Network Performance Management Solution for Consumer Retail



Summary of information on this page:

 Retail Today 
NetScout’s nGenius Performance Management System meets the many formidable challenges faced by network managers in the retail industry today. A single unified system can:

  • Assure timely delivery of applications involved in credit card processing, such as payment gateways, POS systems and ERP solutions, while maintaining PCI DSS compliance
  • Troubleshoot application degradations affecting inventory management in real time
  • Manage and control the delivery cost of operations

 Business and Network Challenges in Retail  
From pricing to supply chain to brand marketing to merchandising, consumer retail is extremely competitive. Retailers increasingly depend on distributed, networked applications for speedy and reliable:

  • point-of-sale transactions
  • credit card authorizations
  • distributed inventory management
  • customer satisfaction and retention

Where these applications help generate revenues, control margins, and ensure that adequate inventories are available, the pressure on the IT organization to keep the complex, distributed networks supporting them at peak efficiency is almost impossible to measure.
