Chariot evaluates the performance of networked applications, performs stress tests on network devices and predicts networked application performance before deployment. You can use Chariot's performance data to optimize your network and predict the impact of proposed network changes.

NetIQ also offers the VoIP Test Module for Chariot (VoIP Test Module), which enables you to reliably predict call quality by using a Mean Opinion Score (MOS) and provides detailed network statistics to determine optimal network design.

Chariot

Key Benefits

• Measures end-to-end performance. Gauges response time and throughput for standard transactional applications. Chariot also measures jitter, delay and lost data for streaming applications. Using the VoIP Test Module, you can also measure overall call quality.
• Tests with real-world application loads. Generates application traffic without application overhead to reveal the effects of additional traffic on your network. It also supports multiple protocols (TCP, UDP, RTP, SPX, IPX and SNA) and emulates the traffic of any application—including VoIP, ERP and web. With the IPv6 Test Module for Chariot, you can also generate IPv6-based application traffic.
• Enables pre-deployment testing. Ensures successful application rollouts by predicting performance across the network and measuring the effect changes will have on your existing applications. Chariot also predicts expected QoS and evaluates how well your network infrastructure can handle VoIP, videoconferencing and IP multicast.
• Supports management of IT investments and operations. Provides vital, detailed performance data, helping you optimize network performance and eliminate unnecessary upgrades.
