Computer networks are the backbone of business, because they allow workers and management alike to communicate more quickly and to exchange documents and other kinds of files. Every day, it seems, computer networks must get a measure faster and be able to manage and transport greater amounts of data than they were relied upon to handle just yesterday.
You can't help but be concerned about the reliability of a network that you're managing, especially when a large number of staff members use it in their jobs. Perhaps your network spans the globe and is used in many different offices located in various time zones, which each place specific demands on the corporate enterprise.
These days, it's probable that your workers are on the move, and because of that they prefer to use mobile apps to communicate and share data. When there are many new apps that have to be integrated into your network, you're going to have a lot of work to do to ensure that they will be provided for.
You're going to spend lots of time ensuring that apps not previously run on your network are acceptable and secure for business use on the corporate enterprise. You can become bewildered by the additional traffic you must accommodate in addition to the number of apps that must be examined for network use.
Administrators usually find that conducting a performance test on a regular basis is crucial for maintaining a network that supports various applications being used on it. When the network is overburdened under the pressure of plentiful data transmissions, you'll want to test to see if there are trouble spots where data doesn't flow.
Employees can't do their work as effectively when the network is slow or failing, so it's important to keep data flowing quickly to avoid major losses in productivity. With performance testing, administrators can single out trouble spots that only become apparent when the system is stressed, and they can make changes before trouble starts.
When administrators test a network to determine its capacity to handle large loads of data traffic, simulated data traffic is deployed on the network. With close observation of abnormally high levels of data traffic, you can see where portions of the network are likely to go down in times when the network is most stressed.
You've got to expect that the worst will occur sometime in the future, especially with the increasing amount of stress networks typically experience. Should disaster occur and your network becomes incapacitated, you could find that business comes to a complete close while you struggle to repair the corporate network.
Testing is your most powerful secret weapon against loss of productivity and the possibility that your enterprise could go offline and bring business to an unsettling halt.
