Technology Overview | HP Velocity Quality of Experience with HP Velocity HP Velocity is a Quality of Service (QoS) software engine that improves the overall Quality of Experience (QoE) for real-time network applications. Real-time streaming applications delivered over data networks can be compromised by packet loss, transmission latency, and Wi-Fi congestion. This results in stop-and-go behavior, loss of interactivity, and an overall reduction in the throughput of an application.
Technology Overview | HP Velocity HP Velocity components HP Velocity consists of the following components, which form an integrated system designed to improve overall QoE.
Technology Overview | HP Velocity LiveQ Packet loss occurs when packets traversing a network do not reach their destination. A number of factors contribute to packet loss, including signal degradation over the network, network congestion, corrupted packets, and hardware issues. In UDP-based transport, which does not guarantee packet delivery, even a small amount of packet loss can cause applications to slow down or reduce the bit rate.
Technology Overview | HP Velocity LiveWiFi Wi-Fi is constrained for a number of technical reasons and, as a result, delivers a much lower network performance experience than wired networks. High-end, consumer-grade Wi-Fi access points (APs) advertise that they are capable of speeds of 300 to 450 Mb/s. In reality, Wi-Fi capacity is much lower than advertised.
Technology Overview | HP Velocity Wi-Fi prioritization LiveWiFi gives HP Velocity traffic a higher priority than other traffic on the network. Both endpoints mark HP Velocity traffic to prioritize packets moving in either direction. LiveWiFi leverages the Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM) Standard to reduce packet wait times compared to other traffic in the network. This results in lower latency, less jitter, and higher throughput.
Technology Overview | HP Velocity LiveTCP latency mitigation Real-world IP networks introduce latency and packet loss to application flows. A primary cause of these issues is network congestion. Latency and packet loss degrade the end-user QoE, especially for applications that use TCP for reliable data transmission, such as streaming video, chat, remote desktop, and file transfers.
Technology Overview | HP Velocity Summary HP Velocity patented technology is available exclusively on HP thin clients. It provides a seamless, integrated QoE solution for both managed and unmanaged networks. This allows organizations to gain valuable insight into their thin client application flows, offload more expensive infrastructures (such as MPLS networks) to lower-cost networks, and achieve maximum performance regardless of network conditions.
