Research and Development Expertise

We work with Research and Development professionals, SMARS(R) monitors and trends operational characteristics of architectural and code bottlenecks, identifying the resulting availability of their network and services. Providing an opportunity to validate designs and illustrate real-life operational characteristics against R&D expectations and performance characteristics scale vertically and horizontally as capacity is added.

Understanding the operational characteristics of complex infrastructure and services will provide insight in to the indicators of performance.  We use Data Mining of transaction and system log files to identify the relationships between service failures, their indicators and the root causes (root cause analysis). These indicators become metrics or counters, recording ‘profiles’ of all known service interruptions and essential operational aspects of performance, on a service by service, or equipment by equipment basis to create a knowledge base.

SMARS provides rapid prototyping of metrics and KPI’s, supporting Research & Development engineers to decide the most meaningful metrics and KPI’s for use in live deployments. As a business our consulting services guide in the optimal use and composition of Key Performance Indicators (KPI’s) and metrics.

We harness the power of operational data, assisting Research and Development to make well informed product development decisions based on quantifiable analytical data.
