Managing application and network performance is daunting. A major challenge facing IT professionals today is gaining adequate visibility into all the network technologies that have been implemented to enhance the delivery of business services. To manage the increasing complexity and diversity, you need a network performance monitoring system that spans the enterprise, regardless of network topology.

Visibility: from Application Traffic to Packet Details 
The NetScout Solution provides comprehensive network performance monitoring views – ranging from the application traffic flows to full packet payload details – in the core, distribution and access areas of the network to help you effectively monitor and troubleshoot the network services you deliver to the business.

The NetScout Performance Management Solution is an integrated network management application that addresses key performance management disciplines:

• application and network monitoring
• network capacity planning
• network troubleshooting
• fault prevention
• service level management

Cutting through the Complexities  
The NetScout Performance Management Solution provides a unified approach to network and application performance monitoring. As a result, it cuts through network complexities and:

• Lowers total cost of ownership by providing a cohesive and integrated view into all the applications and technologies that comprise the business services traversing today’s enterprise networks.
• Reduces MTTR by monitoring and troubleshooting an extensive array of network technologies on a single screen: Gigabit Ethernet and Fast Ethernet for coverage in the network core; high speed ATM, WAN/Frame Relay and POS in the distribution layer; and T1/E1 and Fast Ethernet instrumentation in the access layer.
• Achieves proactive control of complex infrastructures, such as switched networks, load-balanced configurations, redundant segments and virtual circuits, to help you fully understand how application traffic is transported across the enterprise.
• Supports large or geographically dispersed environments with its distributed server architecture, including consolidated, enterprise-wide reporting and global configuration capabilities.
