NETSCOUT
SYSTEMS, INC. announced its
successful collaboration with Aruba, a Hewlett Packard Enterprise
company, to test and validate the use of NETSCOUT services with Amazon
Web Services (AWS) Cloud WAN and Aruba EdgeConnect Enterprise SD-WAN. As
a result, shared customers can now leverage an architecture that offers
end-to-end visibility into the performance of workloads and application
services deployed across data centers, remote sites, and the AWS global
network.
The
Aruba EdgeConnect Enterprise SD-WAN platform enables customers to build
a unified wide area network (WAN) edge that is business-driven,
delivers a high-quality experience, and adapts to changing business
needs and network conditions. Combined with AWS Cloud WAN, organizations
deploying Aruba EdgeConnect and NETSCOUT's vSTREAM, InfiniStreamNG, and
nGeniusONE products can extend DPI at scale packet-level visibility
and service assurance across all of their data centers, remote sites,
and cloud applications.
"Aruba
is collaborating with NETSCOUT to assure that our combined
organizational, operational, and technical capabilities help our
customers realize business benefits faster and more efficiently," said
Fraser Street, WAN Technical Alliance coordinator at Aruba.
This
pioneering new capability with Aruba EdgeConnect is already adding
value to NETSCOUT's own information technology (IT) department, which is
using it with AWS Cloud WAN to connect NETSCOUT's production,
management, and test environments in data center and remote branch
offices, across the WAN, to AWS.
"NETSCOUT
is using Aruba EdgeConnect to conform our hybrid cloud infrastructure
to our ever-evolving business needs. This SD-WAN platform effectively
connects our edge-to-AWS enterprise, allowing us to enforce security and
service performance policies across the WAN," stated NETSCOUT CIO Thor
Wallace. "Together with NETSCOUT's visibility fabric, comprised of
nGeniusONE, vSTREAM, and InfiniStreamNG, we can deliver the highest
quality user experience by assuring service performance and security
end-to-end across our globally dispersed infrastructure and our extended
attack surface."
