Bringing Customer Experience And Business Channel Development Together With IT
May 24, 2011 08:31 AM
As one of the largest hospitality companies in the world, Marriott has over 3,500 lodging properties in the U.S. and 69 other countries and territories, and a daily workload of over 750,000 new reservations. Transaction throughput must be rapid, unfailing and 24/7. If problems arise, failover must be swift and absolute. Simultaneously, business intelligence systems must be able to "right fit" pricing and accommodations for customers during transactions--and the systems must have the ability to extend the "reach" of Marriott's reservation community from the company-hosted Website and systems to the Websites and systems of worldwide channel partners that sell Marriott reservations along with other services.New Relic Delivers 'Real User Monitoring' In APM Tool
May 19, 2011 11:30 AM
New Relic, a provider of application performance monitoring (APM) tools, has added a free new feature that delivers real user monitoring to clock the time from when a Web page is requested to when it finishes loading in the browser. The APM tracks multiple metrics, including network speed, the performance of the application server, defects in the code and the performance of various browsers to determine where bottlenecks may occur.Compuware Introduces New APM Tools For Mobile, Web And Enterprise Apps
May 17, 2011 08:14 AM
Application performance management tools vendor Compuware introduced a suite of new products for monitoring the performance of applications, particularly those delivered increasingly to mobile devices. The company also announced that it will be integrating its tools with Google Page Speed, a free, open source tool for improving application speeds, and it would be rebranding its legacy Vantage products as Gomez, referring to a line of tools it gained in the acquisition of Gomez Inc. in the fall of 2009.Ixia Launches Network Testing Tool For Enterprises
May 12, 2011 10:30 AM
Ixia, a company that provides testing tools for network equipment vendors, has just introduced the IxNetwork v6.00 test application, which includes a new, intuitive graphical user interface (GUI), productivity tools, and automated test suites. The company said it is expanding from network equipment makers to directly serve enterprise data centers and service providers, such as wireless phone carriers, which have an increasing need to test their networks before putting them into production. Ixia demonstrated IxNetwork v 6.0o at the Interop IT Conference and Expo 2011 being held this week in Las Vegas.Blue Coat Tackles Public Cloud WAN Optimization
May 11, 2011 10:00 AM
Blue Coat Systems, a leader in the WAN optimization controller (WOC) market, is spreading its wings at Interop with an advanced asymmetric acceleration technology for its MACH5 WAN Optimization and Virtual Appliances. The company says that its CloudCaching Engine breaks the barrier that prevents traditional WAN optimization solutions--which are designed to accelerate file and email traffic using a symmetric deployment of physical or virtual appliances in the branch office and data center--from optimizing most applications based in the public cloud.Riverbed Boosts Cloud Application Optimization With VMware
May 02, 2011 12:08 PM
Riverbed is extending the cloud computing services and thin client software supported by its Steelhead WAN optimization product line. The cloud version of Steelhead now includes support for providers that use VMware's ESX-based environment in addition to Amazon's Citrix-based services, while the standard version now supports thin clients (or desktop virtualization) with the Windows Aero user interface.BufferBloat And The Collapse Of The Internet
April 21, 2011 07:00 AM
It seems that every few years there's yet another prognosticator that the Internet is about to collapse. Once it was the stellar growth in bandwidth demand driven by the phenomenal increase in Internet-connected devices. At other times, it was the lack of Net neutrality (see this video). Still other times, it was sinister attacks on BGP or the fact that we've run out of IPv4 addresses.Welcome To The WAN Optimization Shell Game
April 11, 2011 09:30 AM
In the early days of Ethernet switch vendors, IT organizations would routinely hear vendors profess to deliver better line rate performance at 20 percent less than the market leader. The catch, because there was always a catch in this industry, was that performance was only achievable in specific circumstances. Turn on port monitoring or enable encryption and Ethernet switch performance would skid to a halt. A similar story may be brewing in the WAN optimization space. While vendors, such as Blue Coat, Riverbed, and Silverpeak, rush to tell us about how they can achieve incredible performance improvement, turning an OC-3 into an OC-12, other limiting factors may prevent end users from actually seeing those numbers.Internap Takes Accelerated IP Internet Traffic Accelerator Service Global
April 08, 2011 01:00 PM
A year ago, Internap Network Services announced its Accelerated IP Internet traffic accelerator service (XIP), which the company claimed could improve performance of enterprise Web applications by up to 400 percent by eliminating some of the belt-and-suspenders reliability protection provided by TCP. The company is now announcing that the service is available worldwide, after having been tested in several cities during the past year.The Importance Of Correcting Packet Loss In VDI
March 30, 2011 11:13 AM
Recently, on the LinkedIN WAN optimization professionals group, I participated in a conversation around whether virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) is ready for the WAN. Face it, delivering responsive VDI over the WAN is going to be a challenge. One of the interesting points that came up was the importance of correcting for packet loss when considering WAN optimizers.1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | Next Page »
