NetScout Solution for Federal Agencies
Recent mandates to deliver more and better e-government services by their very nature require an increased reliance on the network, which means you must take added precautions to protect against and recover quickly from application slow downs and network failures.
NetScout gives you the efficient solution you need to respond intelligently. With the NetScout Solution, you’ll get the control, performance, monitoring and reporting you need to troubleshoot today’s application delivery problems while having the flexibility to adapt to tomorrow’s challenges.
IT Challenges Faced by Government Agencies
As the government’s IT infrastructure evolves to address the various directives that impact IT services such as eGovernment, Federal Enterprise Architecture (FEA), Homeland Security, and information security assurance, one thing remains constant: IT professionals are responsible for maintaining the reliability and availability of the network and applications that support mission-critical operations and civilian services.
However, these initiatives to modernize and consolidate agency networks and improve government operations also have the unintended effect of increasing the complexity of managing government networks. Furthermore, many agencies have discovered that the addition of new technologies and applications has resulted in a disparate collection of point products to manage the infrastructure – which contradicts the FEA agenda and now requires consolidation.
