Performance Implications of VoIP and Video Traffic on the Shared NetworkCA Technologies
Voice and video have quickly become the biggest bandwidth hogs on most enterprise networks. While some uses of voice and video technology are contributing to increased productivity, communication and reduction in work-related travel, managing network performance has also become much more challenging.
Our panel of experts are faced with the responsibilities for maintaining network performance. Hear their thoughts on the challenges and implications of voice and video on the shared network.

Cloud computing is rapidly changing the way systems are developed, tested, and deployed. New system hosting capabilities—software as a service (SaaS), platform as a service (PaaS), infrastructure as a service (IaaS)—are forcing us to review and revise our testing processes. At the same time, cloud computing is affording us opportunities to employ new test tooling solutions, which we call testing as a service (TaaS). In this technical session, Martin Pol and Jeroen Mengerink focus on testing SaaS systems, describing relevant IaaS and PaaS capabilities along the way. They discuss how to test performance of the cloud itself and ways to take advantage of the resource elasticity afforded by cloud computing. Martin and Jeroen explore the risks―some traditional, others completely new—that arise when organizations implement cloud computing and describe the tests you need to design to mitigate these risks.
