encouraging to see NETSCOUT looking to bring simplicity and a top-down
approach with this new Fabric Manager product.”

infrastructures that are scalable on demand. The entire packet broker
fabric can also be monitored by the nGeniusONE® service assurance
dashboard.

simplicity and automation that allowed them to easily scale their packet
broker deployments,” said Sanjay Munshi, vice president, product
management, Packet Flow Systems, NETSCOUT. “Along with the nGeniusONE
dashboard, this brings consistent user experience across the entire
monitoring infrastructure.”
