Tarrytown, N.Y. and Milpitas, Calif., April 19, 2016 – Managing disparate systems is a major pain point for more than 80 percent of enterprises using a hybrid IT strategy. To help companies overcome this challenge, Westcon-Comstor, the value-added technology distributor of category-leading solutions in Security, Collaboration, Networking and Data Center, has added the VIAVI Observer Platform to its Unified Communications and Collaboration (UCC) portfolio. The platform is a full-service IT solution for optimizing application and network performance management.

“The key differentiator for the VIAVI Observer Platform is that it is the highest performing and most scalable packet capture solution in the industry,” said Sergio Bea, vice president, Worldwide Channels at VIAVI. “Observer has been named as a leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for network performance monitoring and diagnostics for three years in a row. Our partnership with Westcon-Comstor will help us take this technology even further by broadening our footprint in the channel through its established solution provider network.”

“The global unified communications market is projected to reach $75.8 billion by 2020.
