Case Study: U.S.-based Global Manufacturer achieves seamless SDN data center migration, multimillion-dollar OPEX savings, and faster app deployments with NETSCOUT

U.S.-based Global Manufacturer Seamlessly Migrates to NextGeneration SDN Data Centers with NETSCOUT

A U.S.-based global manufacturer with tens of thousands of employees and products used worldwide needed to modernize its IT footprint by consolidating four legacy data centers into two, implementing SDN/ACI, automating services, and accelerating application rollouts — all on an extremely tight timeline. Aging data centers were costing millions monthly, and any migration delays or outages could impact 50% of the company’s operations and jeopardize projected savings.

The company deployed NETSCOUT’s nGeniusONE with ASI, InfiniStream appliances, and nGenius packet flow switches to validate the pre-production ACI environment, provide real-time packet-level visibility, and support security integration. The solution enabled a smooth migration with no go-live issues, saved millions in monthly OPEX, cut application deployment from months to days, and improved automation, cloud readiness, and security triage.
