Case Study: Forte Data Solutions achieves accelerated AWS migration and restored application performance with NETSCOUT

Forte Data Solutions Relies on NETSCOUT to Assure Migration of Services From On‑Prem to AWS Cloud

Forte Data Solutions, a provider of professional and managed data services, migrated many application and database workloads from an on‑premises datacenter to AWS for elasticity and cost efficiency. After the move, users of its web-based statistical application experienced slow queries, instability, intermittent freezes and timeouts when generating reports—causing delayed reports, frustrated users and lost revenue—and IT lacked end‑to‑end visibility across the hybrid environment to find the root cause.

Forte deployed NETSCOUT vSTREAM appliances and virtual nGeniusONE with VPC Traffic Mirroring to monitor Apache, Oracle and Java traffic across on‑prem and AWS environments. The monitoring quickly identified Java-related errors and problematic RAC scaling; reverting the Java version and stabilizing scaling eliminated the errors, restored application performance, accelerated migration, reduced Mean‑Time‑To‑Knowledge, and prevented further report delays and revenue loss.
