关于客户
这家美国公司生产专业设备和应用程序，供众多垂直行业的企业使用。他们的员工被划分为特定部门的实践领域，这使公司能够将其服务交付范围扩大到 100 多个国家。全球约有 10,000 名员工专注于开发和支持 250,000 个客户使用的产品。在过去十年中，信息技术运营 (IT 运营) 团队依靠 NETSCOUT 技术并签约优质服务工程 (PSE) 来确保业务连续性和高质量的最终用户体验。在此期间，PSE 资源帮助 IT 运营最大限度地提高了其 NETSCOUT 投资所提供的效率，包括服务保证分析（即 nGeniusONE、nGeniusPULSE 和 nGenius for Flows）和智能边缘可视性（即 InfiniStreamNG、vSTREAM、nGenius NetFlow Collector、nGenius Packet Flow Switch 和 nGeniusPULSE nPoint 硬件和虚拟传感器）解决方案。
挑战
疫情的到来标志着公司客户端、网络、数据中心和云服务边缘环境的复杂性开始增加。在 COVID-19 出现后不久，公司扩展了虚拟专用网络 (VPN) 服务以支持数千名员工转入居家办公 (WFH) 环境，IT 运营部门与其 NETSCOUT PSE 资源商讨如何最大限度地利用 nGeniusONE 和 nGeniusPULSE，以便更好地为调查和解决决策提供信息。这一努力很快促使 IT 运营部门使用 VPN 拆分隧道来简化 WFH 用户通过互联网直接访问 UC&C 服务的过程。长期来看，IT 运营部门的补救方法包括在 Amazon Web Services (AWS) 云资源中建立近 20 个 VPN 接入点和 Palo Alto Network (PAN) 防火墙服务。这种方法似乎可以快速安全地解决他们的远程网络带宽问题，但也暴露了 IT 运营部门在 AWS 中可视化 VPN 和防火墙服务的性能方面存在差距。在 AWS 环境中，这些网络服务边缘的性能对于 WFH 员工的成功至关重要。由于只有 NetFlow 和 MIB2 数据可用，IT 运营部门很难理解不同、孤立的数据源之间的差异。此外，由于从广域网 (WAN) 到 AWS 的流量存在盲点，IT 运营部门无法了解一个远程站点的性能。
解决方案
IT 运营部门通过与 PSE 资源协作制定了一套协调一致的方法来弥补盲点，从而制定了 AWS 云可视性设计，使公司能够重构一些早期部署的 NETSCOUT 投资，并快速添加所需的数据源，以提供一直缺乏的端到端可视性。在提高 AWS 的可视性方面，设计计划包括：设计 vSTREAM 虚拟设备以监控在云中运行的 VPN 和 PAN 防火墙服务。将 nGenius 流量收集器重构为虚拟流量收集器，以便在云中部署。在 IT 运营部门遇到从其 WAN 到 AWS 的流量盲点的区域设施部署远程 ISNG 设备技术。将选定的 nGeniusONE 服务器实例迁移到 AWS 云，这样 IT 运营部门就可以利用基于从 vSTREAM 和 nGenius Collector 数据源实时生成的 NETSCOUT 智能数据的 nGeniusONE 服务仪表板和服务监控器视图来完善其 AWS 监控功能。

Smart Water Filtration Systems
Before working with Ayla Networks, Ozner was already using cloud connectivity to identify and solve water-filtration system malfunctions as well as to monitor filter cartridges for replacements.But, in June 2015, Ozner executives talked with Ayla about how the company might further improve its water systems with IoT technology. They liked what they heard from Ayla, but the executives needed to be sure that Ayla’s Agile IoT Platform provided the security and reliability Ozner required.

Predictive Maintenance for Industrial Chillers
For global leaders in the industrial chiller manufacturing, reliability of the entire production process is of the utmost importance. Chillers are refrigeration systems that produce ice water to provide cooling for a process or industrial application. One of those leaders sought a way to respond to asset performance issues, even before they occur. The intelligence to guarantee maximum reliability of cooling devices is embedded (pre-alarming). A pre-alarming phase means that the cooling device still works, but symptoms may appear, telling manufacturers that a failure is likely to occur in the near future. Chillers who are not internet connected at that moment, provide little insight in this pre-alarming phase.
