The Value of Extending VisibilityUsing nGenius Integrated Agent for Cisco ISR • Continuously monitor traffic destined for WAN • Localized packet capture for troubleshooting LAN without dispatching a technician • Enables more accurate response time analysis • Facilitates site-to-site monitoring in decentralized networks (MPLS, VRF aware) • Validates WAN optimized traffic • Unified, end-to-end views and reporting • Regain visibility to traffic going off net (cloud services) • Layer 2-7 visibility • Provides unified, pervasive and consistent visibility to the branch office and across the enterprise.

Branch site views Evidence retrieved from the alarm condition indicates poor response times for the “netscoute” application for the specific user at this branch office
Branch site-to-site data Key views for the remote branch office. Site-to-site traffic, application traffic, worst performing apps, and VoIP call details
Branch decode You can capture ad-hoc or event triggered data and filter down to the specific data you need, rather than bring everything across the WAN from your decode.
