Internet True Simulation
Internet True Simulation simulates all of the factors that affects the performance of end-user and the system. NetStorm identifies where performance bottlenecks are likely to occur.
Production sized Load Generation
- Designed in a way to achieve the real world web for performance
- Ability to generate millions of VU from just 1 or 2 hardware blades.
- Higher Reliability and Simpler Test Setup (massively reduced systems size).
Real World End-User Behavior
- Real world transactions require advance scenario modeling:
- User arrivals rate modeling & Production Logs Replay need instant user generation with minimal memory use
- User behavior simulation technique for production alike internet users
- Real Web user community simulation
- Hitting Browser Refresh button on slow download (avalanche cascading of hits)
- Click-Away’s on slow response (Premature session closure by end-users)
- Real Location Based IP Address
- Server behavior based on User IP: Fraud detection, User location based content
Automatic True Browser Modeling
- Performance Characteristics Simulation: (IE, Chrome, Firefox, M-Opera…)
- Not just user-agent string!
- Unclosed Browser sessions
- Number of multiple Parallel TCP connections opened
- SSL Cryptography
- Simulation of Performance Impact:
- End-user response time
- Actual server load & true Capacity Estimates
- Comprehensive production fault identification
Communication Methods Simulation
- End-user Network connection : (e.g. fiber, cable, DSL, dial-up, Wi-Fi, cellular)
- Modem connection behavior
- Modem compression/decompression (e.g. V.42)
- Multiple parallel TCP connections to servers sharing modem bandwidth
Internet Simulation
- Geographically Distributed Web Users (New York, Chicago, and so on)
- WAN Complex behavior simulation
- Network packet loss/re-ordering/latency/jitter
- Web transaction arrival patterns (Self-similar random distribution)
Edge Cache Simulation
- Edge/Network cache (e.g., Akamai)
- Network packet loss/re-ordering/latency/jitter
- Significant impact on web user response time and origin server capacity
Key Capabilities
- Truthful tests reflecting production reality and never seen before realism!
- Massive, internet scale load generation (1000x of the competition)
- Real-life like user and traffic generation
- Internet based user simulation (e.g., Geo distributed 3G/4G/DSL users)
- Load modelling (user arrival rate modelling)
- Production scenario reconstruction via production Log Replay
- Web user behaviour simulation (e.g., page reloads and Click-Away’s by users)
- Real browser simulation
- Powerful what-if scenario simulation for production readiness
