Littleton Road's Netscout Announces New Product

The Wall Street Journal's Marketwatch reports that Littleton Road-based NetScout has announced the new nGenius Integrated Agent for the Cisco Unified Computing System Express platform.

According to the release, the product "seamlessly extends high-definition packet-flow monitoring and analysis capabilities into networking and compute platforms," and eliminates the need for dedicated, standalone network-based monitoring hardware, which is expected to dramatically reduce capital and operational costs associated with achieving visibility in remote branch locations. 

"The increasing convergence of IT services and infrastructure drives the need for a more unified and automated approach to managing service delivery. With the emergence of the lean branch-office architecture, the IT organization needs pervasive visibility that is consistent end-to-end across the enterprise network to assure service delivery for all applications and users," said Steven Shalita, vice president, marketing for NetScout. "By leveraging the service hosting capabilities of Cisco's UCS Express, NetScout is removing the operational and cost obstacles that have traditionally limited the IT organization's ability to monitor branch office locations. Consequently, more pervasive visibility enables the IT organization to achieve a truly global perspective of its service delivery environment to enable a better view into actual user experience and simplify the end-to-end management of IP service delivery."
