NetScout Improves Network And Application Analysis And Monitoring: Page 2 of 2

The purpose of the software is to determine the interdependencies and interrelationships among an organization's application, network, and service components that can end up degrading system performance, the company says.

The underlying ASI technology also has the ability to enable the user to see things across multiple domains. The software is in early field trials now and is expected to begin shipping in July, Shalita says.

The company is also expecting to demonstrate the software at Interop in Las Vegas this month. Existing NetScout users can add the new functionality for about $75,000 per console; new users would also need to purchase additional NetScout infrastructure to support the product.
