iTrinegy'ss Network Emulators Help Reduce Costs for Customer Pre-Deployment Application Testing in the WAN
itrinegy Network Emulators assist companies such as Thomson Reuters in testing the behavior of networked applications prior to deployment
Cambridge, UK and Reno, NV September 2 2009 -- iTrinegy, the Networked Application Performance Lifecycle's8482; experts, is enabling companies to cut costs by emulating the pre-deployment of networked application testing in the WAN.
iTrinegy, in discussion with their clients, has found that the cost of having to go back and re-test can be high for organisations and so pre-deployment testing in controlled and
repeatable conditions is essential for companies that need to see exactly how applications will perform in a real live networked environment, such as WAN, MPLS, Wireless, Satellite or
Radio Networks.
Frank Puranik, Head of Development for iTrinegy 'sFor many of our clients there is a BIG advantage in conducting pre-deployment testing of all the variable (network conditions) that can
affect the behavior of an application out in the WAN such as packet loss, jitter, latency as network emulation allows testers and developers to see how network characteristics adversely
effect an application when it is placed in a production network. Understanding the problems that can occur provides the ability to make important changes prior to roll-out, decisions
which will have a direct impact on your return on investment (ROI) as without prior knowledge mistakes are costly.
David Forret, is a Lead Systems Engineer in the UK, for Thomson Reuters, and oversees one of their test and development divisions. As part of the test he looked at network emulation tools
to test the behavior of applications in various network conditions before deployment. There is a phenomenal amount of data travelling over our networks- around two-hundred and fifty
thousand updates per second, so the testing of external network issues such as dropped packets, delays, bandwidth utilization and latency issues are being carried out at all times.'s
David continues 'sOur testers, developers and system engineers are actively improving our software through rigorous and extensive testing. Being proactive is more important than being
reactive. By pushing applications and communications to the point of failure we can effectively guarantee the applications once they go live in the normal production environment's.
David concludes 'siTrinegy'ss solutions give us the ability to set up consistent and controllable application test conditions, and through this there is an added advantage of being able
to keep the costs down by increasing the testing of the applications without increasing the costs associated with using a real MPLS network. Data has to get there yesterday - the moment
it leaves the exchange it'ss visible within Thomson Reuters in less than 1.5 seconds.In that time, it is shipped, time stamped, converted and processed. With speeds like this, testing
continues to be an essential part of our overall development and network/application testing's.
