Integrated Application Performance and Network Topology Improve
Workflow for Enterprises and Service Providers
WESTFORD, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 29, 2007--NetScout Systems,
Inc. (NASDAQ: NTCT), an industry pace-setter for advanced network and
application performance management, today announced it is working with
HP to develop a tight integration with its technologies and HP Network
Node Manager i-series (NNMi).
The combined solutions will bring the power of advanced,
application-aware performance alarming, analysis and troubleshooting
into the front line of IT support for both enterprise and service
provider networks. The solutions will also enable early warning of
application performance degradations and an integrated work flow for
problem detection and root cause analysis, providing an edge to
businesses in assuring quality delivery of applications and services
on the network.
Service providers looking for new ways to respond to degradations
in performance of services such as mobile IP, IPTV, or voice over IP
can benefit from the integration of NetScout technologies and HP NNMi.
The combined technologies can detect these performance degradations,
resulting in improved customer experience and a reduction in revenue
and subscriber loss.
"Through our alliance with HP, we will jointly develop a tight
integration of NetScout's nGenius solution and the HP NNM i-series.
This will deliver more power and data to the level-one operator
precisely when they need it--when applications and business operations
are impacted," said Michael Szabados, Chief Operating Officer,
NetScout Systems. "Enabling this level of deep-dive troubleshooting
will drive operator efficiency and reduce time-consuming and costly
escalation."
"We hear from our customers that application performance issues
across the network are challenging and costly to solve, due to the
fact that today's management tools are disparate and level-one
operators do not have access to network performance data," said Ramin
Sayar, senior director of products, Software, HP. "The ability to
integrate data into one view and workflow for level-one operators,
through the integrated HP and NetScout technologies, helps companies
reduce costs, providing for better business outcomes. This new joint
capability will help HP provide our customers more of the next
generation network management functions they need -an important
addition to our already broad network management and Operations
Support Systems (OSS) suite".
Johnson Controls (JCI), a global Fortune 100 company that creates
smart environments where people live, work and travel, utilizes both
HP Software and NetScout technologies in their network operations.
"With three data centers around the globe and just over 1000 remote
sites serving 136,000 employees, JCI needs an enterprise management
system that gives end-to-end application performance visibility and
qualified events for rapid troubleshooting," said Mark West, JCI's
manager of global infrastructure network services. "Better workflow
integration is key for us, and we'll be looking to the HP-NetScout
combination to deliver just that."
