Business Challenge

Asponte found during a Google Analytics review that requests can exceed 60 seconds to complete. Additionally, the IBM WebSphere Plugin Log showed failed connections to the Application Server.

Our Approach

First, IBM Support was consulted regarding the failed connections. They reviewed the TCP Dump files and suggested that additional support was required in the form of Network Trace and Problem Analysis. Based on their analysis, our team concluded that the performance issue was due to a network-level problem.

To address the issue, Asponte team members reviewed Ortho’s network infrastructure and took steps to optimize it, including a monitoring system to track the website’s performance and identify any future issues.
