Managing application and network performance is daunting. Networks have become more complex as businesses adopt new applications and technologies for sustaining competitive advantage. Often each technological addition requires a new tool to manage its performance. This can produce a confusing collection of disparate data sources and management tools, each solving only a piece of the network management puzzle. Chaotic situations like this can impede IT access to meaningful information and result in an unacceptable cost of network ownership.

The nGenius® Performance Management Solution cuts through network complexities and lowers your total cost of ownership by giving you a cohesive view into the multitude of applications and technologies that comprise the business services traversing today’s enterprise networks. Key performance management disciplines, application and network monitoring, capacity planning, troubleshooting, fault prevention, and service level management, are fully integrated into a single management application, nGenius Performance Manager, providing a total network view and empowering IT departments to deliver more efficient network performance to their organizations.

The nGenius product family consists of the following products:

Performance Manager nGenius®
Performance Manager is an enterprise class software solution that monitors the performance of networks and applications running throughout the global infrastructure.

Performance Manager Appliance
nGenius Performance Manager Appliance is a security-hardened, high-performance platform that permits rapid implementation and immediate collection and analysis of key flow-based metrics impacting network application performance.

Probes
Hardware instrumentation for inspecting packets and extracting metrics, for the greatest network visibility possible NetScout’s family of nGenius Probes are non-intrusive, high performance, real-time and historical monitoring devices.

Flow Recorder
nGenius Flow Recorder is a security-hardened, Linux-based appliance that continuously captures, stores, and analyzes large volumes of network traffic. Especially useful for post-event Network forensics analysis.

Flow Collector
nGenius Flow Collector for NetFlow is a dedicated flow collection device that offers highly scalable NetFlow collection and processing.

Integrators
The nGenius Family of Integrators - nGenius Trace Analyzer Integrator and nGenius Integrator for Cisco NAM - enables users to achieve greater interoperability with legacy network analyzers and the Network Analysis Module (NAM) from Cisco Systems. These are software integrators for nGenius interoperability with common industry data sources (Network General Sniffer, Cisco), to provide an easy migration path to nGenius.

Flow Directors
nGenius Flow Directors are multi-functional, hardware options that significantly enhance traffic analysis approaches for data collected via nGenius Probes. These hardware options allow for extending import/export data transfers among probes and 3rd party devices
Analytics

nGenius® Analytics
nGenius Analytics is an appliance-based solution that automates network performance anomaly detection and diagnostics.

nGenius helps you reduce the Mean Time To Repair (MTTR) to such an extent that end- users are not impacted when there are problems on the network.
