NetScout Performance Management Solutions for
Federal, State & Local Government

The complexity of managing governmental networks has increased as a result of the many initiatives to modernize and consolidate agency networks and to improve government operations. Many agencies have discovered that the addition of new technologies and applications over the years has led to a disparate collection of products to manage the infrastructure. This myriad of point tools within and across agencies contradicts the FEA agenda and now requires consolidation.
