Independent Networks and Virtual Service Delivery

Test and Reduce the Risks of Virtualization Initiatives

Studies show that most organizations have adopted some level of virtualization in their datacenters, including server, storage and OS virtualization. The benefits are real, lower overall costs, improved utilization rates and greater resiliency.

But studies also show that virtualized network resources create critical blind spots for traditional management tools. When performance problems crop up in virtualized environments, it’s very difficult for network teams to find and address them. With their existing tools, IT managers can’t see into the virtual infrastructure, nor can they get a good handle on the dynamic movement of applications and data that goes on in virtual realms. So when it comes to performance with virtual resources, the IT teamneeds clarity.

Our next-generation network testing and performance management tools let you easily manage virtual environments. Our test provide complete visibility up to the virtual TCP/IP stack and tracks application performance across virtual machines. This means if there is a problem, the tools can quickly tell you where in the end-to-end network path it is occurring, even if the hop is within a virtual machine. And, if the application moves to a different VM, we can then track the path automatically and tell you what’s causing the problem, and make specific, actionable remediation suggestions.
