Integration with HP OpenView Network Node Manager Offers More Proactive and
Integrated Management of Network and Application Performance
WESTFORD, Mass., July 11 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- NetScout Systems, Inc.
(Nasdaq: NTCT), a leading provider of network and application performance
management solutions, today announced that it has achieved certification of
its nGenius Performance Management System's integration with HP OpenView
Network Node Manager. Accompanying the certification, NetScout has become a
Platinum Business Partner in the HP Enterprise Management Alliance Program.
The integration of the NetScout nGenius Solution with HP OpenView can be
delivered to a single desktop or as part of a comprehensive enterprise
management system and is designed to let IT managers proactively manage their
network and their applications' impact on the network in an integrated
fashion. The HP certification is intended to provide customers with
predictable and interoperable installations, and helps to reduce the number of
management tools used, while offering a comprehensive view of the network from
HP OpenView Network Node Manager. With NetScout's nGenius Solution, customers
have access to high definition performance management data, supporting rapid
fault isolation, diagnosis and resolution for minimized downtime and improved
IT services.
"The integration of these two complementary solutions is a positive step
for both NetScout and HP OpenView," said Dennis Drogseth, vice president at
Enterprise Management Associates. "NetScout brings clear value in capturing,
analyzing and visualizing application flow-related information, which can be
critical to the successful delivery and optimization of business services. As
such, this integration meaningfully supports HP's broader objectives for
enterprise infrastructure management as well as IT service management."
Through the certified integration of the products, HP OpenView Network
Node Manager discovers and displays the status of nGenius Probes along with
all other network devices to provide IT managers with a comprehensive view of
their networks. Also, when the nGenius System detects a problem, it generates
an alert on the HP OpenView console and provides the ability to launch nGenius
Performance Manager for a detailed description of the performance incident as
well as evidence of the components or applications at the root of the problem.
"The expansion of our relationship with HP is a milestone for NetScout,
validating our application and network performance management technology for
HP customers," said Bruce Sweet, vice president of business development at
NetScout. "The HP OpenView offerings coupled with the nGenius System provide
enterprises with a comprehensive, integrated application and infrastructure
management solution. Our renewed and deeper relationship with HP is the direct
result of NetScout's business objective to team with strategic partners to
provide complete performance management solutions to broader IT organizations,
for both existing and new customers."
"We are pleased that NetScout has achieved certification status of their
integration of the nGenius Performance Management System with HP OpenView
Network Node Manager," said Bob Steiner, director of Network Services
Management, Management Software Business, HP. "With this combined solution,
customers using HP management software have direct and immediate access to
detailed network and application flow-related data from the nGenius System --
a powerful approach to enhancing the performance of customers' networked
applications."
NetScout will be exhibiting and speaking at HP World 2005 in San Francisco
from August 14-18.
