Interpath Technology Saves Client Millions of Dollars per Day in Lost Financial Transactions
Server consolidation & Virtualization save a great deal of money in total cost of ownership & capital equipment. However, it seldom goes smoothly. Server Consolidation & Virtualization can also cost big money in lost productivity - vendor costs - damage to an IT Manager's reputation.
Co-hosted environments - Virtualization, - Server Consolidation - collapses several different servers into one. Interpath Technologies recommends a "stitch in time" approach with Single Transaction Analysis for Pre-Production & Parallel Production builds. Load testing is not enough. Single transaction analysis - before production deployment - is critical. Countless applications pass load testing only to fail in production. Single Transaction Testing will discover problems early & easily.
A large Financial Organization underwent a relatively small server consolidation from an outdated system to a cluster of fast Servers on FiberChannel. After cut-over, new system began to lose transaction at a very alarming rate. A very high profile project - an expensive problem - costing millions of dollars per day - in lost financial transaction. Vendor worked this problem for several days with no improvement.
Client engaged Interpath Technologies Corporation to perform an Enterprise Transaction Analysis.
We designed a systematic approach - we examined all possible pathways - not just those designed by Vendor or those that were expected. It isn’t an inspired process - just a thorough one. We discovered - Oracle based traffic from lost transaction - which should have been exclusively in FiberChannel - on a 100Mbs Half Duplex copper segment! Data had been falling into "bit bucket." Once problem was understood, they reconfigured network interfaces - no further transaction were dropped.
