NetScout Systems has been awarded a patent on its Adaptive Session Intelligence (ASI) technology by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
The ASI Patent acknowledges the unique innovations in the core technology behind the recently announced nGeniusONE Unified Performance Management platform and powers the nGenius InfiniStream appliances.
ASI technology further extends NetScout’s more than two decades of leadership and expertise in the performance management market. The metadata generated by ASI is leveraged as part of an indexed repository of valuable information, delivering real time and actionable operational intelligence.
NetScout’s ASI technology is built from the ground up to scale to speeds of up to 100 Gigabits per second on a given network segment using creative data reduction, multi-threading, de-duplication, optimization and stateful inspection techniques.
“Continuously increasing traffic volume and complexities require performance monitoring systems that scale to extract meaningful intelligence from the network,” said Elisabeth Rainge, Research VP, CSP operations at IDC. “NetScout's ASI technology addresses the challenges of variety, velocity, volume, and veracity to deliver meaningful insight into service performance and user experience based upon the correlated analysis of application, network and service sessions."
Enabling massive analysis scale, ASI technology performs real-time data mining of user and application traffic at the network source – as it crosses the wire, eliminating the need for expensive middleware or aggregation servers. The metadata created by ASI technology is leveraged from nGenius InfiniStream appliances into a distributed database residing in nGeniusONE servers.
ASI technology is the key enabler for NetScout’s convergence of Application Performance Management (APM) and Network Performance Management (NPM) into the nGeniusONE platform. The ASI metadata includes key traffic indicators, key performance indicators, and Layer 4 through 7 problem indicators for the discovered applications and servers, without installing device agents or complex provisioning.
ASI can be hosted in physical and virtualized environments and supports hundreds of enterprise applications, including voice and video, and allows future support for new applications, with minimal engineering effort.
“When combined with the analytics capabilities of the nGeniusONE platform, ASI technology enables next-generation NPM and APM capabilities for enterprise organizations who want to reap the inherent benefits of IT convergence, virtualization, distributed data centers and other IT optimizations, but are challenged by the increasing management complexity associated with such environments,” said Anil Singhal, president and CEO at NetScout. “Some of these emerging problems also involve contention for shared resources, BYOD, traffic explosion, interaction between network, server and application components, and inherent dependencies between them. While our immediate focus with ASI is IT operations, it has been designed to create next generation solutions for Big Data analytics and CyberSecurity applications, as well.”

A new study by the IBM Institute for Business Value reveals that enterprises are expected to significantly scale AI-enabled workflows, many driven by agentic AI, relying on them for improved decision making and automation. The AI Projects to Profits study revealed that respondents expect AI-enabled workflows to grow from 3% today to 25% by the end of 2025. With 70% of surveyed executives indicating that agentic AI is important to their organization's future, the research suggests that many organizations are actively encouraging experimentation ...
Respondents predict that agentic AI will play an increasingly prominent role in their interactions with technology vendors over the coming years and are positive about the benefits it will bring, according to The Race to an Agentic Future: How Agentic AI Will Transform Customer Experience, a report from Cisco ...
A new wave of tariffs, some exceeding 100%, is sending shockwaves across the technology industry. Enterprises are grappling with sudden, dramatic cost increases that threaten to disrupt carefully planned budgets, sourcing strategies, and deployment plans. For CIOs and CTOs, this isn't just an economic setback; it's a wake-up call. The era of predictable cloud pricing and stable global supply chains is over ...
As artificial intelligence (AI) adoption gains momentum, network readiness is emerging as a critical success factor. AI workloads generate unpredictable bursts of traffic, demanding high-speed connectivity that is low latency and lossless. AI adoption will require upgrades and optimizations in data center networks and wide-area networks (WANs). This is prompting enterprise IT teams to rethink, re-architect, and upgrade their data center and WANs to support AI-driven operations ...
Artificial intelligence (AI) is core to observability practices, with some 41% of respondents reporting AI adoption as a core driver of observability, according to the State of Observability for Financial Services and Insurance report from New Relic ...
Application performance monitoring (APM) is a game of catching up — building dashboards, setting thresholds, tuning alerts, and manually correlating metrics to root causes. In the early days, this straightforward model worked as applications were simpler, stacks more predictable, and telemetry was manageable. Today, the landscape has shifted, and more assertive tools are needed ...
Cloud adoption has accelerated, but backup strategies haven't always kept pace. Many organizations continue to rely on backup strategies that were either lifted directly from on-prem environments or use cloud-native tools in limited, DR-focused ways ... Eon uncovered a handful of critical gaps regarding how organizations approach cloud backup. To capture these prevailing winds, we gathered insights from 150+ IT and cloud leaders at the recent Google Cloud Next conference, which we've compiled into the 2025 State of Cloud Data Backup ...
Private clouds are no longer playing catch-up, and public clouds are no longer the default as organizations recalibrate their cloud strategies, according to the Private Cloud Outlook 2025 report from Broadcom. More than half (53%) of survey respondents say private cloud is their top priority for deploying new workloads over the next three years, while 69% are considering workload repatriation from public to private cloud, with one-third having already done so ...
