Application/Server/Network Diagnostics |
Performance tests cannot be run in production - it is not feasible to run a 10,000 user test in production to determine why the application scaled in the test environment, but not when it went live.
RTTS provides post-deployment testing services that assist you with pinpointing production issues in production - through the implementation of server, network and application diagnostic tools.
This service pinpoints the source of poor performance - ending the finger pointing between network, database and application development teams.

Server and Database Diagnostics |
RTTS can increase application availability
and reduce response times by monitoring
applications, servers and databases and
identify problems before they impact
critical business processes.
Resolving problems and avoiding new ones
is accomplished through:
• Proactive monitoring of the highest CPU or
memory intensive users, performing log file
analysis and error checking, analyzing SQL
statistics, checking process availability,
tracking average download time and verifying
URL connectivity
• Understanding the architecture as a whole
and each individual technical component
• Extensive data collection and
troubleshooting
• Automatic corrective action
• Comprehensive web-based reporting
• Custom view of production environment
• Performance management for .NET
application

Network Diagnostics |
Network
performance directly impacts application
performance, but it's difficult to pinpoint
how the network affects an individual
application. It's equally difficult to
determine how applications impact overall
network performance. Yet, network managers
need this information to identify the root
cause of sluggish response times.
Network managers need help to:
•
Minimize the occurrence of network
performance problems
•
Quickly resolve performance problems that do
occur
•
Plan to avoid future problems
•
Ensure the network is being used for
intended purposes
•
Performance management for .NET applications
RTTS assists with performance triage by
utilizing tools that automatically discover
thousands of applications, tracking their
flow through the WAN/LAN infrastructure, and
collecting detailed performance metrics
about network traffic, applications,
latency, and response times.
RTTS' monitoring services provide network
professionals with:
•
a passive network performance monitoring
tool for 24x7 monitoring, which delivers
enterprise-wide metrics on application
performance and network resource consumption
without intruding on the network.
•
a tool for the discovery of all applications
utilized.
•
performance alerts that profile poorly
performing applications and drill down into
• performance characteristics of the affected
network, server and clients.
•
advanced troubleshooting capabilities that
provide valuable details about network
traffic for business-critical applications,
identifying potential problems by
distinguishing between bandwidth contention,
latency and client or server response time
problems.
•
the ability to validate the service
provider's data, see which applications are
using excessive bandwidth, identify
applications that should not be using the
WAN, and determine if the WAN link is sized
correctly.
•
the ability to determine production
readiness by providing a basis on which to
assess the impact of the application on
network performance, as well as the ability
of the network to support production loads
without constraining other applications.
•
network security breach analysis, which
tracks the use of your corporate network and
alerts on unauthorized application traffic.

Diagnostics |
RTTS can help
identify and resolve application performance
problems in production. By utilizing
best-of-breed tools and by providing a
detailed troubleshooting analysis, we can
pinpoint the causes of poor end-user
response times for mission-critical
applications to the client, the network, a
server or the application itself.
We can assist you with answering the
following questions:
•
What is causing poor performance? Is the
desktop, network, server or application
causing the slowdown?
•
What changes will provide the most
improvement to response times-more
bandwidth, tuning the application or more
CPU power?
•
Which application functions or database
queries are causing performance problems?
•
What is the root cause of network-induced
delays-congestion, errors, bandwidth or
latency?
