Guest Blog: QoS, Wherefore Art Thou
Posted by: admin in: ● October 3, 2011
By Cliff Chapman, Application Delivery Architect, LinkStatus Was Shakespeare’s Rosalind in a Telco’s QoS presentation when she enquired “Why then, can one desire too much of a good thing?” She was hooked. QoS would solve all her Application performance problems. “I’ll just need Expedited Forwarding for voice and video, something middling for Thin Client and I’ll [...]
CEO Notes: Life as a Boston Sports Fan is a Roller Coaster…
Posted by: melvinjim in: ● September 30, 2011
The Red Sox…Patriots…Bruins…Celtics. Heroes or Goats. Dynasties or cellar dwellers. Our sports teams are like our weather; don’t like how things are going? Just wait, it will change… It is a good thing that I can emotionally climb back into work for relief! This week I escaped the roller coaster of life as a [...]

In the past few years, businesses are increasingly focused on two areas: 1) saving money and resources and 2) consolidation and collaboration of operations. Particularly in technology, this consolidation can be witnessed in the jump in virtual desktops and virtual servers, both of which leverage resource sharing and economies of scale to save on space, power and ultimately, cost and complexity. At the same time, we are seeing more and more technologies standardize their protocols and use of network infrastructures.
Dog food, WAN performance, and hosted VoIP
Posted by: adamtedwards in: ● February 17, 2011
I hosted a virtual technology workshop a few days ago from our Portsmouth office. We were working with a partner to propose a hosted VoIP PBX service management offer. I started the meeting using Citrix Online’s GoToMeeting and dialed in using my Vonage business line.
Early in the discussion I was interrupted by a brief click followed by…dead air. Vonage has been very reliable from many locations, so I assumed this was a fluke and quickly rejoined the call. A couple of minutes passed, and my call dropped again. At this point I was having flashbacks to my days as a subscriper of AT&T ‘s wireless network last year and experience with many call failures.

Isn’t it an awful feeling when you’re told something by someone who has a vested interest in you believing them? Let’s face it, who has ever wholeheartedly believed what a salesman told them? Yeah, there are cries of ‘snake oil!’ in my head when I’m approached by these types. So, I’m here to give you the goods. I work on the Support team here at Apparent Networks and over the next three days, I’ll bring you a few tales of performance management woe, and how Apparent Networks solutions came to the rescue… Really!
Check your RPMs before you jump into Cloud Services

If we lived in a world where email and simple web page delivery was the state of the art, well, I wouldn’t have anything to write about, but we don’t. The mainstream services that are being deployed in education, government, and enterprise accounts are ushering in a completely new level of performance requirements on the networks they depend upon. Voice over IP (VoIP), video conferencing, IP based storage systems for file sharing, backup, and disaster recovery, and recently the deployment of virtual desktop services all bring with them new performance requirements. Yes, that means more bandwidth, but that is just the tip of the iceberg.
