Better Speed, Better Performance

You Need Speed. We Deliver.

By analyzing your existing and planned applications, we’re able to prescribe the most effective solutions for optimal performance, whether over your LAN or WAN.

First, we profile your applications to identify performance-limiting factors, such as:

• Previous design or architecture decisions
• Previous application deployment decisions
• High latency
• Insufficient bandwidth

How We Work

Our tiered approach to Application Profiling Services delivers increasing levels of analysis based on your situation. Each tier constitutes a fully managed engagement, including the participation of a program manager and a quality control review with a senior manager.

• Application Optimization Service
  Provides a one-time assessment of Web-based application performance leading to optimization recommendations both for the application itself, as well as Hughes^® acceleration technologies used to support delivery. The Application Optimization Service is typically employed to assess Web pages and .NET or Java based back-office applications.

• Application Blueprint Service
  Provides a one-time application design review and performance assessment of Web-based applications, resulting in an Application Blue Print Report that includes optimization and design recommendations.  The Blueprint Service is typically used to assess .NET or Java-based back-office applications with multiple transactions, as well as LMS-type training applications.
• Deep Application Profiling Service
  Provides an ongoing profile of Web-based application performance via versioned Deep Application Profiling Reports. Deep Profiling can assess any Web application, either in-house or off-the-shelf, and is particularly suited to tracking the application profile across multiple iterations/versions of the application.

Deploying Your Own Solution? Selecting The Right Technology?

You’ve selected an application that meets your requirements, but now you have to find the best deployment option. Maybe you’ve defined your requirements, but can’t find the right technology or the application vendor to provide the solution. Hughes can help you make the right choices.

Our Solution Consultants can provide the guidance when you’re trying to:

• Design the right deployment option for a new application
• Identify the right technology to meet your application delivery needs
• Select the right vendor to provide the application solution to your network

Technology Specific Solutions

Using the Best Practices we co-developed with Microsoft for deploying Exchange messaging solutions over wide area networks, we can perform a health check of your existing environment and provide recommendations to optimize for your network.  If you’re deploying a new solution to your branch office locations, we can show you how to apply these best practices to optimize your design.

Through Hughes’ experience working with top tier virtualization vendors (VMware, Microsoft, & Citrix) we can help you determine how to best use virtual machine technology in your environment. Once the right technology has been selected, we can also help you choose the right vendor and determine the best practices to follow for optimum network deployment.

Customized Deployment Solutions

Sometimes it’s necessary to perform a comprehensive analysis of your network to maximize application delivery performance. Hughes co-develops deployment guides with application vendors and produces application notes, data analyses, and online resources providing recommendations for maximizing application delivery performance across all WAN topologies.

Network-Specific Solutions

Optimization examples include applications such as multicast deployment, Active Directory development, and Citrix deployment.

• Multicast Deployment
  Our Enterprise Package Delivery (EDP) software solution enables the automated creation, scheduling, and distribution of digital data and video packages via multicast. You can use EPD to seamlessly integrate multicast into your digital data and video workflow. Our managed multicast services give you the means to effectively engage and architect the solutions that best fit your specific needs.

• Active Directory Deployment
  We can provide a comprehensive analysis of your existing Active Directory (AD) network, or provide design guidelines and strategies for deploying a complete AD network from the ground up. With the goal to improve performance, our analysis focuses on design, deployment, and infrastructure issues that can impact performance.
• Citrix Deployment
  Whether you currently use Citrix or have plans to so, we can guide you toward the best implementation.  Citrix can be challenging in high-latency environments (wireline or wireless).  Hughes can work closely with you and Citrix to ensure the optimum implementation.
