NetScout

The first generation of the packet capture platform, deployed in 2009 and run for thirteen years before the Viavi refresh.

Product lines and other names: GigaStor

Left to right is time. Each row is one of the 4 disciplines NetScout carried, ordered so kindred disciplines sit next to each other rather than alphabetically — a landscape only means anything if neighboring rows belong together. Height is the work running in that domain in that year, weighted by what failure would have cost — life-safety ×3, a statutory obligation ×2.2, the estate itself ×1.5, an evaluation ×1. Every project declares which of those it was, so each ridge traces to an entry you can open and disagree with. Only the work that named this manufacturer is counted, so this is the shape of what it carried rather than of the record around it. Height and color are on the record-wide scale rather than this page’s own, so a modest estate draws a modest landscape and any two of these pages can be read against each other.

GigaStor probes on the critical path of the enterprise network, serving security forensics, troubleshooting driven to root cause, and routine validation that the estate behaved the way the design said it should.

Where it appears

Declared on each entry rather than listed here, so this page cannot drift from the work it describes. What each entry named is quoted as it stands, with how much of that project rested on it and what stands behind the claim beside it. The first of those drives the height of the surface above.
