24x7 Service Level Agreement Testing of Cloud-based Services for
Successful Migration of Mission-Critical Applications
WESTFORD, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 1, 2016--
NETSCOUT
SYSTEMS, INC., (NASDAQ: NTCT), a leading provider of business
assurance – a powerful combination of service assurance, cybersecurity,
and business intelligence solutions, today announced the expansion of
its service assurance solutions for hybrid and public cloud computing
environments with the introduction of nGenius®PULSE.
Larger enterprises have been running virtualized, private cloud
environments successfully for years and have depended on NETSCOUT’s
nGeniusONE® Service
Assurance platform to protect the performance of their
mission-critical, customer-affecting business services. These same
organizations have been migrating applications and select parts of their
IT services to hosted cloud services and software-as-a-service (SaaS)
providers. However, their ability to accelerate this migration has been
limited to date because they have lacked solutions that would provide
the necessary visibility to monitor the performance of these services,
and more effectively prevent and resolve outages.
“Public cloud services afford flexible computing and cost structures for
the business, but they traditionally come with a loss of visibility and
control for many IT organizations,” said Jim Duffy, senior analyst,
Networking, 451 Research. “The addition of nGeniusPULSE to the
nGeniusONE platform gives NETSCOUT customers the ability to measure
service levels and quickly resolve problems.”
“NETSCOUT’s customers not only understand the importance of visibility
from their private cloud experience with nGeniusONE, they consider it an
imperative as they increasingly look at how they move customer-impacting
applications to the cloud,” said Michael Szabados, chief operating
officer, NETSCOUT. “The combination of nGeniusPULSE with the nGenius
platform, with its ability to test cloud-based services for
availability, responsiveness, and adherence to service levels, gives
enterprise IT leaders the actionable insight to migrate with confidence.
Only NETSCOUT is providing pervasive visibility for application service
assurance across the diverse combinations of private, hybrid, SaaS and
public cloud architectures enterprises are deploying today.”
nGeniusPULSE performs synthetic testing for the monitoring of SaaS,
cloud-hosted, on-premise applications, voice over internet protocol
(VoIP) services and network health to identify current and potential
connectivity and performance problems. By simulating user interactions
with an application via nGeniusPULSE, IT staff can produce reports of
cloud and SaaS services that can be shared with providers to ensure
availability and high-quality delivery of these applications, thereby
collaboratively achieving service level agreement (SLA) compliance.
