Infrastructure Load Testing
Modeling
CipherEx modeling capabilities allow conclusive testing of what-if scenarios that enable intelligent risk-mitigating and cost-effective decision making. This will accelerate deployments and migration to new technologies, including VoIP, IPv6, and VPNs. Compliance and regulatory requirements, such as FISMA, Sarbanes-Oxley, HIPAA, PCI, and NIST, can be verified. By analyzing an up-to-date model of the production network, we can diagnose device configuration errors, security issues, policy violations, and inefficiencies. Our modeling and auditing capabilities help enterprises attain an in-depth understanding of the network that will ensure its maximum availability, security, and performance.
Benefits:
| • | Accelerate new service and technology deployments using predictive planning. |
| • | Optimize network performance through traffic engineering and the correct sizing of capacities. |
| • | Reduce the risk of downtime and misconfigurations. |
| • | Cost-effectively plan the network for new services and technologies, such as VoIP, MPLS, IPv6, and VPNs. |
| • | Predict network performance and the effects of changes to reduce risk and accelerate new deployments. |
| • | Optimize capacity, QoS, and reliability to maximize the use of existing network investments and to minimize the effects of failures. |
| • | Verify proposed designs and recommended changes. |
Stress Testing
CipherEx realistic stress-test capabilities allow simultaneous network verification and support for data, voice, and video services to emulate a complete user environment. The network can be tested for throughput and performance. When it becomes fully unutilized, a series of what-if failure scenarios can be tested and documented. The stress testing can define the network’s performance limitations, and it provides insight on how the network will perform during failure.
Our stress-test tools and capabilities provide these benefits:
| • | Quality of experience (QoE) testing |
| • | Voice-quality scores (MOS) |
| • | Application replay capabilities |
| • | Ramp-up, ramp-down user sessions |
| • | Malicious traffic generation |
| • | What-if failure scenarios testing |
| • | Verify sessions through firewall |
