The Service Assurance Network Revolution: Smart Data in the Cloud
WESTFORD, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 27, 2017--
NETSCOUT
SYSTEMS, INC., (NASDAQ:NTCT), a leading provider of business
assurance, a powerful combination of service assurance, cybersecurity,
and business intelligence solutions, announced today that at Mobile
World Congress 2017 in Barcelona, Spain, it will discuss the increasing
importance of service assurance as service providers transition to
software-centric networks and automation. At this major industry event,
NETSCOUT will share how the Company is helping its customers accelerate,
transform, and innovate their network and services.
The introduction of network-function virtualization (NFV) and
software-defined networking (SDN) is already proving time-consuming,
costly and complex for service providers, and the process will only
become more challenging amid the explosive growth of the internet of
things (IoT) and the advent of commercial 5G networks. The light at the
end of the tunnel is a unified air interface capable of provisioning
bespoke connectivity for everything from cellular-based IoT systems with
minimal capacity requirements to always-on, mission-critical
communications systems that absolutely require the ultra-low latency and
multi-gigabit capacity of 5G. However, the path to advance this network
revolution is fraught with challenges and risks.
As service providers compete on this digital battlefield, NETSCOUT has
taken a disruptive pivot to a software-based instrumentation model to
support the ongoing sea change in how carrier service providers (CSPs)
operate their networks. Providers delivering voice, video and data
services over physical, virtual and hybrid networks can ensure service
assurance continuity on the journey to the cloud while delivering lower
costs, higher intelligence, and a continued carrier-grade experience.
This approach foundationally transforms how operators continuously plan,
deliver, integrate, test and deploy services and applications. NETSCOUT
recently detailed that several leading service providers are deploying NETSCOUT’s
InfiniStreamNG® as software that is integrated with commercial
off-the-shelf (COTS) appliances with a number of others actively
evaluating this approach. Other CSPs continue to test and trial
NETSCOUT’s virtual InfiniStreamNG solutions as part of their NFV
initiatives.
Bruce Kelley, chief technology officer, Service Provider Business at
NETSCOUT added, “At NETSCOUT, we truly feel there is a network
revolution happening now. With our end-to-end coverage and patented Adaptive
Service IntelligenceTM (ASI) Smart Data technology, we
are in a unique position to assist our service provider customers to
cost-effectively transition their network into the cloud as part of this
revolution. Our carrier-grade solutions provide greater intelligence
allowing CSPs to accelerate, transform, and innovate their network and
their services.”
To be successful, service providers need total visibility into physical,
virtual and hybrid environments. NETSCOUT’s ASI Smart Data technology
delivers high-definition, end-to-end visibility into control and user
plane IP-traffic covering every aspect of your converged or standalone
2G, 3G, 4G, 5G, fixed or cable network. Using industry standard APIs,
real-time insight can trigger automated responses in support of
engineering, operations and customer support business lines. Granular
visibility at the system- and sub-system-level provides service
assurance in an era of increasingly fast development and operations
processes.
