The network is slow!! My app doesn't work!!

Having trouble isolating application or network slowdowns? Tired of finger pointing between departments? When users complain about their applications, they may suspect many different causes. They blame the network, the application, the firewall, the load balancer, the servers – they blame you. Let a highly-trained, experienced, neutral Packet Detective sift through the evidence to quickly find the real culprit. From user interviews to packet capture and analysis, we leave no stone unturned until the mystery is solved.

We specialize in:

providing application and network performance consulting
on-site set-up and configuration of packet capture equipment
troubleshooting network and application issues
remote trace file analysis
recommending improvements for future infrastructure plans and purchases
teaching your teams how find the culprits themselves

We enjoy uncovering the root cause of application and network problems, suggesting solutions, and teaching others how to find and fix their own. We are both instructors and analysts, so we are able to bring real world experience into the classroom, and classroom concepts to the real world.

Why Packet Analysis? - Time is Money

There’s a saying; “Packets Never Lie,” and it is true. You can guess what might be causing an outage or slowdown, and you can make multiple changes, never really knowing which one made the difference. Yet when the problem happens again next week, you have to start all over again. Capturing the packets sent by each entity, always yields definitive results. Liken it to reading back the record in a court of law. No one can dispute it. Some clients prefer to learn how to troubleshoot for future issues and some want to hand the case over. We can work either way.
