Silicon.com: Know Your Network
This collection of networking horror stories includes a quote from our CEO, Joel Trammell. They misspelled his name as “Trammel” but that’s okay because they’re British. They spell a lot of words differently in the U.K.
Joel Trammel, CEO of NetQoS, said: “Increasing bandwidth is not a panacea for solving performance problems. Make sure you understand the cause of the problem before taking corrective action like throwing bandwidth at it. Delay for example could be caused by the server, the application or even the transit path. The ability to measure the right performance metrics is key.”
Your Comments on Netcosm:
I must admit, it’s a blast seeing some of the comments from places such as YouTube, Tech Crunch, and Fark Tech about Netcosm.
The best comments:
YouTube:
corydlewis: “this is some kinda matrix biznes-go little server packets fight!!!1″
["Go Little Server Packets Fight!!!" is currently the leading candidate for the name of the NetQoS Official Punk Band.]
easybeek: “If at any point in time your data is on fire or exploding, it can’t be a good thing.”
[Just like purple lightning is never a good sign in a horror movie...]
Fark.com/Tech:
My Liver Hurts: “I’d love to put about 4 flatpanels in my cubicle and get that program running on all of them. Then when people come by to ask me a question or ask me to do something I can just say “[SHUT UP] I’M IN THE MATRIX” really loud and not look at them.”
[For real chutzpah, try saying this in a meeting with management.]
MaconL87: “Replace the fireworks in the video with beer kegs and you have an accurate model of how FARK’s servers work.”
[This is why we're thinking about including a skinning feature...]
dionysos: “I’m going to feel like a real ass if working in a NOC really ends up looking like the one in Hackers, because I’ve been making fun of that movie for a decade. [but] if the NOC plays ‘Voodoo People’ in the background, I’m in”
[Voodoo People, Magic People. The who-do-what-you-don't-dare-do-people.]
Techcrunch:
Techcrunch/Jimmydunes: “I won’t be happy until I can monitor my network traffic by smell. “Oh no! Is that burning hair?!”
[When everything works smoothly, the network smells like cinnabuns.]
