MCS v9 Network Module options:

• MySpeed^® bandwidth throughput and connection quality measurement.

• MyRoute network route testing for latency, packet loss, peering point identification and geo-location analysis.

• MyVoIP VoIP pre-qualification and network assessment testing, measures UDP jitter and packet loss, supports standard and custom CODECs.

• MyVideo streaming video quality testing to measure jitter impact from TCP data recovery events.

• MyIPTV TV-over-IP and videoconferencing quality testing, measures UDP jitter and packet loss, supports standard and custom CODECs.

• MyFirewall - test client connections for access to application ports to determine if firewall policies are restricting application services.

• MyCapacity UDP speed test, max throughput analysis without inherent TCP window limitations for pre-qualification, network provisioning, benchmarking and capacity testing.

• MyHiSpeed - test high bandwidth fiber connections from 100Mbps to gigabit speeds over latencies up to 60 milliseconds (requires MySpeed module).

• MCS Monitor - continuously monitor critical network services such as HTTP, FTP, DNS, SNMP, SIP and port availability, monitor critical devices/systems for response time and availability.

Concurrent Agent Tests (CAT) Pack includes:

• AlertAdvisor, get instant alerts of poor connection quality

• Automated Network Testing: perform/schedule up to a licensed number active Remote Agent tests at a time. Remote Agents:
     • enable a pre-qualification or support managed process without involving the customer
     • resolve customer problem in a support managed environment,
     • resolve intermittent problems requiring long-term continuous testing
     • identify congestion or regulation patterns over an extended timeline
     • build a baseline profile of connection performance.

• Satellite Servers, unlimited Satellite Servers can be deployed as remote testing servers for Remote Agents, Satellite Servers establish additional connection testing points at the application edge to accurately test actual application network paths.

SQL Database API, automatically export MCS test results to an external MySQL or SQL Server database.

The MCS Access Series solution delivers a unique testing platform which instantly identifies network quality problems that impact business applications and erode the customer quality of experience. The technology reports quality events including packet loss, retransmits, duplicates and retransmit timeouts, including the essential aspect of the recovery delay and effect on the connection service.

MCS Access Series appliances operate seamlessly with the MyConnection Server application, allowing connections to be monitored and tested over long or short periods of time. The appliances require no PC or platform OS to maintain, eliminating the overhead, security issues and resource contention of other platforms with an operating system.
