FERNDALE, Wash., Dec. 3, 2008 — Today APconnections – a leading supplier of plug-and-play bandwidth shaping products – announced test results from the independent laboratory of Candela Technologies.
"APconnections has been coming to us for years to put extreme realistic loads on their equipment," said Ben Greear, lead engineer, Candela Technologies. "We used our LANforge traffic generator to hit the latest NetEqualizer release with over 1.2 million simulated user data streams within a 60 second window. The NetEqualizer shrugged off the abuse and continued to pass in excess of 800Mbps of bi-directional traffic. The NetEqualizer successfully ran this torture test for a full 24 hours without a hiccup."
"With our higher-end shaping solutions, we cannot afford a problem in the field," said Eli Riles, vice president of technology, APconnections. Riles was very pleased with the results. APconnections is extremely grateful to have such a knowledgeable company like Candela Technologies with such impressive simulation capabilities testing its equipment. Their load generator strains equipment well beyond real world situations, insuring its stability. The company cannot validate extreme conditions like this with live customers. If a unit fails in the field, it could put reputations at stake.
The NetEqualizer is a plug-and-play bandwidth control and WAN/Internet optimization appliance. It is both flexible and scalable. The NetEqualizer's unique "behavior shaping" technology gives priority to latency-sensitive applications such as VoIP and email. It does it all automatically and so dynamically while improving on other bandwidth shaping technology available.
