WESTFORD: NetScout Systems Inc. (Nasdaq: NTCT), a provider of network performance management solutions, Wednesday announced that it has signed new agreements with Dimension Data UK and Dimension Data Germany AG & Co., to provide its nGenius products within the United Kingdom and Germany respectively. Both companies are wholly owned subsidiaries of Dimension Data Holdings (plc) (LSE: DDT), a global technology company. The agreements will enhance opportunity for NetScout in the company's largest European markets. Plans include joint sales and marketing activities aimed at delivering the nGenius Performance Management System to enterprise and government customers. Initial results of these efforts include a major sale of the nGenius solution to a large, UK-based international financial services customer that will use nGenius to improve proactive control over network and applications performance. In addition, nGenius will improve the efficiency and effectiveness of its IT team by centralizing and simplifying the management of its large, complex, global network. "We provide networking solutions for large, premier businesses and NetScout's nGenius System will provide excellent new capabilities for helping them to solve management challenges, while improving performance and cost," said Mark Griffiths, Marketing Director for Dimension Data UK. "It is a strong match of leading edge solutions and a shared vision of delivering optimised IT solutions that underpin this exciting relationship." Dimension Data's 'Application Network' architectural framework focuses on enabling the converging application and infrastructure environments. Dimension Data's customers will thus benefit from NetScout's solution that unifies performance management for the converging enterprise. NetScout's flagship management application, nGenius® Performance Manager, leverages the unified data made available through NetScout's patent-pending CDM(TM) technology to deliver real-time monitoring, troubleshooting, protocol analysis and historical reporting from a single, comprehensive solution. "We are optimistic about our growing relationship with Dimension Data and look forward to this next level of partnering to solve our joint customers' most pressing network management challenges," said Jim Frey, vice president of marketing for NetScout Systems.
