Case Study: a leading banking institution service provider improves financial application performance with NETSCOUT observability

NETSCOUT Observability at Remote Offices Assures Financial Service Performance for Leading Bank

A leading banking institution providing global wealth management services faced significant challenges in monitoring network and application performance across its extensive, distributed infrastructure. With remote offices, ATMs, and a growing AWS cloud presence, the bank had visibility gaps that led to lengthy performance disruptions. These issues, particularly affecting business-critical applications like SWIFT and its teller application, resulted in customer frustration and increased mean time to repair (MTTR). To address this, the bank worked with NETSCOUT to implement an observability strategy using their nGeniusONE solution and Visibility as a Service (VaaS).

NETSCOUT's solution involved deploying InfiniStreamNG and vSTREAM appliances across the bank's data centers, colocations, and cloud environments to extend packet-level visibility to every business edge. This provided the IT team with comprehensive observability and intuitive dashboards in nGeniusONE, which streamlined troubleshooting. The results included a dramatically reduced MTTR, assured performance for revenue-impacting applications, and increased business resiliency. By minimizing performance-related risks, NETSCOUT enabled the bank to support its growth initiatives and deliver reliable financial services to its clients.
