As our network continues to expand across the State of
Nebraska, managing the Nebraska Education Network becomes more of a
challenge. Proactive monitoring, troubleshooting and capacity
planning is very important to us and we use the nGenius
Performance Manager and network probes from Netscout to accomplish
it.
