Case Study: U.S. University achieves smart data center visibility and improved user experience with NETSCOUT nGeniusONE

U.S. University Adds Smart Visibility Solutions for Data Center Transformation

A historic U.S. university with more than 10,000 students and 850 faculty faced visibility and performance challenges as it modernized its data center—moving to virtualization, SDN, and 10G networking. Its legacy network performance monitoring tool lacked visibility into 10G interfaces, east‑west virtual traffic and cloud services, making application, voice and network troubleshooting slow and fragmented across teams.

The university deployed NETSCOUT’s nGeniusONE service assurance platform with InfiniStreamNG appliances and vSTREAM virtual sensors to convert packet traffic into smart data and provide a single pane of glass for data, voice and application analytics. The solution closed visibility gaps, improved VoIP and application performance monitoring, enabled proactive troubleshooting and better IT collaboration, and supported the transformation in a cost‑effective way while delivering a more reliable experience for students and staff.
