How NETSCOUT’s ‘Focus On The Packet’ Approach Makes Site Survey Easier

We know how surveying your systems can be nerve-wracking — they are geographically dispersed and intricately interconnected. Using NETSCOUT, we shift the focus to the packets; this makes monitoring more manageable and effective.

How Does This Approach Work? Well, NETSCOUT gives us system-level visibility into all your apps and infrastructure by harnessing the intelligence in your network traffic. The platform continually obtains and processes traffic data at the source using ASI+ technology. It analyzes this information to automatically generate insights that can be interpreted and used to identify and fix low signal areas. We can even narrow down to sub-systems based on individual services. NETSCOUT can also efficiently store this data for posterity.  Using these insights, we are better placed to respond to your business’s changing needs at the pace of your fundamental digital transformation initiatives.

The Tool Has Two Basic Modes:

  • Survey Mode: We must be onsite to ‘survey’ the existing coverage. Once we’ve connected our laptop to your network, NETSCOUT leverages its insights to notify us of areas that don’t have enough coverage, have low signals or channel overlap.
  • Planner Mode: We do need to be on-site to use this mode. It’s essentially for predicting where your access points should be/where they should be placed, and how their coverage will be.

How Will You Benefit From NETSCOUT?

  • Deployment Agility: You can conveniently roll out digital business initiatives without worrying that they’ll slow down your sites. Thanks to the tool’s insightful data, we will be at the forefront of the precise adjustments needed to support these changes.
  • Proactive Performance Monitoring: NETSCOUT gives us real-time visibility into your processes, complete with meaningful insights to identify and correct low signals.
