WESTFORD, Mass., Oct. 10 /PRNewswire/ -- NetScout Systems (Nasdaq: NTCT),
the leading provider of network performance management solutions, today
announced availability of enhancements to its core nGenius(TM) real-time
network performance management solution, nGenius Real-Time Monitor(TM). The
new nGenius Real-Time Monitor version 1.3 contains additional features and
advancements in performance and ease-of-use that further demonstrate
NetScout's commitment to innovate and simplify network performance management
for very large, complex network environments.
nGenius Real-Time Monitor is used by more than 3,000 organizations
worldwide to optimize network and application performance, deliver service
assurance and identify network inefficiencies through clearer views and better
understanding of network behavior. nGenius Real-Time Monitor is sold directly
through NetScout and NetScout partners worldwide, including through Cisco
Systems' CiscoWorks2000 Routed WAN and LAN Management Solutions.
The enhancements accelerate network troubleshooting for IT managers, which
is vital to meeting the demands of users and ensuring the performance of
mission-critical applications. New capabilities include both faster retrieval
of captured traffic data and faster delivery of desired screens of
information. In addition, smart data reduction and filtering allow more useful
information to be collected and stored.
This latest release expands access to critical traffic information with
support for new Cisco Catalyst switches, decoding for additional protocols,
increased flexibility in manipulating display screens and recorded traffic
data and support for Packet over SONET networks. It complements NetScout's
recently announced probe for Packet over SONET OC3 and OC12 networks.
To increase ease-of-installation, the new solutions automatically perform
checks for nGenius system software revisions and security configuration. The
displays have been enhanced with intuitive highlighting and pointers, which
are particularly important in troubleshooting complex problems. Users also
have a simpler way of navigating among multiple task modules, such as a one-
click drill-down from traffic monitoring to packet analysis.
"In this newest release of nGenius Real-Time Monitor we have implemented
both planned enhancements and responded to new user requirements that have
occurred with changing market conditions," said Michael Szabados, senior vice
president of Product Operations, NetScout Systems. "Our initial user feedback
is very positive."
