NETSCOUT expands its Cloud Offering with the Introduction of nGeniusPULSE
November 2016 by Marc Jacob
NETSCOUT SYSTEMS, INC., announced the expansion of its service assurance solutions for hybrid and public Cloud computing environments with the introduction of nGenius®PULSE.
Larger enterprises have been running virtualized, private Cloud environments successfully for years and have depended on NETSCOUT’s nGeniusONE® Service Assurance platform to protect the performance of their mission-critical, customer-affecting business services. These same organizations have been migrating applications and select parts of their IT services to hosted Cloud services and software-as-a-service (SaaS) providers. However, their ability to accelerate this migration has been limited to date because they have lacked solutions that would provide the necessary visibility to monitor the performance of these services, and more effectively prevent and resolve outages.
nGeniusPULSE performs synthetic testing for the monitoring of SaaS, Cloud-hosted, on-premise applications, voice over internet protocol (VoIP) services and network health to identify current and potential connectivity and performance problems. By simulating user interactions with an application via nGeniusPULSE, IT staff can produce reports of Cloud and SaaS services that can be shared with providers to ensure availability and high-quality delivery of these applications, thereby collaboratively achieving service level agreement (SLA) compliance.
