Defense Intelligence Agency, Jet Propulsion Laboratory and U.S. Coast Guard
Assure Vital Networked Services
WESTFORD, Mass., June 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
NetScout Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq: NTCT), a leading provider of network
performance management solutions, today announced several Federal agencies
that are expanding their nGenius(R) Performance Management System by
purchasing upgrades to nGenius(R) Performance Manager and/or additional
nGenius(R) Probes. By expanding their NetScout solutions, these agencies are
increasing their visibility into network and applications performance to
further optimize networked services for end-users.
The Defense Intelligence Agency expanded its NetScout solution to gain
further visibility into Fast Ethernet traffic being delivered across its
global network. The DIA has more than 100 NetScout probes deployed worldwide
to monitor the bandwidth requirements of critical, multimedia applications
being delivered across its Joint Worldwide Intelligence Communications System
(JWICS). JWICS is a high-speed network that enables secure intelligence
communications, worldwide. In addition, the DIA is using the NetScout
solution to collect and feed accurate data into modeling scenarios performed
by OPNET Technologies, an nGenius Alliance Partner of NetScout's.
The Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), NASA's lead center for robotic
exploration of the solar system, expanded its NetScout solution to increase
visibility into the data and applications being delivered across its multi-
gigabit internal network. This network supports the delivery of information
gathered by JPL cameras, sensors and telescopes to NASA scientists as well as
supporting communications with spacecraft engaged in deep space exploration.
JPL is using the nGenius solution to proactively assure the performance of
networked services by performing base-lining and trending of bandwidth and
performance requirements for mission critical applications. In addition, JPL
is performing real-time monitoring and troubleshooting to address performance
problems in the network before they impact end users.
The U.S. Coast Guard, a military, multi-mission, maritime service within
the Department of Homeland Security and one of the nation's five armed
services, expanded its nGenius solution to increase visibility into Gigabit
and Fast Ethernet traffic in the core network supporting its Washington, D.C.
headquarters. The Coast Guard is using nGenius to proactively monitor and
assure application performance and network efficiency through measuring
application response time on the network, preventing bottlenecks and providing
faster troubleshooting. Its network supports its core operations of
protecting the public, the environment and U.S. economic and security
interests in any maritime region.
"Government agencies are using our nGenius solution to gain visibility
into how much their networks are being utilized, by which applications and by
which users," said Jim Frey, vice president of marketing, NetScout Systems.
"Using this information, they can proactively exert more control over how
resources get used, plan more efficiently, address problems before they impact
vital operations and accelerate service restoration when problems do occur.
As our federal agencies become increasingly reliant on real-time networks for
their operations, more and more are turning to NetScout for effective
performance management solutions."
The nGenius Performance Management System unifies performance management
for the converging enterprise. NetScout's flagship management application,
nGenius Performance Manager, leverages the unified data made available through
NetScout's patent-pending CDMTM technology to deliver consistent utilization,
response time and availability metrics for real-time monitoring and
troubleshooting, protocol analysis, capacity planning and historical reporting
from a single solution.
