Simple, cost-effective licensing and highly scalable, distributed
solution demonstrate NetScout's price-performance leadership in the
NetFlow market
WESTFORD, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 11, 2006--NetScout Systems,
Inc. (NASDAQ: NTCT), a leading provider of network and application
performance management solutions, today announced nGenius Performance
Manager for NetFlow, a NetFlow-centric solution that includes fully
integrated support for Cisco's IP SLA.
Priced at $125,000 per site license, the solution is aimed at
Global 2000 enterprises, government agencies, and service providers
who are looking to leverage NetFlow data sources to expand their
performance management capabilities with the most cost-effective
solution available.
NetScout's solution combines nGenius Performance Manager for
NetFlow and a number of nGenius Collector appliances, depending on the
scale of the installation. The former collects NetFlow and IP SLA
performance metrics from nGenius Collectors and aggregates, analyzes,
displays and reports them in real time and over history. The latter
are high-performance appliances for receiving NetFlow datagrams from
up to 5,000 interfaces, as well as results from up to 500 IP SLA tests
from Cisco routers.
The benefits of nGenius Performance Manager for NetFlow include:
- Cost-effectiveness. NetScout is delivering a unified solution
for NetFlow and IP SLA analysis and reporting for a one-time,
unlimited enterprise license. This makes the nGenius System
for NetFlow the most cost-effective solution for Global 2000
enterprises, government agencies, and service providers
wanting to leverage NetFlow as a source of data for capacity
planning.
- High Scalability and Performance. The nGenius Performance
Manager for NetFlow supports multiple servers in a distributed
architecture as well as a standby server for protection
against hardware failures and natural disasters. A single
nGenius Collector supports up to 5,000 NetFlow interfaces, up
to 500 IP SLA tests and up to two million flows per minute,
far exceeding the capacity of any other collector product on
the market.
- Superior Analysis & Reporting. The nGenius Performance Manager
for NetFlow gives network managers a unified view of NetFlow,
IP SLA and MIB II data in the same graphical screen views and
reports. Easy to use out of the box, it also includes richer
configurability and built-in troubleshooting aids for quicker
Netflow solution deployment than other common solutions on the
market today.

management and has more than a decade of experience with NetFlow data.
This offering allows our customers to expand their network management
scope in a highly scalable manner," said Michael Szabados, senior vice
