Milpitas, Calif., February 17, 2016 – VIAVI Solutions has been positioned as a Leader in the new Gartner® Magic Quadrant for Network Performance Monitoring and Diagnostics (NPMD) for the third consecutive year*.1 In the Gartner, Inc. report, VIAVI is recognized as a network performance management leader in its category for completeness of vision and ability to execute.

According to the report, “NPMD solutions play a key role in helping IT ops support increasingly complex technologies and services with network visibility, detection of performance issues and root cause analysis. This market is a fast-growing segment of the larger network management space.

We’ve made that our mission at VIAVI, and believe that our positioning as a Leader is validation that we are succeeding."
