WESTFORD, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 29, 2000--
-- NetScout Responds to Increased Demand for E3 ATM Network
Monitoring in European Markets --
NetScout(R) Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: NTCT), a global provider of business-critical network management solutions, today announced the availability of the industry's first application-aware E3 ATM Probe. Designed for European communications standards, the E3 ATM Probe extends NetScout's solutions in wide area networks and addresses the European demand for better managing widespread, costly E3 ATM networks. An important component of NetScout's suite of ATM probes, the new solution enables customers to keep e-business applications running efficiently across high-speed ATM-based enterprise networks or service provider uplinks.
"As a wireless service provider, we offer a wide variety of services, such as a mobile Internet connection through WAP (Wireless Access Protocol)," said Joao Horta, network administrator at Optimus, a leading European telecommunications provider. "It is imperative that we understand how our customers are using our services, and how much bandwidth is being consumed at any given time. The NetScout E3 ATM Probe ensures that we have the information we need to provide the highest level of service to our customers."
The E3 ATM probe is an extension of its American equivalent - the DS3 ATM probe - which has been highly successful since its introduction last September. The new probe is important to European companies as well as American companies with European subsidiaries because it offers extended visibility into global networks. Unlike other solutions available on the market today, NetScout's E3 ATM Probe is based on industry-standard technology (such as ATM RMON), providing customers with superior investment protection and deployment flexibility.
"This new probe highlights NetScout's commitment to serving our international customer base with a suite of products that provides insight into how the network is performing in support of the business," said Michael Szabados, vice president of marketing, NetScout Systems, Inc. "Continuing to increase the breadth of our Application Flow Management family of products is essential to supporting our enterprise customers in their transition to the e-business model."
Through support for AppScout and NetScout Manager Plus, the E3 ATM Probe enables customers to track application flows, application service levels, application response time, protocol distribution and utilization statistics, ensuring efficient network performance critical to maintaining a successful e-business. NetScout's E3 ATM Probe, which allows customers to track applications by server, network segment or user, focuses on high-level information relevant to a customer's business rather than on physical layer statistics. Additionally, NetScout's solution provides a non-intrusive connection to the customer's network, eliminating the chance of a single point of failure on these business critical links.
Pricing and Availability
The E3 ATM probe is $23,995.00 and is available today. For additional product or ordering information, call NetScout at 1-800-657-7666.
