Case Study: Government Agency achieves reliable VPN performance and avoids costly bandwidth upgrades with NETSCOUT nGeniusONE

Government Agency Resolves VPN Performance Issues With NETSCOUT Visibility

A federal government IT team that supports nationwide employees and branch offices faced degrading VPN performance and bandwidth contention as remote-user traffic surged. Analysis showed growing VPN sessions—many streaming consumer services like Netflix and YouTube—were consuming internet circuit capacity and impairing access to critical applications.

Using NETSCOUT’s nGeniusONE and InfiniStreamNG appliances, the team deployed real-time dashboards to pinpoint non‑essential traffic and implemented split tunneling to route streaming and general web traffic directly to the internet. The change restored application performance for remote workers, avoided costly bandwidth upgrades, improved end-user streaming experience, and underscored the value of the NETSCOUT partnership.
