Netscout feeds real-time network performance and customer-centric data into IBM’s telecom analytics solutions

Netscout Systems Inc., a provider of service assurance, security, and business analytics, is collaborating with IBM. Under the agreement, IBM will leverage Netscout’s Smart Data Technologies which includes its Adaptive Service Intelligence (ASI) patented technology to drive data-centric workflows and decision making for Communication Service Providers (CSPs).

The collaboration centers on Netscout’s software-based InfiniStreamNG real-time information platform, which delivers visibility into both physical and virtual networks by instantaneously converting high-volume network traffic into granular yet highly contextual subscriber meta-data or Smart Data at the collection point. Mutual customers will benefit by feeding Netscout’s subscriber-centric Smart Data for voice, video, data and OTT services into IBM’s Telecom Analytics Solution.

Netscout’s Smart Data combined with IBM’s analytics capabilities provides the “always on” multi-dimensional subscriber meta-data, enabling CSPs better understand the behaviors and motivations of their customers through a data-driven, customer-centric business model and drive network change.

With this new integrated solution that utilises Netscout’s CORE to RAN network data view, CSPs gain better insight into customer needs, allowing them to innovate across core operational and service areas, including customer care, sales and marketing to ultimately reduce subscriber churn and strengthen and grow revenue.

The solution will also enable CSPs to create new business models around customer behavior modelling as well as participation in broader ecosystems that will drive CSPs overall value.

Communications service providers need smart, real-time performance data for smarter insights and smarter analytics. This partnership delivers it.”

“Communications Service Providers need to leverage vast volumes of information, so they can make more intelligent decisions and assure both exceptional customer experiences and network performance in today’s dynamic environment,” stated Gary O’Driscoll, worldwide lead, Telecom Analytics Solutions, at IBM.
