Maximum Sustained Connections
We a similar test bed similar to that of our connection-rate test, but we set a
delay on WebReflector of 60 seconds, which kept the connection active. We then
ramped up the connections until we could make no more. We set the maximum
connections to varying levels until we found the maximum number of connections.
Throughput
We used HTTP/1.1 with persistent connections and created a transaction where a
user asked for a 25-KB page with two subobjects of 25 KB each. Each transaction
then consisted of a 75-KB download. We varied the number of connections per
second to reach a desired bandwidth. We disabled caching on the firewalls that
supported it and configured each page to be expired.
Protection Testing
To realize the benefits of cloud-native software, an application must actually be cloud-native—designed to run in the cloud, interacting with disaggregated cloud services, fully manageable as code—to deliver the expected benefits.
By combining resources and expertise, the AI-Enabled ICT Workforce Consortium will offer a blueprint for how industries can adapt to an AI-dominated future.
IT leaders should heed the guidance of cybersecurity insurance providers who think businesses should prioritize security education, incident preparedness, regular internal audits, and ongoing vulnerability scanning and patching.
