Case Study: State Government Data Center achieves centralized 40G modernization and improved service delivery with NETSCOUT

Centralizing and Modernizing State Government Data Center Operations with NETSCOUT

A U.S. state IT organization that provides shared services to agencies and universities needed to centralize distributed data center operations into two facilities, upgrade to 40G, and support new VMware VDI (5,000 concurrent users) and Avaya VoIP deployments. Rising packet drops, retransmissions and latency threatened application performance and SLA compliance, so IT required better visibility and analytics to validate the transformation and collapse the existing network.

They deployed NETSCOUT’s nGeniusONE service assurance platform with InfiniStreamNG appliances and nGenius packet flow switches to capture wire‑data, deliver UC analytics and monitor all VDI tiers. The solution provided end‑to‑end troubleshooting, QoS and SLA validation, simplified vendor management and “single pane of glass” visibility, enabling a successful 40G centralization with improved network performance, service delivery, employee productivity and measurable ROI.
