MILPITAS, Calif., Feb. 27, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Viavi Solutions (NASDAQ: VIAV) has been named a Leader in the
Gartner ® Magic Quadrant for Network Performance Monitoring and Diagnostics (NPMD) for the fourth year in
a row.1 In the Gartner, Inc. report, Viavi is again recognized as a leader in its category based on the company's
ability to execute and completeness of vision.2
The Gartner Magic Quadrant is considered one of the industry's most influential evaluations of enterprise network solutions.
Viavi is pleased to provide a complimentary copy of this report: www.viavisolutions.com/npmd-mq.
"Viavi is honored to be positioned as a Leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for NPMD for the fourth year in a row," said
Douglas Roberts, Vice President and General Manager, Enterprise & Cloud Business Unit, Viavi
Solutions. "We believe this recognition substantiates our unique approach to network performance management. Business leaders and
IT teams, including network operations, require complete visibility, in-depth analysis and end-to-end insight to address the
challenges created by today's hybrid IT environment. Viavi has a history of delivering comprehensive performance monitoring and
diagnostics solutions based on wire data for multiple IT stakeholders."
According to a recent Gartner report "Use Data- and Analytics-Centric Processes With a Focus on Wire Data to Future-Proof
Availability and Performance Management," Gartner indicates the importance of wire data will continue to increase in most
organizations over the next several years: "While log data will certainly have a role in future monitoring and analytics, it is
wire data — radically rethought and used in new ways — that will prove to be the most critical source of data for availability
and performance management over the next five years."3
The Observer Performance Management
Platform from Viavi is a comprehensive NPMD solution and includes Observer Apex, Observer GigaStor, Observer Analyzer and
Observer SightOps. With the ability to capture, analyze, and retain all wire data, the Observer Platform addresses the visibility
challenges of monitoring and troubleshooting across hybrid physical, virtual, private and public cloud environments. Independent
of network speed, architecture, or technology deployed in the data center, Viavi employs a heterogeneous approach to
instrumentation and visibility to help ensure that application troubleshooting and threat intelligence data are always
available.
Network outages negatively affect revenue, productivity and brand reputation, and are increasingly impactful as organizations
implement digital business initiatives, according to the Gartner report "How to Reduce Network Downtime in the Era of Digital
Business": "After an outage, NPMD tools can help identify the impact of the incident by specifying which users and applications
were affected. Many NPMD solutions also store forensic evidence that can be examined retrospectively to understand the outage
cause(s)."4
