NetScout Systems' NetScout Manager Plus Tops "WAN Management Tool"
Category Based on Ability to Monitor, Analyze and
Report for Both LAN and WAN Environments
NetScout(R) Systems, Inc., (NASDAQ:NTCT), a global provider of business-critical network management solutions, today announced that NetScout Manager Plus(TM) has been selected as a finalist by CMP Media's Network Computing magazine for a 2000 Well-Connected Award in the "WAN Management Tool" category. The product was chosen as an innovative, real-time tool offering the benefits of full application layer monitoring, detailed analysis, proactive troubleshooting and automated reporting for LAN and WAN environments.
NetScout Manager Plus(TM) is based on applications-aware instrumentation with the mission of ensuring optimal network performance. Network managers see a complete view of application traffic flows in real-time for every network segment from the data link to the application layer. This insight into the network helps IT managers make rapid troubleshooting decisions, capacity planning forecasts, and application service level management.
"We are pleased to be selected as finalist for the prestigious Network Computing Well Connected award," said Michael Szabados, vice president of marketing, NetScout Systems, Inc. "NetScout Manager Plus is the cornerstone of the NetScout solution, delivering our customers real-time visibility and control into not just their WAN, but their entire enterprise network."
The winners of the Network Computing Well-Connected Awards will be revealed on Monday, May 8 -- the evening before the NetWorld+Interop 2000 Las Vegas trade show begins. All finalists will be highlighted in the May 15 issue of Network Computing and also on Network Computing Online at www.networkcomputing.com.
NetScout Manager Plus(TM) is based on NetScout's Application Flow Management (AFM) technology, which tracks application flows and their impact on the network. AFM connects the applications to the network by providing a complete top-to-bottom view of applications, networks, and devices, with performance metrics at each level. The ability to view networked applications is central to the success of today's e-business operations, ensuring performance optimization and application availability.
"The Well-Connected Awards are significantly different from other IT publications' awards," said Fritz Nelson, Publisher of CMP's Network Computing. "Our editors worked at length to research and test the best offerings in the enterprise arena." According to Nelson, the products singled out in the Network Computing Well-Connected Awards are unique because "they are not a measure of popularity--they are quality offerings tested over a networked enterprise first hand by editors themselves. Therefore, we know that NetScout Manager Plus(TM) by NetScout Systems, Inc. is truly an innovative solution."
