nGeniusONE: Анализ сетевого трафика и производительность

In today’s digital world, where every second of downtime can result in serious financial and reputational losses, network performance monitoring is becoming critical. Overloaded channels, application delays, incorrect service operation – all this leads to reduced business efficiency and customer dissatisfaction. But how quickly and accurately can you identify the cause of a problem when the data is fragmented and there are too many sources of information? The answer lies in a comprehensive network traffic analysis, providing a complete picture of what is happening in your network, and NETSCOUT’s flagship nGeniusONE solution will help you with this in the best possible way.

Evolution to complete understanding: Why is network traffic analysis a necessity?

Traditional network performance monitoring methods are often insufficient, providing only fragmented information. They may indicate a problem, but do not allow you to quickly determine its root. In the face of the rapidly growing complexity of network infrastructure, cloud services and virtualization, a fundamentally new approach is needed. That’s why network traffic analysis is becoming a key element of performance management strategy.

Packet Data: The Single Source of Truth

The concept of a single source of truth implies the existence of a centralized data repository that can be trusted when making decisions. In the context of traffic analysis, packet data is such a source – detailed information about each packet passing through the network. Wire data analysis, that is, capturing and analyzing these packets, allows you to obtain comprehensive information about network operations, user behavior, and applications.

Benefits of packet analysis: from diagnostics to forecasting

  • Problem identification: Rapid identification of bottlenecks, delays, configuration errors, and other issues affecting performance.
  • Deep diagnostics: Determining the root cause of the problem, not just its symptoms.
  • Security: Detecting malicious activity, attacks, and data breaches.
  • Forecasting: Analyzing trends and identifying potential problems before they negatively impact the business.
  • Optimization: Improving the use of network resources and optimizing application performance.

nGeniusONE: A solution for deep network traffic analysis

nGeniusONE is a platform from NETSCOUT designed for comprehensive traffic analysis and performance monitoring. It allows you to turn packet data into actionable insights, providing IT professionals with all the necessary tools for effective network management.

  • Adaptive Service Intelligence (ASI): A technology that automatically identifies traffic types and applies appropriate analysis methods.
  • nGenius Business Analytics: A module for data visualization and report creation, providing a business-oriented view of network performance.

nGeniusONE Features and Benefits

  • Comprehensive network performance monitoring (NPM): from infrastructure to applications.
  • Deep wire data analysis: allows you to see exactly what is happening on the network, at the packet level.
  • Integration with other systems: nGeniusONE can be integrated with existing IT infrastructure management systems such as SIEM and ITSM.
  • Scalability: The platform can be scaled to support networks of any size.
  • Ease of use: An intuitive interface and automation of many tasks simplify working with the platform.

nGeniusONE: Network traffic analysis and performance

What is smart data NETSCOUT and how is it used in nGeniusONE?

Smart data NETSCOUT is a proprietary technology that enables nGeniusONE to effectively analyze massive amounts of network traffic. Instead of simply collecting and storing all the data, smart data identifies the most important characteristics and saves only them, which significantly reduces storage requirements and simplifies analysis. This technology also provides intelligent traffic filtering, directing the analyst’s attention only to the data that is relevant to a specific task.

DPI (Deep Packet Inspection) in nGeniusONE

DPI (Deep Packet Inspection) is a deep packet analysis technology that allows nGeniusONE to identify applications, protocols, and services used in the network. DPI allows you to identify anomalies and suspicious activity, as well as optimize the use of network resources. In nGeniusONE DPI analysis is used for:

  • Traffic classification: Identifying the type of traffic (video, voice, data) and the application that generates it.
  • Attack detection: Detecting malicious traffic and attacks at the application level.
  • Application control: Restricting the use of certain applications or services.

Solving specific problems with nGeniusONE

nGeniusONE helps solve many problems faced by NetOps engineers and IT managers:

Slow application performance

nGeniusONE allows you to quickly identify the cause of slow application performance, whether it is problems with the network, server, or application code. The platform provides detailed information on response times, delays, and errors, allowing you to quickly resolve the problem.

VoIP Quality Issues

nGeniusONE allows you to track key VoIP quality indicators such as jitter, packet loss, and latency, and quickly identify the causes of problems, such as network congestion or incorrect equipment configuration.

Security breaches

nGeniusONE can detect malicious activity on the network, such as port scanning, hacking attempts, and the spread of malware. The platform also allows you to analyze traffic to identify data leaks and other security breaches.

nGeniusONE overview and benefits for your business

In conclusion, nGeniusONE is a powerful tool for effective traffic analysis and comprehensive network monitoring that allows you to:

  • Improve network performance monitoring and quickly identify problems.
  • Reduce downtime and improve the efficiency of IT infrastructure.
  • Ensure network security and protect the business from cyber threats.
  • Make informed decisions based on data.

By asserting packet data as the single source of truth, nGeniusONE enables IT professionals to gain a complete understanding of network performance and security, which is a key factor for success in today’s digital world.
