NETSCOUT SYSTEMS announced support for Oracle and its Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) in the nGeniusONE Service Assurance platform and Adaptive Service Intelligence (ASI) patented technology.
NETSCOUT‘s enterprise customers are using the capabilities of the nGeniusONE platform to prevent and rapidly remedy the performance degradation of their Oracle database-supported application services.
Oracle databases and Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) are widely deployed in many enterprise businesses today as part of their application services portfolio and database solutions strategy. When deployed in production environments the most critical business requirement is consistently high service availability and performance. This requires that all of the constituents work flawlessly, including EBS applications, Oracle databases, physical and virtual networks, servers, service enablers and user communities. Failure to accomplish this business objective will result in excessive downtime, lost data, service degradation and more, causing delays, lost revenue, poor customer support and user irritation. nGeniusONE Oracle Service Monitors and Service Dependency map reveal all the interdependencies between the service delivery components, and help quickly identify the root cause of service issues and drastically reduce the Mean-Time-To-Repair (MTTR).
The difference between NETSCOUT’s ASI approach and others is directly tied to the analysis of the broader service environment rather than narrow focus on just the Oracle database server itself. Typical application services consist of a complex set of interconnected servers (or layers) for them to operate effectively that include Oracle as a critical part of the service. A mix of application protocols may run over a globally distributed enterprise network environment that includes load balancers, firewalls, Web servers, application servers, database servers with clustering (Real Application Clusters - RAC), and critical enabling services (such as DNS, DHCP, Active Directory/LDAP).
“Service assurance is a critical business objective for applications deployed in the production environment. Since service quality depends not only on the application itself, but also on the network, servers, databases and other infrastructure components, establishing an end-to-end, service-centric view of IT operations through a single pane of glass is vital. NETSCOUT is addressing the requirement for unified visibility with high-value problem identification, service triage and resolution. NETSCOUT’s nGeniusONE Service Assurance platform offers unified visibility and enables IT teams to efficiently research performance issues, quickly identify the root cause in order to reduce MTTR and improve the customer experience,” said Shamus McGillicuddy, Senior Analyst, Network Management at Enterprise Management Associates.
“Only NETSCOUT’s nGeniusONE platform has the ability to analyze and show the Oracle database services simultaneously with the associated application servers, enablers, and network infrastructure,” says Tom Raimondi, VP, Enterprise Business Operations at NETSCOUT. “This empowers IT teams to focus on the key metrics throughout the overall environment and quickly pinpoint the true source of the impairment impacting application service delivery.” Using the common workflows across all application tiers, the platform improves MTTK by enabling collaboration between network, application, and database teams. “This is the first of several upcoming announcements in support of critical business service assurance,” added Raimondi.
The nGeniusONE platform powered by ASI technology is solving application and network performance management problems that impact Oracle-dependent services today. NETSCOUT offers solutions on a perpetual hardware license and/or annual subscription license basis. NETSCOUT has a simplified pricing model that offers the nGeniusONE platform with application service monitors, such as Oracle, incorporated in the integrated solution at no additional charge.

In live financial environments, capital markets software cannot pause for rebuilds. New capabilities are introduced as stacked technology layers to meet evolving demands while systems remain active, data keeps moving, and controls stay intact. AI is no exception, and its opportunities are significant: accelerated decision cycles, compressed manual workflows, and more effective operations across complex environments. The constraint isn't the models themselves, but the architectural environments they enter ...
Like most digital transformation shifts, organizations often prioritize productivity and leave security and observability to keep pace. This usually translates to both the mass implementation of new technology and fragmented monitoring and observability (M&O) tooling. In the era of AI and varied cloud architecture, a disparate observability function can be dangerous. IT teams will lack a complete picture of their IT environment, making it harder to diagnose issues while slowing down mean time to resolve (MTTR). In fact, according to recent data from the SolarWinds State of Monitoring & Observability Report, 77% of IT personnel said the lack of visibility across their on-prem and cloud architecture was an issue ...

Technology management is evolving, and in turn, so is the scope of FinOps. The FinOps Foundation recently updated their mission statement from "advancing the people who manage the value of cloud" to "advancing the people who manage the value of technology." This seemingly small change solidifies a larger evolution: FinOps practitioners have organically expanded to be focused on more than just cloud cost optimization. Today, FinOps teams are largely — and quickly — expanding their job descriptions, evolving into a critical function for managing the full value of technology ...
Enterprises are under pressure to scale AI quickly. Yet despite considerable investment, adoption continues to stall. One of the most overlooked reasons is vendor sprawl ... In reality, no organization deliberately sets out to create sprawling vendor ecosystems. More often, complexity accumulates over time through well-intentioned initiatives, such as enterprise-wide digital transformation efforts, point solutions, or decentralized sourcing strategies ...
Nearly every conversation about AI eventually circles back to compute. GPUs dominate the headlines while cloud platforms compete for workloads and model benchmarks drive investment decisions. But underneath that noise, a quieter infrastructure challenge is taking shape. The real bottleneck in enterprise AI is not processing power, it is the ability to store, manage and retrieve the relentless volumes of data that AI systems generate, consume and multiply ...

The observability industry has an evolving relationship with AI. We're not skeptics, but it's clear that trust in AI must be earned ... In Grafana Labs' annual Observability Survey, 92% said they see real value in AI surfacing anomalies before they cause downtime. Another 91% endorsed AI for forecasting and root cause analysis. So while the demand is there, customers need it to be trustworthy, as the survey also found that the practitioners most enthusiastic about AI are also the most insistent on explainability ...
In the modern enterprise, the conversation around AI has moved past skepticism toward a stage of active adoption. According to our 2026 State of IT Trends Report: The Human Side of Autonomous AI, nearly 90% of IT professionals view AI as a net positive, and this optimism is well-founded. We are seeing agentic AI move beyond simple automation to actively streamlining complex data insights and eliminating the manual toil that has long hindered innovation. However, as we integrate these autonomous agents into our ecosystems, the fundamental DNA of the IT role is evolving ...
AI workloads require an enormous amount of computing power ... What's also becoming abundantly clear is just how quickly AI's computing needs are leading to enterprise systems failure.

The report ... suggests AI scale could cause widespread failures in as little as one year — making it a clear risk for business performance and reliability.
