iTrinegy's Network Emulation for Windows (INE) Tests Application Resilience for Greater London Authority
CAMBRIDGE, England and RENO, Nevada, May 3, 2012/PRNewswire/ --
'Network emulation software meets criteria for network performance testing'
iTrinegy's INE for Windows, network emulation software is being utilized by the
Greater London Authority (GLA) to guarantee performance resilience for their applications.
The GLA [http://www.london.gov.uk ] is a unique organisation that has a strategic
citywide focus. With a need to be accessible to millions of Londoners, achieving good
application performance levels is given high priority. To achieve this goal, the IT
department has rigorous policies to conduct performance tests on all their web-based
applications, as well as those running on other network systems/applications (Legacy
Client/Server, Citrix, and VoIP etc.).
Brian Arnold, a specialist Systems Integration Engineer for the GLA wanted to make
sure that all their applications would work wherever necessary. "These applications needed
to work in a variety of different network environments (WAN, Wi-Fi, 3G, etc). To
understand the impact on our end users, we made the decision that we that needed to test
our applications and systems in controlled and repeatable replications of these
environments."
The GLA chose iTrinegy's INE for Windows
[http://www.itrinegy.com/index.php/products/network-emulators/ine-for-windows ] as it's a
simple-to-use network emulator
[http://www.itrinegy.com/index.php/products/network-emulators/ine-for-windows ] that
installs onto a Windows XP/Vista/7 or Windows Server system and allow some or all of the
applications running on a Windows system to "experience" realistic external network
conditions (WLAN, WAN, Satellite etc.) when accessing the Local Area Network (LAN).
Parameters that can be set include bandwidth, loss, latency/delay and jitter as well as
the creation of asymmetric links.
Having previously measured and profiled the GLA's existing network, Brian used INE for
Windows to replicate the network characteristics - restricted bandwidth, delay, loss etc-
of the network. This enabled Brian to replicate the different network environment profiles
for end-user experience and performance testing. Brian "Having started by investigating
the performance of one our core applications, a contact directory, across the internal
Wi-Fi (a 802.11n network accessible throughout City Hall for Hot-Desking and meeting room
use by mobile devices) I was able to see how the application was performing."
"It is great to see that organisations such as the GLA are focusing heavily on the
end-user experience," said Phil Bull, Marketing Manager for iTrinegy." As more
applications are placed out in a host of different networks, awareness of how business
applications are performing and impacting end-users will help the GLA to deliver a first
class service and customer experience."
Brian comments: "After only one involvement I am confident in the use of INE for
Windows and will utilise it when required in future testing engagements. It has become a
valuable part of my testing toolkit and I am very happy with my decision to choose it for
my Network Emulation requirements."
In summary "I have found INE for Windows to be easy to install, configure, and use,
delivering Network Emulation in a straightforward and discreet manner," said Brian.
