Product description

nGenius Performance Manager is a comprehensive, unified service delivery management solution that assures the performance and availability of application and service delivery. It provides unprecedented visibility into complex networks for • application recognition and monitoring • packet analysis and troubleshooting • response time analysis • reporting and capacity planning • convergence management • alarming and event identification The NetScout nGenius integration with HP Software helps to proactively pinpoint application slowdowns and other significant performance events. From a single dashboard, network professionals can extend industry-leading fault management in HP Software into NetScout's high-definition application visibility to proactively address user-impacting problems and detect traffic anomalies in the most complex, multi-tier infrastructures.

The integration between HP Software and nGenius streamlines the troubleshooting process and accelerates problem resolution. Alarms from the nGenius Solution supply application intelligence and context to HP Software. Upon receiving an nGenius evidentiary alarm, the network operator can immediately see where in the network the event has occurred and a diagnosis of which applications were involved. To get further details, a URL within the alarm message links directly to real-time contextual graphs in nGenius Performance Manager showing link usage over time, contributing applications, users, and conversations. Data mining is graphical and intuitive, with the deepest sub-second granularity and packet decode available with just a mouse click to identify the most complex issues, such as the source of a microburst or the root cause of a complex application problem.

Specific integration points enable the ability to:

  • Receive nGenius Performance Manager alarms and nGenius K2 alerts and probe-based alarms in the HP Software. Alarms include detailed information such as alert type, severity, time, source node, etc.
  • Investigate the cause of an alarm by launching contextual views into nGenius Performance Manager or nGenius K2
  • Display nGenius devices on the NNM L2 and L3 network maps with a NetScout icon
  • Launch the nGenius Alarm View, a view into the specific incident, which displays relevant network details from two hours prior to and two hours after the triggering event

  • Launch nGenius Performance Manager QuickViews from within the NNM Interface View to help evaluate link layer utilization and identify the hosts, conversations, and applications contributing to it.
