According to Gartner, NPMD, a subset of the overall network performance monitoring market, has emerged as a unique market designed to address these very needs in today's increasingly complex environments. NPMD tools provide this required breadth and depth of visibility in both real-time and historical perspectives by uniquely analyzing data from SNMP polling, flow-based technology and packet-based technology. At an estimated $1.1 billion, the NPMD market is a fast-growing segment of the larger network management space ($1.9 billion in 2013), and overlaps slightly with aspects of the application performance monitoring (APM (News - Alert)) space ($2.4 billion in 2013). SteelCentral performance management solutions are part of the Riverbed Application Performance Platform™, which gives CIOs unparalleled visibility to deliver, control, and optimize all IT resources across the hybrid enterprise.
