Our load testing identifies problems - before they happen

Our testing lets you avoid any investment in stress-testing infrastructure and avoid configuring your software. Most importantly, there is no need for you to calculate user simulation and stress-testing environment capabilities.

Digital Edge utilizes LoadRunner in conjunction with other open source load generation software to produce the load. We maintain a server of 10 load generators ready to produce load-pushing traffic through a fiber channel gigabit network. This environment can simulate 12,000 concurrent users with complex behavior scenarios—today—and can be expended to meet your stress-testing needs.


Powerful scripting

Our dynamic scripting allows the shortest learning curve, saves time, and offers better user action simulation.

Digital Edge produces user scenario scripts of any complexity including dynamic user generation and rotation, random behavior and custom wait time. We can analyze historical logs to determine common users' behaviors, producing scripts following normal-use patterns.


Pinpoint analysis

Our comprehensive analysis allows you to save time on choosing measuring parameters, as well as behavior understanding and solution-finding.

Digital Edge always merges an "inside" and "outside" view of performance metrics. We collect user experience metrics and compare them to inside performance metrics. We begin with the basic parameters, such as CPU/Disk/Memory/Network utilization. We then go deeper, using more precise metrics and tools, including understanding system behavior and identifying bottleneck and slowest components.


Leverage the power of systems & application tuning

While hardware is continually becoming cheaper and more powerful, we firmly believe that the biggest gain in performance come from system/application tuning.

Consider this: if you double the size of your hardware footprint, you may double performance in the best casescenario. However, you’ll also increase hardware cost, management cost and power consumption! Meanwhile, a simple code or database optimization can improve your performance tens of times - without the resultant additional costs!

Digital Edge is your one-stop shop for identifying and fixing problems. With us, there is no need to find appropriate resources on 3rd-party consultants. Our fast turnaround gets your system up and running in preparation for mission-critical marketing promotions.

Digital Edge's optimization specialists understand systems' behaviors and are capable of changing them to make sure that they perform smoothly. In short, we have the programmers, DBAs, system and network engineers needed to make your system fly.
