WESTFORD, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sep. 7, 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
availability of its next-generation, real-time information platform
called the InfiniStreamNG™. The InfiniStreamNG delivers unprecedented
scalability and flexibility in multiple form factors and deployment
options: virtual, software and hardware appliances. Both enterprise and
service provider customers can leverage InfiniStreamNG in data center,
cloud, and hybrid infrastructures, providing seamless, end-to-end
visibility, which can dramatically accelerate their digital
transformation initiatives. The new platform enables NETSCOUT to elevate
its value proposition and expand its total addressable market (TAM).
With the InfiniStreamNG, customers can leverage their investment in
NETSCOUT solutions, traditionally made by network operations teams, to
encompass all aspects of IT and security operations across the
enterprise, public sector, and service provider markets.
The InfiniStreamNG was designed with a revolutionary new architecture
that “mines” IP traffic intelligence in real time, to deliver timely,
accurate and actionable information to service assurance, cybersecurity,
and business intelligence applications on a single platform for the
first time in the industry. This new, open architecture leverages an
advanced and extended version of NETSCOUT’s patented Adaptive Service
Intelligence™ (ASI) technology, now termed ASI Plus, to
seamlessly incorporate technologies from the Danaher Communications
acquisition, and facilitate support for a wider range of new analytic
software from NETSCOUT, from strategic partners and from other third
parties. As a result, the InfiniStreamNG is positioned to serve as the
industry’s most versatile real-time metadata technology.
“Today’s most successful and innovative companies, both in the
enterprise and the carrier sector, realize that the flawless delivery of
digital services, agile deployment, and cost-effective operations
require real-time, actionable intelligence,” said Anil Singhal,
co-founder, president and chief executive officer, NETSCOUT. “Three
years ago, we saw the opportunity to leverage IP convergence to provide
scalable, real-time access to the mission-critical data needed to drive
our customer’s digital initiatives. Since then, we have made significant
investments in both organic innovation and strategic acquisitions to
capitalize on this massive opportunity.”
Singhal noted, “Our InfiniStreamNG is a powerful ‘anyware’
platform that elegantly and seamlessly integrates NETSCOUT’s core ASI
technology with the key technologies we obtained through our acquisition
of Danaher’s Communications business. In just one year since completing
this acquisition, we have delivered a modern, platform-agnostic, and
highly cost-effective solution that doesn’t require costly middleware
due to our smart data approach for processing, storing and accelerating
the collection and analysis of wire data. This real-time analytics
platform, harnessing the full power of IP intelligence, will accelerate
our customers’ digital transformation initiatives, placing NETSCOUT at
the heart of the success of their rapidly changing digital business.”
“A long-time pioneer in the use of real-time network traffic
intelligence, NETSCOUT has made this most accurate representation of
system activity available to support an entire new generation of
carrier, web, and enterprise applications,” said Zeus Kerravala, founder
and principal analyst, ZK Research. “This high-quality data, which
started out serving mostly network performance management uses, now
feeds multiple analytics stacks including service assurance, application
performance management, business intelligence and cybersecurity, at
cloud scale. With this new level of deeper visibility and greater
control, businesses can have the necessary confidence that they will
achieve their intended business outcomes as they transform their
information architectures.”
The introduction of this new platform represents the realization of
NETSCOUT’s long-held vision of bringing the power of IP intelligence to
the mainstream in the industry, to deliver comprehensive business
assurance to its customers, encompassing service assurance,
cybersecurity and big data applications. This platform supports a broad,
multi-dimensional, leadership initiative we announced more than a year
ago called “Guardians
of the Connected World,” as part of NETSCOUT’s commitment to helping
businesses evolve and unlock opportunities to innovate by delivering
virtually constant and ubiquitous visibility in the connected world.
This is also the first proof point of the combined assets and
technologies enabled by NETSCOUT’s strategic acquisition of Danaher
Corporation’s Communications Business in mid-July 2015 that included
Tektronix Communications, Arbor Networks and the enterprise portions of
Fluke Networks. With the wide range of analytics supported by the
InfiniStreamNG, customers can leverage this single platform to help them
consolidate a myriad of specialized analytics and tools, each of which
have relied on separate, dedicated platforms across their technology
infrastructures.
The first major phase of new analytic solutions supported by the
InfiniStreamNG platform is scheduled for release through the rest of
this calendar year. The InfiniStreamNG has been shipping to a number of
service provider customers for several quarters and will be available to
all customers this month. For more information on NETSCOUT’s business
