With a trend towards server consolidation, virtualisation, cloud computing, increased remote working and greater reliance on wireless technology, more applications are expected to work and perform well over Wide Area Networks (WANs), Wireless LANs, Mobile (3G/GPRS/LTE) or Satellite networks.
The problem is that a lot of software design, development and testing is still frequently only conducted over fast & reliable Local Area Networks (LANs). Satisfactory application performance in these conditions is no guarantee of acceptable performance in non-LAN networks.
In this presentation, Frank Puranik explains how different network characteristics influence application behaviour, how you can create realistic test network environments in which to test applications prior to deploying them and how you can benchmark the effect of technologies that can be used to ?accelerate? poor performing applications.
