WESTFORD, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 14, 2018--
NETSCOUT
SYSTEMS, INC., (NASDAQ: NTCT), a leading provider of service
assurance, security, and business analytics, announced today that Telefonica
has certified its virtualized solutions vSCOUT™
and vSTREAM™ for deployment with their UNICA Lab architecture that
supports future networks based on network function virtualization and
software-defined networking (NFV/SDN) technologies.
NETSCOUT successfully completed a set of defined tests that demonstrated
pervasive visibility across physical, virtual and cloud networks as well
as interoperability with other virtual network functions (VNFs) on the
UNICA platform.
“NETSCOUT is one of the first network and application management vendors
certified by Telefonica’s UNICA Lab. Throughout the extensive testing
process, NETSCOUT demonstrated the ability to run their virtualized
solution inside UNICA’s architecture. Now, with their new virtualized
solutions, they are able to deliver the same visibility and control
across hybrid environments in a unified way,” said Antonio Elizondo,
Head of Network Virtualization Strategy and Technology in Telefonica,
responsible for UNICA VNF Certification program.
“Telefónica has one of the industry’s most ambitious and forward-looking
visions for future networks based on SDN/NFV technologies. Their UNICA
architecture provides a roadmap to the future, and NETSCOUT has
aggressively taken the necessary steps to be there with them, delivering
unmatched visibility into the hybrid cloud environment,” said Bruce
Kelley, senior vice president, chief technology officer, Service
Provider, NETSCOUT. “NETSCOUT’s robust smart data technology delivers a
pervasive troubleshooting and performance platform that Telefónica can
use across all its new NFV domains, as well as future systems, such as
5G.”
Pervasive Visibility Across Hybrid Environments
vSCOUT and vSTREAM offer pervasive visibility with software-based
instrumentation of traffic flows and application workloads in data
center and hybrid cloud environments. As the foundation for end-to-end
service assurance, including application-and network- assurance, these
tools give Telefonica unprecedented visibility and control of hybrid
cloud environments.
NETSCOUT supports VMware and OpenStack + KVM private cloud, as well as
Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure public cloud environments,
providing visibility to critical network data that is lost when key
network functions and services are virtualized. Administrators can use
the full suite of OpenStack and VMware administrative tools to
orchestrate the NETSCOUT virtual probes and the virtualized network
functions and application services monitored by them.
