Deliver Superior User Experience with Enhanced Visibility
Organizations embracing digital transformation face network and application visibility challenges, regardless of the next-generation platforms involved in such transitions. NETSCOUT provides organizations with the flexibility to deploy the InfiniStreamNG (ISNG) application and network monitoring appliance’s technology in a manner best-suited to specific infrastructure, visibility requirements, and budgetary goals.
Benefits
Freedom to Choose
Interface and expanded storage options effectively address unique network speeds, desired processing performance, and capacity requirements thanks to flexible packet monitoring solutions.
Cost-Effective Visibility
Software-based instrumentation supports strategic and budget-conscious deployment on Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) hardware.
A Perfect Fit
ISNG models support any environment, ranging from the network edge, small remote facilities, satellite offices, and disaster recovery locations, to the data center core.
Extended Value
NETSCOUT nGenius solutions use smart data derived from packet captures and synthetic transactions for single pane of glass analysis to reduce MTTR.
Flexibility for Cost-effective Visibility
As data centers race toward software-centric solutions and underlying network designs evolve, IT teams and service providers look for ways to maximize investments with agile solutions designed to grow with the network. NETSCOUT’s ISNG software and hardware application and network monitoring appliance options provide industry-best flexibility for strategic deployment throughout enterprise, government, commercial, and service provider networks. Leverage Smart Data on your network with our real-time packet monitoring solution.

ISNG Software deployed on commercially available servers from Dell & HPE. ISNG software kit including an ASI Accelerator NIC is purchased from and supported by NETSCOUT. Server hardware and support are purchased separately from the third-party hardware vendor.
- Accommodates organizations that have standardized on Dell or HPE platforms in their data centers, with ISNG software running on a recommended “off-the-shelf” server configuration tested and qualified for use with NETSCOUT’s software.
- Customer integration is required. Customer is responsible for installing the ASI NIC and software on the server hardware.
- Enhanced security and functionality is provided by the same NETSCOUT hardened OS.
- NETSCOUT MasterCare support covers the ISNG software and the ASI Accelerator NIC. Customer is responsible for maintenance/support for the qualified server.
ISNG Advantages
Network Operations teams reduce management complexity in large networks with all ISNG appliances centrally managed through the nGeniusONE platform.
ISNG-derived “Smart Data” is used for nGeniusONE views, alerts, and reports, including key performance indicators, network and application error details, specialized service monitors, session records, and packet decodes.
Qualified software appliances combine the advantages of NETSCOUT’s ISNG software and the flexibility to use third-party hardware vendors.
The hardware is optimized for the performance and functionality of ISNG software. Hardware appliances and Certified software appliances use purpose-built hardware that is engineered to provide the best performance, highest reliability, and most complete functionality with NETSCOUT’s ISNG software.
All three deployment options use NETSCOUT’s ISNG software and hardened operating system to provide the best dependability and functionality. RAID storage and selected hardware redundancy are available to ensure reliability.
ISNG software and hardware are engineered for maximum availability and dependability.
Choose the right ISNG option for unique environments, needs, and capabilities. Software appliance options increase network monitoring visibility. The vSTREAM™ solution extends monitoring reach into public and private cloud environments.
Three deployment models provide unparalleled flexibility to achieve optimal performance and total cost of ownership (TCO) for your application and network monitoring appliances.
