Built on NETSCOUT's nGenius service assurance solutions, the service leverages the deep expertise of the company's VaaS engineering team to help alleviate the burdens faced by corporate and government IT organizations worldwide.
"Businesses have had to adapt to compete in tough talent acquisition and new remote work environments placing increased pressure and demands on IT teams," stated Michael Szabados, COO, NETSCOUT. "VaaS helps enterprises identify and resolve problems quickly to maintain productivity while also helping to ensure an exceptional end-user experience. In addition, our customers benefit by extending the value of the investment they've made in our service assurance solutions to deliver higher returns."

Additionally, the service offers proactive testing of critical applications and services, notification of appropriate customer contacts if an issue is detected, triage, and performance reporting. To ensure greater control, the service also delivers VaaS service reports to IT operations, application owners, and other executives, as needed.
