nGenius Packet Flow Switches Deliver Key Capabilities Needed in
Demanding Service Provider Environments
WESTFORD, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jun. 27, 2016--
NETSCOUT
SYSTEMS, INC. (NASDAQ: NTCT), a market leader in service assurance
and cybersecurity solutions, today announced that its packet flow
switches (also often called network visibility switches) have achieved
the number one market share position in the service provider segment
globally according to business information provider IHS’s Network
Monitoring Equipment report from May 2016. Building on the success of
the nGenius
3900 series packet flow switches, the addition of the PFS
6010 to the portfolio, with its massive scaling capabilities and
ultra-high performance, helped propel NETSCOUT to the top of this
segment.
Significant upgrades to 100G core networks increase challenges in
scaling, monitoring and visibility. For instance, VoLTE is one of the
reasons for the large amount of traffic that service providers must
monitor. Service providers want to minimize the tremendous amount of
voice-traffic backhaul, and can leverage capabilities such as packet
slicing to minimize backhaul traffic. The monitoring tools can then more
effectively analyze the traffic they receive from the packet flow
switches as well as handle more traffic. With workload challenges for
network operations increasing, service providers are seeking to deploy
solutions that can help drive operational simplicity, scalability, and
flexibility.
“A service provider’s success depends on how well their network and
services perform, and it’s critical for them to identify anomalies as
soon as they occur, not after user complaints start pouring in,” said
Matthias Machowinski, research director, Enterprise Networks and Video
at IHS Technology, and author of the report. “NETSCOUT has achieved a
leading position providing network monitoring equipment to service
providers by coupling its monitoring equipment with a complete service
assurance solution as well as by providing support for third-party
monitoring tools.”
Utilized by service providers around the world, the nGenius Packet Flow
Switches have gained success with key benefits such as:
-
All-inclusive features enabling advanced packet functionality at no
additional cost or complexity
-
Modular scalability supporting networks from less than a dozen to
thousands of ports, and with speeds ranging from 1G to 100G
-
Operational simplicity with the PFS Management software, providing an
easy-to-use graphical interface that delivers powerful user functions
and flexibility
“We are excited to have our PFS product line recognized as the number
one choice by service providers for network monitoring equipment,” said
Brian McCann, president, Packet Flow Switch Business Unit at NETSCOUT.
“Our recent integration of VSS Monitoring into the Packet Flow Switching
business has expanded our portfolio, our features, and the value we
offer to both service provider and enterprise customers worldwide.”
