." The presentation will be given at the Monterey Conference
Center, California.
The NetScout-Exenet presentation will discuss working implementations of
next generation Service Level Management (SLM) technologies in today's leading
e-business environments. It will discuss both passive and active approaches
to measuring response time and availability of e-business applications. The
session will explore effective methods of reporting service level agreement
compliance, especially in the context of application and content delivery
outsourcing. The discussion will also provide practical insight invaluable
for anyone planning or evaluating state-of-the-art, application-based SLM and
reporting solutions.
SLM is an essential component of any IT department because it provides a
targeted set of metrics and reporting mechanisms needed to accurately monitor
how the network is performing. These performance metrics often include
network availability, response time, capacity and other key measures of
service performance required by the business. By setting targeted service
level goals in each of these areas, referred to as Service Level Agreements
(SLAs), organizations can ensure they are receiving the appropriate level of
service, whether contracted to an external service provider or provided by an
internal network operations group.
"In today's complex network environment where traffic levels change
quickly and capriciously, it is critical to have a constant and accurate
measurement of actual service levels," said Michael Szabados, senior vice
president of product operations, NetScout Systems, Inc. "NetScout's nGenius
solution is designed to address this challenge, providing the ability to
rigorously define, measure, baseline and report on service levels from the
core network to end-user applications."
Sponsored by Strategic Research Corporation, the eCommerce Infrastructure
Technology Conference and Tradeshow is designed to fill a strategic gap for IT
administrators and systems engineers by providing training and education in
advanced server, networking and storage technologies. Further information on
