Vusion Selects Shenick Technology to Ensure Scalability and Optimize QoS for HD Video Delivery

Shenick’s diversifEye Technology Emulates Thousands of Unique End Users Creating Massive IP Traffic to Verify the Scalability and Reach of Vusion High Definition Video Delivery

Burlingame, Calif.-Shenick Network Systems, provider of per-flow IP communication test and monitoring systems, announced that Vusion, providers of instant-on, full-screen, HD quality streaming video, will use the award-winning diversifEye™ technology to test and measure their end-to-end solution for high definition (HD) video delivery on a per user, per flow basis over low bandwidth networks. With Shenick’s diversifEye, Vusion will be able to ensure end user quality of service(QoS) and quality of experience (QoE) for customers streaming HD video from any location.

To ensure high QoS for end users receiving video content from its servers, Vusion is using Shenick’s diversifEye technology to carry out real world testing to determine how CDNs and video delivery networks (VDNs) perform under high load conditions with a range of video files. Shenick’s diversifEye tests the video quality received by thousands of individual users from 10Gig based Vusion servers, in addition to testing video files selected by unique users.

“Users are increasingly downloading video from multiple sources using a variety of networks,” said Robert Winters, CMO, Shenick Network Systems. “Shenick can help infrastructure providers like Vusion, deliver high quality video to customers from the outset, resulting in decreased customer churn and increased revenues.”

diversifEye10G™ is the world’s first high performance 10Gbps stateful IP application traffic emulator, supporting a full range of Layer 2-7 tests in a single module. Prior to the introduction of diversifEye10G, testing at 10Gig levels was restricted to stateless “packet blasting” which did not reflect real world conditions and created a limited high performance testing environment. diversifEye10G offers an extreme level of stateful, converged services and IP application traffic emulation and performance testing.

“When delivering high definition video to mass audiences online, its imperative to test the reach and scalability of the network infrastructure to ensure a great quality of experience for the enduser,” said Grover Righter, vice president of marketing at Vusion, Inc. “Shenick’s technology has enabled us to future proof our solution and offer the best possible service to our customers.”
