关于客户
客户是一家历史悠久的美国大学，以致力于广泛的学术课程以及体育、文化、慈善和研究活动而闻名。该大学有 10,000 多名本科生和研究生，850 名教职员工提供近 50 个学科领域的教育。该大学严重依赖其网络提供许多面向学生和教授的服务。他们的网站和招生门户是大学面向新生和准学生的公开面孔。被录取的学生使用网络上的关键应用程序来注册课程、支付学费和费用以及提交课堂作业。教授们希望在学期末审查论文和考试、发布分数并完成学生评分，他们没有时间忍受网络变慢或不可用。学生社交媒体上关于校园网络性能不佳的恶搞可能迅速而尖刻，因此保持高质量的体验是重中之重。
挑战
该大学正在进行数据中心转型，包括虚拟化和高速连接。但是，他们传统的网络性能监控 (NPM) 工具无法胜任支持这一战略计划的任务。由于使用以 NetFlow 为中心的数据源，NPM 工具的可视性有限，由于数据和语音监控工具之间缺乏集成，协作几乎不可能实现。此外，据报道，故障排除过程繁琐而缓慢，从而延迟了对应用程序和网络性能问题的解决。由于该大学的数据中心转型包括 VMware ESX 虚拟机管理程序基础设施、Cisco® 应用程序中心基础设施 (ACI) 软件定义网络 (SDN) 和基于云的 Microsoft Office 365 服务的计划，因此需要一种新的 NPM 工具来支持这些 IT 转型活动，同时满足公司的预算指导方针。
解决方案
该大学选择采用 NETSCOUT® 解决方案，该解决方案为 IT 提供有效部署和主动监控下一代 SDN、虚拟和云环境所需的智能可视性。NETSCOUT nGeniusONE 服务保证平台提供单一管理平台，用于查看数据、语音和视频服务交付性能，并主动管理大学用户体验的可用性、性能和质量。实时 nGeniusONE 信息平台利用 NETSCOUT 智能数据作为通用数据源，为整个大学的虚拟化和混合云环境提供更智能的端到端可视性分析。数据中心环境中部署了采用 NETSCOUT 专利 Adaptive Service Intelligence™ (ASI) 技术的 InfiniStreamNG (ISNG) 硬件设备，将大学的数据包流量转换为智能数据。部署 vSTREAM 虚拟设备是为了满足 VMware ESX 平台监控需求，通过监控数据中心虚拟化环境中的东西向流量。

IoT platform Enables Safety Solutions for U.S. School Districts
Designed to alert drivers when schoolchildren are present, especially in low-visibility conditions, school-zone flasher signals are typically updated manually at each school. The switching is based on the school calendar and manually changed when an unexpected early dismissal occurs, as in the case of a weather-event altering the normal schedule. The process to reprogram the flashers requires a significant effort by school district personnel to implement due to the large number of warning flashers installed across an entire school district.

Revolutionizing Medical Training in India: GSL Smart Lab and the LAP Mentor
The GSL SMART Lab, a collective effort of the GSL College of Medicine and the GSL College of Nursing and Health Science, was facing a challenge in providing superior training to healthcare professionals. As clinical medicine was becoming more focused on patient safety and quality of care, the need for medical simulation to bridge the educational gap between the classroom and the clinical environment was becoming increasingly apparent. Dr. Sandeep Ganni, the director of the GSL SMART Lab, envisioned a world-class surgical and medical training center where physicians and healthcare professionals could learn skills through simulation training. He was looking for different simulators for different specialties to provide both basic and advanced simulation training. For laparoscopic surgery, he was interested in a high fidelity simulator that could provide basic surgical and suturing skills training for international accreditation as well as specific hands-on training in complex laparoscopic procedures for practicing physicians in India.

Implementing Robotic Surgery Training Simulator for Enhanced Surgical Proficiency
Fundacio Puigvert, a leading European medical center specializing in Urology, Nephrology, and Andrology, faced a significant challenge in training its surgical residents. The institution recognized the need for a more standardized and comprehensive training curriculum, particularly in the area of robotic surgery. The challenge was underscored by two independent studies showing that less than 5% of residents in Italian and German residency programs could perform major or complex procedures by the end of their residency. The institution sought to establish a virtual reality simulation lab that would include endourological, laparoscopic, and robotic platforms. However, they needed a simulator that could replicate both the hardware and software of the robotic Da Vinci console used in the operating room, without being connected to the actual physical console. They also required a system that could provide both basic and advanced simulation training, and a metrics system to assess the proficiency of the trainees before they performed surgical procedures in the operating theater.

Edinburgh Napier University streamlines long-distance learning with Cisco WebEX
• Geographically dispersed campus made in-person meetings costly and inconvenient.• Distance-learning programs in Malaysia, India, and China required dependable, user-friendly online tools to maximize interaction in collaborative workspaces.• Virtual learning environment required a separate sign-in process, resulting in a significant administrative burden for IT staff and limited adoption of collaboration technology.

8x increased productivity with VKS
Before VKS, a teacher would spend a lot of time showing a group of 22 students how to build a set of stairs within a semester of 120 hours. Along with not leaving the teacher much time to provide one-on-one support for each student to properly learn carpentry, it also left a considerable amount of room for error. Key information would be misinterpreted or lost as the class was taught in the typical show-and-tell way.

Scalable IoT Empowering GreenFlex's Sustainable Growth
GreenFlex, a company that supports sustainable development, decarbonization, and energy efficiency, faced several challenges in its quest to expand its business. The company needed to deploy a robust and sustainable IoT technology to support its growth. It was crucial for them to monitor and control devices at customer sites in a safe and reliable manner. They also needed to integrate devices across a range of communication protocols and gather and act on data to meet efficiency targets. GreenFlex had previously built IoT capabilities into its digital platform, GreenFlexIQ, to monitor and manage customer sites remotely. However, they soon realized that they needed a new platform to support their ambitions. They needed a platform that could scale to connect more devices for production management and make it easier for the operations team to manage devices in the field.
