Ensure High-Performing Applications and Secure Networks

Networks continue to converge with voice, video and data all being used on a single network infrastructure using different technologies, including physical and virtualized devices. The failure or degradation of your applications working on this combined infrastructure can result in significant cost or reduced revenue, lost customers or negative publicity.

Risk Associated with Adding New Application

• How will the appkication perform on the network?
• How will it affect existing network traffic and the performance of existing applications?
• Is my current infrastructure capable of handling new application?

Performance Testing Reduces Risk of Deploying New Technology

Load testing allows you to run realistic and "worst-case" testing scenarios in a controlled way, so you know how the application will perform under both normal and anticipated peak load conditions. By simulating the traffic on the production enviroment at high load you will understand how the current configuration will stand up to real-time user stress. This allows the system or devices to be modified, pre-deployment and updated to appropriately meet the needs of end users. Stress and load testing products focus on the network or application perfomance and may need to be integrated with other test tools such as WAN Emulators or Application Analyzers.

Benefits of Network Performance Testing

• Recognize network problems before your customers do.
• Keep your devolpment projects on time.
• Test your development projects and then monitoring your systems for errors.
• Verify system meets sepcification claimed by the manufacturer.
• By optimizing the production enviroment before rollout, you end up with higher user uptake.
• Smoother rollout for the end user.
• Increased adoption rates of the new application.

Load Testing Tools

Telnet Networks' line of verification tools allows you to maximize network performance and minimize the risk associated with deploying a new service.

Candela LANforge Fire-Stateful Network Traffic Generator

LANforge FIRE network traffic generator is used to create load on a network under test. It reports statistics such as packets sent and received, latency, packet-loss and many other network characteristics. LANforge supports real protocols and stateful TCP connections, so it can gerate load against web servers, VoIP gateways, firewalls, load-balancers and many other network components. Candela LANforge WiFIRE offers a wide range of support for testing various WiFi networks and devices.
