The nGenius Application & Network Performance Management System
Gives University Comprehensive Visibility into Application Flows and
Enhances Troubleshooting Capability
WESTFORD, Mass., Apr 03, 2006 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- NetScout Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: NTCT), a leading provider of
application and network performance management solutions, today
announced that Wuhan University of Technology in China has deployed
the nGenius(R) Solution to manage the performance of their network
services.
Wuhan University of Technology (WUT) is one of the key
universities under the direct administration of the Ministry of
Education of the People's Republic of China. More than 42,000 student
and faculty users depend on its complex network and application
infrastructure for teaching and office services, remote learning,
video broadcasting, data storage and Internet access.
After reviewing multiple vendors' offerings, WUT selected the
nGenius(R) Solution for its superior collection and analysis of key
performance data, including NetFlow, MIB II, and NetScout's own
nGenius Probe data. Another factor in the university's decision was
the nGenius Solution's rich, informative reports on network
utilization, traffic patterns, and the overall state of their
application services.
The university's network managers use the nGenius Solution to gain
visibility into the application flows running across its network,
optimize network bandwidth resources and perform rapid troubleshooting
to assure the delivery of its mission-critical services.
"Our mission is to deliver the network performance and reliability
that our users demand. NetScout's monitoring solution provides us
unmatched, valuable performance information and analysis to help us
accomplish our mission on a daily basis," said the director of the
Network Management Information Center at WUT. "Now, we have real-time
visibility into how faculty and students use bandwidth, can rapidly
detect abnormal traffic, and are able to troubleshoot problems in a
timely fashion to guarantee service levels. The nGenius Solution's
flexible reporting and deep application visibility make it superior to
other products."
In the first phase of the deployment, the university is collecting
performance data from the core routers at its data center and other
key access points to analyze application flows. Because network
managers get detailed information such as "Top Hosts" and "Top
Conversations" any time and anywhere over the Web, they can more
rapidly identify and resolve performance issues. They can also analyze
user behavior models to more efficiently allocate network resources.
"We are very impressed with how NetScout's products have helped
our customers optimize their network services in a large university
environment," said Wu Banjian, president of Netsky Co. Ltd.,
NetScout's partner in implementing the solution at WUT. "The nGenius
Solution has become an integral part of our network management
offerings to our customers in educational institutions, government
agencies and enterprises."
"The success of the WUT Network Management Information Center in
improving network services to its faculty and students for research
and teaching activities demonstrates the nGenius Solution's
capabilities and flexibility for managing performance in large
networks," said Jim Frey, vice president of marketing at NetScout
Systems. "Wuhan University of Technology is one of many world-class
research institutions that leverage NetScout's High Definition
Performance Management solutions to enhance educational and
communication services such as remote learning, Voice over IP and
broadcast video."
