NetScout strives to develop alliance partnerships with industry leaders in order to provide our users the highest level of visibility into their network environment and the Riverbed partnership is no exception.
As our readers probably know, WAN optimization and application acceleration comes with an inherited challenge when we talk about visibility. The technology used to increase performance on the WAN link also inhibits the ability to view the traffic with application and network monitoring solutions. That is why NetScout has teamed up with Riverbed Technology.
Over the last year NetScout and Riverbed have worked together to provide complementary solutions that allow our combined customers to optimize their WAN links using Riverbed’s industry- leading technology, and at the same time, maintain the visibility they are accustomed to with the nGenius Performance Management System. The combination of NetScout and Riverbed not only helps to optimize performance, but also provides comprehensive visibility into the networks and applications running on those optimized links.
