Google Cloud Technology Partner
Partnership Overview
With NETSCOUT, Migrate to Google Cloud Platform With Confidence
Enterprise organizations are accelerating their digital transformation with Google Cloud Platform (GCP) to achieve revenue and customer satisfaction goals. Whether migrating applications using lift and shift, refactoring existing applications, or developing new apps with microservices, managing the business in the hybrid cloud and GCP relies heavily on an enterprise’s ability to quickly address service performance and security problems as they occur by eliminating visibility "blind spots" in the hybrid cloud.
GCP has become a natural part of how organizations operate and require NETSCOUT end-to-end visibility across the cloud, on-premises data centers, and colos to assure business continuity, service quality, and security. NETSCOUT solutions deliver Visibility Without Borders - providing actionable insights to mitigate network and application performance issues, threats, and vulnerabilities.

Use Cases
Deep Visibility Into the User Experience
NETSCOUT application performance management for GCP allows enterprises to fully understand the issues affecting the performance and security of their digital services, so they can get ahead of any problems and ensure a positive business outcome.
NETSCOUT uses the industry’s most scalable, lightweight distributed architecture to generate Smart Data from packet data. Smart Data is enriched with multiple data sources to deliver consistent, precise visibility across all aspects of any environment, improving analytics efficacy and enabling the automation that IT and DevSecOps teams need. NETSCOUT supports Google Cloud-native features, such as Google Cloud Packet Mirroring and GCP Network Security Integration (NSI) Out-of-Band. GCP NSI Out-of-Band allows centralized NETSCOUT virtual appliances to be shared across multiple mirroring source VPCs to inspect mirrored traffic for efficient security and performance analysis at scale.
With NETSCOUT, enterprises migrating workloads to GCP can achieve:
- Consistent and precise visibility into application health and performance needed to assure the best user experience
- Application workload migration to Google Cloud with confidence, while retaining full visibility into application performance and security across the hybrid cloud

FAQs
What is the NETSCOUT and Google Cloud partnership focused on?
The NETSCOUT and Google Cloud partnership is focused on helping organizations improve visibility, performance, security, and operational resiliency across cloud and hybrid environments. By combining NETSCOUT’s Smart Data and deep network visibility with Google Cloud native observability and security services, organizations can gain actionable insights into application performance, network activity, user experience, and cybersecurity threats. Together, NETSCOUT and Google Cloud help customers accelerate digital transformation and cloud adoption with confidence.
Why is network observability important for organizations operating in Google Cloud?
As organizations migrate applications and workloads to Google Cloud, maintaining visibility across distributed environments becomes increasingly challenging. Visibility gaps can make it difficult to quickly identify and resolve performance and security issues. NETSCOUT addresses these challenges by providing end-to-end visibility and Smart Data for observability and security in hybrid environments, across cloud, on-premises, and co-locations, helping organizations assure service quality, security, improve user experiences, and accelerate incident resolution.
How does NETSCOUT enhance Google Cloud security and operational efficiency?
NETSCOUT enhances Google Cloud security and operations by providing high-fidelity Smart Data derived from network traffic across Layers 2–7. This intelligence helps security and operations teams detect anomalies, investigate incidents, identify cyber threats, gain deeper insight into application behavior, and automate operational processes and remediation responses. NETSCOUT's Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) capabilities provide the visibility needed to improve threat detection, accelerate investigations, support automation, and enable more effective incident response.
How does the partnership improve customer outcomes?
The partnership combines Google Cloud's scalable infrastructure with NETSCOUT's Smart Data and end-to-end observability capabilities to help organizations maintain service availability, optimize application performance, and strengthen security. Together, these capabilities provide consistent visibility across cloud and hybrid environments, helping customers reduce operational complexity, migrate workloads with confidence, and improve business agility.
How is NETSCOUT deployed in Google Cloud?
NETSCOUT's Smart Data-powered solutions are interoperable with Google Cloud services such as Packet Mirroring and Network Security Integration (NSI) to provide scalable packet-level visibility and observability across cloud, on-premises, and hybrid environments. By transforming network traffic into actionable Smart Data, NETSCOUT helps organizations improve application performance, user experience, and threat detection. NETSCOUT solutions, including nGeniusONE, vSTREAM, vCyberStream, Omnis Sensor, Omnis Streamer, and Omnis Cyber Intelligence (OCI), are available through the Google Cloud Marketplace, enabling organizations to streamline procurement, accelerate deployment, and achieve faster time to value while supporting modern cloud-native and hybrid workloads.
