Analyst Jim Metzler Explains How A Unified Perspective of Infrastructure
Performance Improves IT Decisions and Wins Corporate Mindshare
WESTFORD, Mass., Sept. 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- NetScout Systems, Inc.
(Nasdaq: NTCT), a leading provider of enterprise-wide network performance
management solutions, today announced that it will host a series of seminars
to bring cutting-edge views and advancements in management technology to IT
organizations seeking to establish and demonstrate the value of infrastructure
investments to business managers.
Entitled "Optimizing Your Network Game Plan," the seminars will be held in
five major U.S. cities during the first half of November in San Francisco,
Dallas, Chicago, Washington, D.C. and New York City.
Keynote speaker Jim Metzler, vice president of Ashton, Metzler and
Associates will present results of the firm's latest research surrounding the
significant challenges that IT organizations face in getting business managers
to understand the relationships between infrastructure resources and the
business services they support. In order to do this successfully, IT
organizations must be able to show the linkages between infrastructure
performance and the performance of key applications used by business units and
end users.
The seminars will include presentations and interactive technology
demonstrations utilizing a next-generation management information model that
opens the door for cross-vendor integration of management data. NetScout will
present its industry-leading CDM(TM) Architecture, an approach that provides a
unified repository for detailed cross-vendor performance management
information. OPNET Technologies, co-sponsor of the event, will present its
approach for leveraging unified performance data by adding it to configuration
and topology data for advanced analysis and modeling.
Network, LAN and WAN managers, network/IT directors, as well as executives
of information technology, design, planning and architecture are invited to
register for the event at http://www.netscout.com.
"Regardless of budget, every IT organization needs to prove how
investments in infrastructure technologies are impacting the performance and
costs of services for end users," says Jim Frey, vice president of marketing
for NetScout Systems. "Today's IT managers are pressured to predict, manage
and report how IT resources tie to business priorities. This seminar will
show IT managers how to gain a more accurate perspective of how their
infrastructures are being used, where improvements can be made and how
investments line up with business goals."
