WESTFORD, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
NETSCOUT
SYSTEMS, INC., (NASDAQ: NTCT), a leading provider of service
assurance, security, and business analytics, announced today that Banco
Votorantim, one of Brazil’s largest banks, has deployed the nGenius®
Service Assurance Platform and its Arbor DDoS solutions to ensure
total service availability and optimized performance of its IT
infrastructure and key applications used by its employees.
“By showing the traffic and behavior of applications, in a non-intrusive
and uncomplicated way, the NETSCOUT technology allows for the monitoring
of the actual user experience and the quality of the services provided
by IT,” said Marcelo Maylinch, head of IT infrastructure, Banco
Votorantim. “This has reduced the time spent in identifying problems
involving network and applications, enabling us to quickly solve
incidents before they become a risk for the bank’s business continuity.”
"It is rewarding to know that we are playing an important role in
improving Votorantim’s network and digital services performance, which
is enabling it to succeed in an ever-competitive marketplace," said
Geraldo Guazzelli, country manager, Brazil, NETSCOUT.
Performance and Service Excellence
As a major financial institution, Banco Votorantim operates a complex
enterprise network to support its locations in Brazil and around the
world. Customers interact with the bank at branch locations,
electronically through web services, and on the phone with their call
centers. As its customer base grew, Votorantim’s IT management required
greater visibility into voice and data application services across the
network for in-depth, real-time analysis, views and reports that could
be used by any of the members of their IT team, as well as help inform
their broader management team. Recognizing that any disruption in
critical services could slow key transactions and jeopardize customer
relationships, Votorantim also needed an anti-DDoS provider that could
protect them on premise and from the cloud. NETSCOUT was able to help on
both of these important fronts.
Banco Votorantim turned to NETSCOUT to provide visibility and service
assurance in the bank’s data centers and branch offices. By using the nGenius
Packet Flow Switch to efficiently feed vital traffic flows from the
data centers to several InfiniStreamNG® appliances
and transform wire-data into smart data, NETSCOUT’s nGeniusONE analytics
monitor the bank’s applications including revenue-critical services,
such as online banking, credit card management and authorization,
automobile loans, and wealth management, as well as all applications
used by associates in the branches. To gain deeper insight into
application performance, user experience and service dependencies while
also adapting to the organization’s security policies and strategy,
Banco Votorantim is also using complementary NETSCOUT tools such as OptiView®
XG, TruView
Live and nGeniusPulse for
synthetic performance testing and portable troubleshooting, ensuring
better day-to-day operations in all of the bank’s agencies and offices.
To ensure network availability and security against different types of
DDoS threats, the protection offered by the combination of the NETSCOUT
Arbor Edge Defense™ (formerly known as NETSCOUT Arbor APS) and NETSCOUT
Arbor Cloud® provides a complete view of the network's
activities, enabling rapid and automatic threat blocking before it can
affect applications and services. Preferring to count on an independent
provider, rather than ISP’s, Banco Votorantim adopted Arbor Cloud, a
fully managed, best practices hybrid cloud DDoS protection program. By
realizing that large volumetric attacks can interrupt ISP services, the
bank’s IT staff opted for a provider with a global presence and the
ability to clear attacks closer to their source.
