of Europe's Largest Trading Floors
WESTFORD, Mass., Dec. 17 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/--
NetScout Systems (Nasdaq: NTCT) announced today that Commerzbank, one of
Europe's leading commercial and investment banks, has deployed NetScout's
nGenius(R) Performance Management System to assure the performance of a new,
gigabit-speed network supporting its state-of-the-art trading floor in
Germany. Commerzbank selected nGenius for real-time performance monitoring,
management, and troubleshooting as well as for network capacity planning. The
Commerzbank project was fulfilled through NetScout's pan-Germany reseller
partner, GE CompuNet.
Based in Frankfurt, Commerzbank has over 50 subsidiaries, 750 branches and
approximately 37,000 employees worldwide. "Commerzbank operates one of the
largest trading floors in Europe, handling thousands of high value
transactions every day. This makes it absolutely essential that our network
always operates at peak efficiency," said Zeljko Smetko, vice president of
network support, IT Production of Commerzbank. "We chose NetScout's nGenius
to assure the reliability and business-critical performance of this gigabit-
speed LAN. It helps us proactively identify network anomalies and resolve
network problems faster than before. NetScout provides in-depth views into
networked application performance, helping us better manage availability and
application response-time while offering us the chance to manage service
levels, end-to-end. Its capacity planning capabilities provide us the
opportunity to save money, because we can more accurately anticipate future
bandwidth requirements."
The nGenius System provides market-leading capabilities for real-time
network and application performance monitoring, troubleshooting, protocol
analysis and historical reporting from a single, integrated solution. Based
on NetScout's patent-pending CDM Technology(TM), nGenius enables real-time and
historical comparisons of voice, web and all other applications network-wide,
as they compete for resources on the shared network infrastructure. nGenius
also allows IT managers to make smarter investment decisions and communicate
more effectively with web-based access to enable immediate sharing of live
network information between users, service providers and remote sites and its
business-oriented reports improve service level negotiations between business
users and IT organizations.
"We are pleased that Commerzbank has chosen NetScout to assure performance
for such a leading-edge facility as its new trading floor," said John Downing,
vice president of worldwide sales for NetScout Systems. "NetScout and GE
CompuNet are delivering superior products and services that help companies
such as Commerzbank meet their most stringent requirements for network and
applications performance. We are looking forward to working with and
supporting Commerzbank, an important member of our growing German and European
customer base."
