Case Study: European Military Agency achieves increased network agility and enhanced data security with NETSCOUT

European Military Agencies Improve Network Performance, Data Security with NETSCOUT

A government-owned IT provider that manages non‑military network and application elements for a European country’s defense agencies faced stricter security mandates and modernized infrastructure needs: higher-speed (40/100G) networks, expanded encrypted data storage for forensic analysis, and policy limits on real‑time monitoring that forced reactive, packet‑capture forensic workflows. These constraints made gaining timely visibility and maintaining performance across mission‑supporting commercial applications increasingly difficult.

The provider upgraded its NETSCOUT deployment with nGeniusONE service assurance, InfiniStreamNG appliances (with ASI smart data, expanded storage and self‑encryption), and nGenius 5000 packet flow switches to aggregate and route high‑speed traffic to monitoring tools. The solution improved packet‑level visibility and forensic capability, reduced mean time to repair, boosted network agility and data security, and simplified operations through a single vendor for service assurance and packet broker technology.
