The integration of NetScout’s NetScout Solution and IBM Tivoli NetView expands the reach of your NOC by providing increased visibility into networked application performance. The benefits of the combined solution include:

• Lower total cost of ownership by extending your network management investment and easing tool clutter with single console viewing.
• Reduced Mean Time To Repair (MTTR) by providing high-definition visibility into networked application performance for better decision making.
• Faster troubleshooting with one-click access to detailed problem analysis.

 nGenius Integration with IBM Tivoli NetView 
By installing the nGenius Systems’ Integration Utility, Tivoli NetView administrators gain easy access to the application-level monitoring and analysis provided by the NetScout Solutions. The Integration Utility embeds hot links in Tivoli NetView that can directly launch nGenius Performance Manager or nGenius Analytics for Flows from the NetView Console or Event Browser.

Some of the top integration features include:

• The viewing of nGenius Server-based (MIB II) alarms and nGenius Probe-based SNMP traps in the Tivoli Event Browser with a description and contextual link to the alarm details in nGenius Performance Manager or nGenius Analytics for Flows.
• The discovery of nGenius Probes and color-coded display of their status in the Tivoli NetView IPMap.
• The easy launch of nGenius Performance Manager or nGenius Analytics for Flows from the NetView Console tool bar for access to application performance and response time details.
