The Test Center also provides insight into how to leverage technology for business gain. The InfoWorld Test Center reflects a real-world, heterogeneous enterprise. The InfoWorld Test Center includes network topologies ATM, FDDI, Ethernet, and Token Ring. In addition, we have a network with more than 300 nodes that runs various operating systems, not just Windows. Whereas most labs run benchmarks, we use workloads.
Benchmarks measure only raw performance, often sub-system performance.
Our staff of analysts have more than a century's worth of IT experience. The positions they've held run the gamut from IS manager to network administrator to desktop support specialist in such industries as aerospace and insurance. Finally, we know what topics, issues, and concerns are uppermost in minds of IT professionals. We regularly solicit their feedback through surveys that provide us with valuable information about the products, technologies, and services that make up our readers' environments as well as their plans for future implementations.
