The NETSCOUT / AWS Partnership

Enterprise organizations are turning to Amazon Web Services (AWS) to meet users’ demands for a fast, seamless, and secure digital experience. AWS uses secure storage, powerful compute, and integrated data analytics to support a new breed of distributed, connected applications, helping businesses cut time to market and improve user experience.

Migrating your applications from on-premises to the cloud takes several steps. Combining this with an increasingly complex infrastructure means that the tools you use on-premises may not provide the service delivery and security insights needed to succeed in the cloud.

As you go on your AWS migration journey, reducing business risk requires NETSCOUT® end-to-end visibility, turning traffic data into Smart Data and measuring your success along the way. NETSCOUT's AWS cloud monitoring solutions deliver the information you need to enhance your corporate security posture and optimize application performance. NETSCOUT keeps your business moving before, during, and after migrating applications to AWS.

Use Cases

Accelerate Deployment of Services with AWS

NETSCOUT uses the industry’s most scalable, lightweight, distributed architecture to generate Smart Data. This data serves as the foundation for providing actionable intelligence, empowering enterprises to confidently migrate workloads to AWS. Through continuous monitoring and by capturing all wire data (traffic flows) traversing the hybrid cloud environment, performing simultaneous deep-packet inspection and real-time analysis, vSTREAM® generates Smart Data at its point of collection. vSTREAM seamlessly operates with NETSCOUT’s nGeniusONE solution to gain a centralized view into the performance characteristics of all infrastructure and application components and their dependencies across geographically dispersed data centers and cloud environments.

With valuable and timely intelligence into application performance you can proactively troubleshoot problems.

Solve Security Issues Faster and with Fewer Resources

Omnis CyberStream network security sensors convert raw packets into a rich source of data for advanced network threat detection and response. CyberStream is used in combination with Omnis Cyber Intelligence to provide enterprise-wide cybersecurity monitoring, alerting and detection, in-depth triage, and workflows for investigating potential threats.

Arbor Edge Defense (AED) provides an inline, always-on, first line of defense for inbound distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks. AED provides a single holistic solution to protect customers’ assets no matter where they are, on-premises, in a private cloud, or in a public cloud. AED blocks bulk inbound and outbound threat traffic to prevent overload of the rest of the virtual security stack (such as a firewall). Additionally, AED blocks and alerts on any traffic leaving the network (at the edge) that it identifies as a threat because, at that point, the traffic has passed the rest of the security stack. Enterprises have often expressed that AED provides the first indication of a critical malware infection.
