NETSCOUT SYSTEMS announced the availability of its next-generation, real-time information platform called the InfiniStreamNG.
The InfiniStreamNG delivers scalability and flexibility in multiple form factors and deployment options: virtual, software and hardware appliances. Both enterprise and service provider customers can leverage InfiniStreamNG in data center, cloud, and hybrid infrastructures, providing seamless, end-to-end visibility, which can dramatically accelerate their digital transformation initiatives. With the InfiniStreamNG, customers can leverage their investment in NETSCOUT solutions, traditionally made by network operations teams, to encompass all aspects of IT and security operations across the enterprise, public sector, and service provider markets.
The InfiniStreamNG was designed with a revolutionary new architecture that “mines” IP traffic intelligence in real time, to deliver timely, accurate and actionable information to service assurance, cybersecurity, and business intelligence applications on a single platform for the first time in the industry. This new, open architecture leverages an advanced and extended version of NETSCOUT’s patented Adaptive Service Intelligence (ASI) technology, now termed ASI Plus, to seamlessly incorporate technologies from the Danaher Communications acquisition, and facilitate support for a wider range of new analytic software from NETSCOUT, from strategic partners and from other third parties.
“Today’s most successful and innovative companies, both in the enterprise and the carrier sector, realize that the flawless delivery of digital services, agile deployment, and cost-effective operations require real-time, actionable intelligence,” said Anil Singhal, co-founder, President and CEO, NETSCOUT. “Three years ago, we saw the opportunity to leverage IP convergence to provide scalable, real-time access to the mission-critical data needed to drive our customer’s digital initiatives. Since then, we have made significant investments in both organic innovation and strategic acquisitions to capitalize on this massive opportunity.”
Singhal noted, “Our InfiniStreamNG is a powerful ‘anyware’ platform that elegantly and seamlessly integrates NETSCOUT’s core ASI technology with the key technologies we obtained through our acquisition of Danaher’s Communications business. In just one year since completing this acquisition, we have delivered a modern, platform-agnostic, and highly cost-effective solution that doesn’t require costly middleware due to our smart data approach for processing, storing and accelerating the collection and analysis of wire data. This real-time analytics platform, harnessing the full power of IP intelligence, will accelerate our customers’ digital transformation initiatives, placing NETSCOUT at the heart of the success of their rapidly changing digital business.”
“A long-time pioneer in the use of real-time network traffic intelligence, NETSCOUT has made this most accurate representation of system activity available to support an entire new generation of carrier, web, and enterprise applications,” said Zeus Kerravala, Founder and Principal Analyst, ZK Research. “This high-quality data, which started out serving mostly network performance management uses, now feeds multiple analytics stacks including service assurance, application performance management, business intelligence and cybersecurity, at cloud scale. With this new level of deeper visibility and greater control, businesses can have the necessary confidence that they will achieve their intended business outcomes as they transform their information architectures.”
The introduction of this new platform represents the realization of NETSCOUT’s vision of bringing the power of IP intelligence to the mainstream in the industry, to deliver comprehensive business assurance to its customers, encompassing service assurance, cybersecurity and big data applications. This platform is also the first proof point of the combined assets and technologies enabled by NETSCOUT’s strategic acquisition of Danaher Corporation’s Communications Business in mid-July 2015 that included Tektronix Communications, Arbor Networks and the enterprise portions of Fluke Networks. With the wide range of analytics supported by the InfiniStreamNG, customers can leverage this single platform to help them consolidate a myriad of specialized analytics and tools, each of which have relied on separate, dedicated platforms across their technology infrastructures.
The first major phase of new analytic solutions supported by the InfiniStreamNG platform is scheduled for release through the rest of this calendar year. The InfiniStreamNG has been shipping to a number of service provider customers for several quarters and will be available to all customers this month.

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 ...

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 ...
