Applications > Business issues

In today’s “always-on”, 24x7 web-facing environment, the dependency upon application availability is becoming increasingly important.

Applications need to perform well, be sized correctly and the underlying infrastructure needs to be highly available. And then the deployment of a service orientated architecture brings a huge dependency on integration between the various application objects necessitating accurate and extensive testing.

And if the unthinkable should happen, the impact is just so visible. Even where there is no immediate financial consequence, the loss of reputation has done untold harm to many organisations and government bodies.

Applications > The Anix Service

From the dual-location, resilient 24x7 network operations centre, Anix is able to monitor and manage the entire end-to-end application infrastructure to give the best levels of application availability.

This comes from capacity planning services and performance management in addition to network and security services such as load balancing.

With increasing interest in utility services, clients require reporting on metered assets, automated provisioning and chargeback.

Application testing is now becoming more of a burden for many companies and service providers are increasingly used to ensure thorough functional and technical code testing takes place.

Load testing to ensure expected throughputs can be supported is essential and Anix can provide these services which then indicate, importantly, which aspects of the infrastructure will be most exposed under an intense work load.
