NETSCOUT SYSTEMS, INC. has announced a new interface between NETSCOUT’s nGeniusONE service assurance solution and ServiceNow’s IT Operations Management (ITOM) Visibility and ITOM Health.

Users of ServiceNow ITOM can use any other alert with that context to launch queries into nGeniusONE. The display of certain alert situations to and from ServiceNow ITOM will be supported by nGeniusONE dashboards and reports.
“We are extremely pleased to bring our Smart Data into the ServiceNow platform to give customers enhanced visibility and service triage capabilities,”stated Paul Barrett, CTO, NETSCOUT.
He added, “We believe that NETSCOUT’s integration with ServiceNow increases the value and utility of the two solutions for our customers.”
