NETSCOUT Systems CTO Featured as Panelist in Performance Conference at N+I Las Vegas

27 Apr 2005
NetScout Joins Industry Leaders to Discuss Flow-Based Performance Management and Analytics to Overcome Challenges Posed by IT Organization Boundaries and Reactive Problem Resolution

WESTFORD, Mass., April 27, 2005 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- NetScout(R) Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq: NTCT), a leading provider of enterprise-wide network and application performance management products and solutions, today announced that its Chief Technology Officer Bruce Kelley will be a featured speaker at the NetWorld+Interop Las Vegas 2005 conference. Kelley will present on the NetWorld+Interop Performance Conference panel titled "Should Performance Management Follow your Organization Structure or Business Flow?" on Wednesday, May 4, 2005 at 11:30 a.m.

The conference session will discuss the organization of performance management processes to reflect business flows rather than organizational boundaries. The session will also cover tools that manage the application delivery system as an integrated whole.

"Enterprises are challenged by the limitations of the traditional 'stovepipe' approach to performance management, which may work well for small businesses, but breaks down when network and application environments become more complex. This leaves enterprise IT managers in a constant reactive mode to service problems," said Mr. Kelley. "By combining flow-based management information with more integrated performance analytics, IT managers can achieve faster and more intelligent problem identification, diagnosis and resolution, before business services are impacted."

NetScout will be exhibiting in booth #449 in the Performance Pavilion of the NetWorld+Interop Exhibition from May 3-5 at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center.
