Are you ready for anything in a world with no off?
As traffic volume grows, so too does the risk of network failure. Service providers need a unified packet plane that allows multiple groups to access traffic flow data without creating disruptions. After all, there is no off.
Simplify and streamline your monitoring architecture

NETSCOUT nGenius Packet Flow Systems (PFS) and TAPs enable multiple IT groups to aggregate, replicate and manage the flows of traffic throughout the network, whether for service performance monitoring, VoLTE/IMS, video, OTT traffic or security. NETSCOUT supports diverse network traffic operations, including performance management, service delivery management, and security monitoring.
A unified packet plane enabled by NETSCOUT PFS empowers service providers to monitor and analyze subscriber traffic in order to identify new value-added services and billing models, while assuring high levels of service and security. High-density, high-volume connectivity with hardware-accelerated performance and software-based functions enables granular subscriber-level visibility for monitoring and security in dynamic environments.
The Importance of a monitoring plane for the connected world
To meet increasing performance demands, service providers need the ability to make dynamic connections from any point in your network to any tool. You need to deliver cost-effective and complete visibility, while simplifying and streamlining your monitoring architecture, and reducing risk to the network.
