BreakingPoint Publishes Server Load Resiliency Methodology
BreakingPoint Server Load Resiliency Methodology Measures and Optimizes the Performance and Stability of Servers, Data Centers and Cloud Infrastructures
AUSTIN, Texas — June 10, 2010 — BreakingPoint today released the BreakingPoint Server Load Resiliency Methodology, a step-by-step guide that provides a standardized, repeatable and scientific approach to hardening servers and data center infrastructures to be resilient against attack and high-stress application load. Organizations use the BreakingPoint Server Load Resiliency Methodology in coordination with the BreakingPoint Storm CTM™ to stress and score the resiliency of servers and data centers, using their own custom blend of current and global high-stress traffic.
Understanding how resilient your data center or cloud infrastructure is to high-stress traffic and cyber attack requires the ability to simulate user behavior and load at incredibly high-performance and throughput levels. Software-based server load testing, developed more than a decade ago, no longer meets today’s data center requirements. The BreakingPoint Server Resiliency Methodology and the BreakingPoint Storm CTM provide the roadmap and the massively scalable solution to replace homegrown in-house options that fail to identify the hidden stress fractures that degrade performance and lead to security breaches.
Using the BreakingPoint Storm CTM in combination with this methodology, you can:
- Know with certainty how applications and business services will weather hostile conditions and scale to handle peak user load
- Stress and measure server performance using your own traffic and conditions to ensure you get the best return on IT investments
- Gain visibility into never-before-seen areas of your servers and data centers, probing every weakness and vulnerability
- Cut through marketplace hype and service level assurances for the confidence to safely deploy, upgrade and maintain critical network infrastructures
- Reduce the costs and maintenance associated with homegrown performance test labs
Will your data center survive cyber attack and peak application load?
The BreakingPoint Server Resiliency Methodology provides a guideline for measuring server and data center resiliency in the face of real blended application traffic and security attacks with load from millions of users. With the ability to simulate these real-world hostile conditions using BreakingPoint products, you can pinpoint hidden stress fractures and calculate a defensible resiliency score for the certainty you need to mitigate IT risks and drastically reduce costs.
About BreakingPoint Storm CTM
The BreakingPoint Storm CTM ends the guesswork associated with network testing and offers true measurement of the performance, security and stability of network infrastructure. Cyber Tomography provides a scientific method of identifying the weaknesses and vulnerabilities of a component by measuring its resiliency under perilous situations from high-stress traffic load to cyber attack.
About BreakingPoint
BreakingPoint pioneered the first and only Cyber Tomography Machine to expose previously impossible-to-detect stress fractures within cyber infrastructure components before they are exploited to compromise customer data, corporate assets, brand reputation and even national security. BreakingPoint is the standard by which the world’s governments, enterprises and service providers determine the resiliency and security of their network infrastructure.
