Symantec Endpoint Protection 12.1 vs. Trend Micro Deep Security 8
Anti-virus Performance in VMware ESXi Virtual Environments
Release date: 07 May 2012
|
As IT architects scale deployments of virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) solutions, they must be aware of the resource requirements of “always on” and high-use components such as endpoint security systems. In virtual environments, vendors can implement their solution as a client-based agent where all security processing takes place on the client, a virtual appliance that handles the anti-virus
(A/V) workload or, possibly, some hybrid of the two approaches.
Symantec Corp. commissioned Tolly to benchmark the performance
of its new Symantec Endpoint Protection (SEP) 12.1 within VMware
ESXi 5 virtual environments vs. Trend Micro Deep Security 8.
Specifically, this testing focused on the system resource requirements
of each solution when performing on-demand and on-access
scanning, and during distributed virus definition upda

Wipro Gallagher Solutions NetOxygen Loan Origination System
Scalability and Performance Evaluation
Release date: 23 April 2012
|
In today’s lending environment, banks and mortgage companies seek higher loan quality and accuracy while examining how to reduce their overall cost to originate. In many cases, this goal is hard to achieve with the number of available systems that duplicate processes, leading to an inconsistent user experience and a drain on company resources. As a result, mortgage lenders are implementing streamlined processes, enabling more checks and balances through technology and providing real-time feedback to increase customer service and satisfaction.
Wipro Gallagher Solutions, Inc. (“Wipro or “WGS”) commissioned Tolly to evaluate the scalability and performance of their end-to-end loan origination platform, NetOxygen. Tolly engineers found that the NetOxygen Loan Origination System provides full loan management and origination functionality with fast processing times, even at high user loads.
Tests using Oracle Database were scaled to 20,000 simulated users originating over 3,000 peak hour loans, over 99% error-free, with an average screen change response time of 1.32 seconds. Tests using Microsoft SQL Server were scaled to 10,000 simulated users originating over 1,600 peak hour loans, over 99% error- free, with an average screen change response time of 1.05 seconds

AVG Internet Security Business Edition 2012
Ease of Management and Usability Evaluation Against Competing Security Suites for SMB Users
Release date: 13 March 2012
|
Endpoint security is just as important for small and medium business (SMB) environments as it is for large enterprises. SMBs, though, are likely to have limited or no dedicated IT resources to manage installation and ongoing policy updates. Thus, understanding the effort required to install a solution and conduct ongoing maintenance tasks is important when choosing an endpoint security solution for SMB deployment.
Testing showed that with AVG users can save valuable time in managing their security solution -- time that can be better used to focus on their business. Testing showed that AVG is a solution that is one of the easiest-to-use for most common tasks such as running scans, installing across a small business network, etc.

Release date: 12 March 2012
|
Security and network operation center personnel have traditionally had few alternatives when it comes to securing endpoints and servers in their enterprise, with most solutions being some variation of the traditional antivirus blacklisting approach to security. Advanced threats which put valuable intellectual property at risk have quickly become a significant security concern for corporations.
Bit9 commissioned Tolly to evaluate leading endpoint security solutions to compare the effectiveness of traditional antivirus products and the most recent application control approach against malware and zero-day threats. The application control (whitelisting) solution tested was Bit9 Parity Suite 6.0, and the antivirus (blacklisting) solutions tested were McAfee Endpoint Protection Suite and Symantec Endpoint Protection 12.1. Testing of 5 attacks across a number of systems showed that Bit9 Parity Suite protects both Windows clients and Windows Web servers more effectively than the Symantec and McAfee endpoint solutions under test.

Edgewater Wireless EAP3000 Access Point
WiFi3 vs. Single-Channel Access Point Performance
Release date: 14 February 2012
|
Wireless 802.11a/b/g/n LAN (WLAN) Access Points (APs) are integrated with single-channel radio solutions. While these single-channel APs advertise high-speed connectivity to clients, in practice the performance of the network is adversely impacted when a slow client, or when multiple slow clients, connect to the AP.
In cases where older 802.11b clients are being supported, this rate can be as low as 1Mbps when factors like distance or interference prevent higher association rates. Thus, even a single client associated at a low rate will degrade the overall performance of the AP.
The Edgewater Wireless EAP3000 AP eliminates this problem. By providing three separate channels, the EAP3000 can service older, low-speed clients on one channel while providing two additional channels that can be used by newer, high-speed clients.
Tests show that the EAP3000 provides a dramatic increase in aggregate throughput in these mixed-mode environments when compared with single-channel APs from several leading providers.

HP X5000 G2 Network Storage System
System Ease-of-Use, High-Availability, Performance, and Interoperability Evaluation
Release date: 06 December 2011
|
Today’s small and medium-size businesses (SMBs) have ever-growing needs with respect to storage. Not only do SMBs often need many terabytes of storage, they require a level of high-availability (HA) typically associated with large-scale, enterprise deployments. Furthermore, given IT staffing constraints, storage solutions should be easily installed and managed by existing IT staff.
Tests show that a 2-node, HP X5520 G2 9.6TB LFF 15K Network Storage System (hereafter X5000 G2) could be installed “out-of-the-box” to a fully-functional, HA system joined to a Microsoft domain in less than 90 minutes. The HP-supplied Initial Configuration Tasks tool guides the user through each deployment stage, eliminating a great deal of manual configuration.

Tester har visat att ett HP X5520 G2 LFF 15K nätverkslagringssystem på 9,6 TB med två noder (hädanefter kallat X5000 G2) kan installeras "direkt ur kartongen" till ett fullt funktionellt HA- system och anslutas till en Microsoft-domän på mindre än 90 minuter. Det HP-levererade verktyget Initial Configuration Tasks vägleder användaren genom alla stadier av implementeringen, vilket eliminerar en stor del av den manuella konfigurationen.

Performance and Ease-of-Use Evaluation in VMware ESXi 4.1u1 Environments
Release date: 05 December 2011
|
Small and medium size business (SMB) networks are facing increasing demands for data protection in their virtualized environments. As server consolidation continues, SMBs are unlikely to adhere to the level of redundancy sought by enterprise class datacenters. However, planning for the unexpected provides for a quick recovery in the event of an outage.
All SMBs can benefit from a flexible platform which can provide the desired backup, recovery, and replication features, while effortlessly integrating with their specific environment. A solution which can be implemented as a virtual or physical machine, on the LAN or SAN is preferable where storage may not be centralized, or additional servers may be hard to come by.

Dell Force10 Distributed Core Fabric Solution For The Data Center Architectural Scalability, Resilience & Power Consumption Using Z9000
Systems
Release date: 14 November 2011
|
Data center switching is arguably the most demanding network environment in the Enterprise. High concentrations of high-end server and storage resources will typically translate into high demand for network resources. Historically, the scalability and resilience/high-availability requirements of the data center could only be met using chassis-based LAN switches.
With its Z9000 core switch, Dell Force10 introduces their Distributed Core fabric architecture. This innovative design is purpose-built for cost-effective, high- performance, highly-scalable data center core networking.
Dell Force10 commissioned Tolly to demonstrate the efficacy of building a data center fabric solution using fixed-port Z9000 switches deployed in a Clos-based, leaf-and-spine configuration to provide the scalability, flexibility and high-availability of chassis-based solutions.
Tolly evaluated a lab deployment of ten Z9000 switches with 4 serving as the network spine and the remaining 6 as leaf nodes. Tolly engineers evaluated the overall performance of the 10-device system, validated resiliency of the leaf-to-spine switch connections and measured the power consumption of the Z9000 according to the ATIS standard for core switches.

HP 3800 Switch Series
Competitive Performance, Power Consumption and TCO Evaluation Versus Cisco Catalyst 3750-X and Juniper EX4200 Series
Release date: 27 September 2011
|
Enterprise-class networks are facing increasing demands for higher port- density and throughput driven by rich media applications like voice and video over IP.. Traditionally, network access layer switches delivered the port- density, fault-tolerance and scalability using either a chassis or a stack of fixed-port switches. Stackable switches, when properly architected, can offer network managers a solution that can be scaled as the needs of the network grow over time. In this report, the HP 3800 series switches were compared against Cisco’s Catalyst 3750-X and Juniper’s EX4200 series switches.
The performance of the HP meshed stacking technology used by the HP 3800 Switch Series was compared against the Cisco Catalyst 3750-X with StackWise Plus technology, and Juniper’s EX4200 switches using the Virtual Chassis stacking technology. Test results show the HP switches deliver significantly higher throughput at lower latency in both a standalone and in a four-switch stack configuration. According to HP, its new switches were designed with a large per-port buffer to deal with bursty traffic, allowing them to handle larger microbursts than the Juniper and Cisco switches.
