Application
and Network Performance Analysis
This has been my special focus for the
past 5 years and more. The smallest of businesses
are not likely to need this expertise, but what
I have learned about how networked applications
behave while supporting Global 100 companies
can benefit many mid-sized businesses.
Whether you are deploying a custom or
off-the-shelf enterprise application and are
experiencing less than optimal performance, I
can help you pinpoint the cause. And, if
you are still in the development phase, making
the necessary changes to your application now is
usually relatively painless and
can avoid a lot of time and cost later in the
development cycle.
I can help your organization collect and analyze
trace files to determine the root cause of
performance issues. This can often be done
remotely without the need to ever visit your
site, whether you are in the San Francisco Bay
Area or thousands of miles distant. Let me
demonstrate how you can save time and money with
remote performance analysis and get your
applications performing they way they should!
Additional application performance analysis
resources will be posted here in the near
future. For now, here are few points to
remember:
 Many
companies' networks actually have unused
capacity, and adding more bandwidth rarely
solves the problem. Latency is often the
major source of performance issues over WAN
links: what worked great on the LAN can slow to
the point of being unusable when clients are
geographically distant from the server.
Networks
rarely go "down" (although a WAN connection can
occasionally be lost due to temporary circuit
problems). Usually, application response times
slow to the point of impacting business and the
network team is tasked with trying to prove the
network is not the cause before any other team is even asked to
check into a problem. This can waste
valuable time and leave your application
end-users frustrated for too long. Assigning
blame doesn't advance the solution, so all teams need to pull together simultaneously
and believe what the tools show, regardless of
which area is indicated as being the probable root cause.
It is
possible to monitor every interface, on every
device, at every site in your network, every 60
seconds without consuming excessive bandwidth or
breaking your budget.
