Next Generation Technology Supports Converged APM and NPM
Capabilities and Enables Big Data Scale for Enterprise Deployments
WESTFORD, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Mar. 19, 2014--
NetScout®
Systems, Inc. today announced that it has been awarded a patent on
its Adaptive Session Intelligence™ (ASI) technology by the United States
Patent and Trademark Office. The ASI Patent acknowledges the unique
innovations in the core technology behind the recently announced nGeniusONE™
Unified Performance Management platform and powers the nGenius®
InfiniStream® appliances. ASI technology further extends
NetScout’s more than two decades of leadership and expertise in the
performance management market. The metadata generated by ASI is
leveraged as part of an indexed repository of valuable information,
delivering real time and actionable operational intelligence. NetScout’s
ASI technology is built from the ground up to scale to speeds of up to
100 Gigabits per second on a given network segment using creative data
reduction, multi-threading, de-duplication, optimization and stateful
inspection techniques.
“Continuously increasing traffic volume and complexities require
performance monitoring systems that scale to extract meaningful
intelligence from the network,” said Elisabeth Rainge, research vice
president, CSP operations at IDC. “NetScout's ASI technology addresses
the challenges of variety, velocity, volume, and veracity to deliver
meaningful insight into service performance and user experience based
upon the correlated analysis of application, network and service
sessions."
Enabling massive analysis scale, ASI technology performs real-time data
mining of user and application traffic at the network source – as it
crosses the wire, eliminating the need for expensive middleware or
aggregation servers. The metadata created by ASI technology is leveraged
from nGenius InfiniStream appliances into a distributed database
residing in nGeniusONE servers. ASI technology is the key enabler for
NetScout’s convergence of Application Performance Management (APM) and
Network Performance Management (NPM) into the nGeniusONE platform. The
ASI metadata includes key traffic indicators, key performance
indicators, and Layer 4 through 7 problem indicators for the discovered
applications and servers, without installing device agents or complex
provisioning. ASI can be hosted in physical and virtualized environments
and supports hundreds of enterprise applications, including voice and
video, and allows future support for new applications, with minimal
engineering effort.
“When combined with the analytics capabilities of the nGeniusONE
platform, ASI technology enables next-generation NPM and APM
capabilities for enterprise organizations who want to reap the inherent
benefits of IT convergence, virtualization, distributed data centers and
other IT optimizations, but are challenged by the increasing management
complexity associated with such environments,” said Anil Singhal,
president and CEO at NetScout. “Some of these emerging problems also
involve contention for shared resources, BYOD, traffic explosion,
interaction between network, server and application components, and
inherent dependencies between them. While our immediate focus with ASI
is IT operations, it has been designed to create next generation
solutions for Big Data analytics and CyberSecurity applications, as
well.”
