NETSCOUT SYSTEMS announced the integration of nGeniusONE® and F5 technologies to automatically configure monitoring for custom applications.

The solution helps customers eliminate blind spots at the packet level for better application performance and security assurance.

Using NETSCOUT’s InfiniStreamNG appliances in combination with nGeniusONE provides visibility and analysis into any infrastructure environment, including data centers, private and public cloud, and co-location facilities for customer-facing applications like voice, video, SaaS, and UCaaS, regardless of where they are accessed. Integration efforts with F5, a multi-cloud application services and security company, enable user-controlled business applications to be imported directly from F5 BIG-IP server pool definitions.

“Our partnership with F5 helps ITOps teams discover, automatically gain control, and continually monitor custom applications to ensure SLAs are met,” stated Paul Barrett, CTO of Enterprise, NETSCOUT. “Since these applications typically drive greater revenue, profitability, and competitive differentiation to ensure a better customer experience -- or help comply with regulatory requirements -- assuring optimal performance and security is essential.”

“BIG-IP Local Traffic Manager can provide NETSCOUT’s ISNG instrumentation with clear, unencrypted traffic for custom applications in both physical and virtual/cloud environments,” said Arul Elumalai, Senior Vice President and General Manager, BIG-IP, F5. “We’re pleased to collaborate with NETSCOUT to help the most advanced organizations secure, monitor, and optimize every app anywhere.”
