nGeniusONE Service Assurance Platform is Trusted to Optimize
Performance of Citrix XenApp, XenDesktop and NetScaler Solutions
WESTFORD, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 23, 2015--
NETSCOUT
SYSTEMS, INC. (NASDAQ:NTCT), a market leader in service assurance
and cybersecurity solutions, today announced that the nGeniusONE®
Service Assurance platform has been verified as Citrix Ready. The
Citrix Ready program helps our joint customers understand how Citrix
virtualization, networking and cloud services solutions are complemented
by the real-time performance analytics of the nGeniusONE platform to
successfully reduce the time to pinpoint and correct service
degradations that impact delivery of those services.
The Citrix Ready program makes it easy for customers to identify
complementary products and solutions that can enhance Citrix
environments. Customers can be confident that the nGeniusONE platform
has successfully passed a series of tests established by Citrix, and can
be trusted to work effectively with Citrix XenApp, XenDesktop and
NetScaler to optimize service delivery performance. Demos and
information about the nGeniusONE platform can easily be found in the
Citrix Ready Marketplace, an online catalogue of over 25,000 partner
offerings verified to work with Citrix products.
Mission critical business applications rely on Citrix and other IT
services to work together flawlessly. But when problems do occur, it is
imperative that IT isolates the problem and restores service as quickly
as possible. Legacy IT approaches look at individual components of the
service in an attempt to identify the cause of a problem. NETSCOUT
leverages network traffic between all of the components of the service
and quickly triages the root cause of a problem. This is made possible
by NETSCOUT’s patented Adaptive Service Intelligence (ASI) technology.
Citrix environments are used to provide access to the applications that
are mission critical to the business. These applications are inherently
complex, relying on multiple parts of the IT infrastructure, all of
which must communicate with each other to ensure their successful
delivery to the end user. This network traffic is leveraged by NETSCOUT
using patented ASI technology to look deep into the packets and expose
key performance indicators that expose problems with the entire service.
This approach allows IT to quickly isolate the source of a problem.
NETSCOUT’s unique, holistic visibility of end-to-end services, including
the interdependencies between service components and Citrix products
across the multi-tier enterprise, provides a collaborative approach to
service assurance and troubleshooting that is not present in legacy IT
environments. The nGeniusONE platform provides continuous monitoring and
rich insights into this application traffic including the ICA/CGP
protocols used by Citrix as well as the many network components and
global environment that Citrix protocols and products depend on such as
the network infrastructure, application servers, backend databases, and
service enablers such as DNS, LDAP, RADIUS and Active Directory. ASI
technology leveraged by the nGeniusONE platform eliminates excessive
delays in diagnosing the true source of a problem and reduces
Mean-Time-to-Repair / Resolution (MTTR) and quite often proving the
performance issue is NOT a Citrix issue at all - Mean-Time-to-Innocence
(MTTI).
“As leading enterprise solutions, both Citrix and NETSCOUT are used in
many of the largest and most demanding enterprises around the world. Any
customer utilizing Citrix solutions to achieve their mobility goals of
delivering essential business services with secure anytime, anywhere
access, benefits from the nGeniusONE platform’s ability to assure
availability and optimization of their IP and Citrix services,” said
Siddharth Rabindran, director, Citrix Ready at Citrix. “By taking part
in our Citrix Ready program, NetScout has enabled its customers to
obtain the highest quality user experience available today, and the
simplest means for making an informed product purchasing selection.”
“The key differentiation with NETSCOUT’s ASI technology approach is that
it is directly tied to continuous monitoring and real-time analysis of
the broader service environment rather than being focused on a single
service domain,” said Jennifer Clark, vice president, Network Research
at 451 Research. “Enterprises will welcome the ability to maintain a
unified view across the global enterprise and to rapidly pinpoint the
source of performance degradations regardless of where the issue is
originating.”
“As part of the Citrix Ready program, CITRIX and NETSCOUT are working
together to deliver highly available, always-on Citrix app and desktop
virtualization. NETSCOUT’s nGeniusONE Service Assurance platform is an
ideal complement to Citrix’s secure mobility solutions.” explained Tom
Raimondi, vice president Enterprise Business Operations at NETSCOUT. “As
IT organizations face the challenge of delivering more complex and
interdependent services, nGeniusONE ensures that these services meet
user expectations and helps transform IT from legacy approaches to the
next generation of IT. With nGeniusONE in use, customers are able to
confidently complete their technology migrations and manage their Citrix
VDI environments, meeting or exceeding the ROI goals for their
organizations,” added Raimondi.
