WESTFORD, Mass., March 24 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
NetScout Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq: NTCT), a leading provider of network
performance management solutions, today announced that it has signed a new
partnership agreement with SCS Networks Pte Ltd, a leading provider of
complete data and telecom networking solutions for businesses in Singapore, to
resell its nGenius® products in that region. SCS Networks is a wholly owned
subsidiary of Singapore Computer Systems, an info-communications technology
service provider that operates in eight countries in the Asia Pacific region
and beyond.
The agreement will help NetScout better serve enterprise and government

our end-to-end network offerings in the increasingly important area of network
performance management," said Mr. Tan Goh Beng, chief executive officer, SCS
Networks. "I am convinced that our customers will benefit tremendously from
NetScout's industry-leading technology by improving their ability to control
the performance and costs of their networks, to better assure delivery of
mission-critical applications and improve operating efficiencies."
SCS Networks has started introducing NetScout's nGenius Performance
Management System to its enterprise customers with very positive feedback.
Businesses in that region face the same challenges as those helped by NetScout
elsewhere in the world, such as finding ways to assure the availability and
performance of revenue-generating and supply chain services, protecting and
improving the returns they get from their IT investments, and improving their
ability to manage internal and outsourced initiatives.
NetScout's nGenius® probes offers SCS Networks' customers rich and
reliable data sources and its flagship management application, nGenius®
Performance Manager, delivers real-time monitoring, Voice over IP monitoring,
troubleshooting, protocol analysis and historical reporting from a single,
unified solution based on NetScout's unique and patent pending CDM(TM)
technology.
"We are pleased to begin working with SCS Networks, which has a superb
technical and business capability within the Southeast Asian market," said Jim
Frey, vice president of marketing for NetScout Systems. "This new alliance
enhances our opportunity to increase and build on our relationships with
customers in this dynamic region."
