 MPLS Today 
Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) is an important initiative in many enterprises today. Purpose built for delivering multimedia voice, video and data in prioritized QoS classes, IT organizations are now rolling out MPLS upgrades to regional and remote offices as they look for new ways to lower cost, extend scalability, improve reliability, and secure their networked data.

 Business and Network Challenges 
Ensuring high quality delivery of all applications and services across an MPLS network, at all times, for all offices and users essential for today’s enterprises.

  • Maintain network visibility when migrating from Frame Relay or ATM
  • Manage capacity and budget planning activities
  • Validate choices of tiered, QoS-based service plans
  • Enable high levels of employee productivity
  • Troubleshoot network and application response time issues
  • Consolidate reporting and analysis of all WAN technologies

 NetScout Solutions Meet the Need 

  • A single unified solution with nGenius Performance Manager for monitoring MPLS sites along side Frame Relay and ATM locations in real-time and high definition reports and NewsPapers
  • Continuous data capture and troubleshooting analysis with nGenius AFMon at critical consolidation points in the WAN network, where maintaining service quality and deliver is paramount, make it important to have a copy of all traffic.
  • Enterprise-class scalability for open architectures facilitates third party integration and accommodates growth from one server to multiple servers, deployed globally or across multiple data centers.
