Engage '08 to be held in San Diego October 6-9, 2008
WESTFORD, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 27, 2008--NetScout Systems,
Inc. (Nasdaq: NTCT), the industry leader in advanced network and
application performance management, today announced its newly renamed
user forum summit, Engage '08, will be held October 6-9, 2008 on the
Island of Coronado, just across the bay from San Diego.
Participation in NetScout's User Forum is on the rise, and
attendance at Engage '08 is expected to be nearly double that of 2007
attendance--a result of the 2007 acquisition of Network General as
well as heightened demand for in-depth visibility to address mounting
network and application performance management challenges.
Engage '08 will feature keynotes by NetScout executives as well as
by industry experts. Network World co-founder and CEO John Gallant
will moderate a user panel discussion during the event. NetForecast
analyst Peter Sevcik will speak on performance management best
practices, help attendees understand how they are doing relative to
the industry as a whole, and will offer tips for improvement.
This is the seventh annual meeting of NetScout users. Engage '08
attendees will:
- experience the next evolution of nGenius and Sniffer
solutions. This year will include integrated products and
solutions from the recent combination of NetScout and Network
General. There's more to learn than ever before.
- take advantage of additional hands-on training. More than 50
training sessions are on the agenda, including hands-on labs
for shipping NetScout products and instructor-led tutorials
from the Sniffer University curriculum. Participants can
recommend a particular breakout session topic or training
course during registration (www.netscout.com/engage08) or can
make requests by email ([email protected]).
- participate in focused sessions on key products and
technologies. The conference offers the opportunity to engage
in discussions with peers on nGenius and Sniffer in action;
take advantage of a full program of lecture, roundtable, and
hands-on sessions covering product training and best
practices; and hear from NetScout representatives about future
strategies and directions.
Engage '08 is the place for members of the network monitoring
community to connect with NetScout and their peers, said Jim Frey,
vice president of marketing at NetScout. Approachability, learning,
and engagement have become the signature of this event, and we look
forward to the biggest, best user conference yet.
