Case Study: Large African Mobile Operator achieves 65% CAPEX and 34% OPEX reductions and NFV/Cloud readiness with NETSCOUT InfiniStreamNG

Large African Mobile Operator - Customer Case Study

A large African mobile operator was struggling with frequent data loss and degraded service assurance as network traffic surged—forecast to double annually. With infrastructure nearing capacity and tight budget constraints, the operator needed a scalable, software-based monitoring approach to support Network Function Virtualization (NFV) and cloud services without costly hardware refreshes.

NETSCOUT deployed its InfiniStreamNG COTS virtualized monitoring platform to provide Smart Visibility during the NFV/cloud transition and proactive service assurance across a hybrid network. The solution delivered a cost-effective, single-system view for multiple networks, reducing CAPEX by 65% and OPEX by 34% while simplifying troubleshooting and enabling future traffic growth.
