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 appliance options provide industry-best flexibility for strategic deployment throughout enterprise, government, commercial, and service provider networks.
