MCS is not a wrapper around open-source tools or a repurposed monitoring platform. It is a purpose-built engine for end-to-end network performance assessment, developed by a team with decades of expertise in network data flow, protocol behavior, and connection quality.
At the core of MCS is a testing engine that simulates real application traffic, measures how the network handles it, and reports the results with precision. It doesn't ping a server and guess. It generates actual VoIP packets, TCP streams, UDP loads, ICMP traces, and SIP transactions, then analyzes how each one was delivered.
The engine powers six distinct test types, all unified under a single platform with centralized data, scheduling, and reporting. It also opens up to your own systems: browser tests can be embedded in your own web portals and controlled from JavaScript, satellite tests can be started from outside MCS with a reservation URL, and the read-only HTTP API returns results as JSON to your dashboards, scripts, and data warehouses.
Hardware NCS devices are purpose-built for accurate, secure, always-on network testing. They operate without an operating system, file system, or executables, eliminating every category of OS-level threat.
2 to 16 x 1Gbps NCS ports. Each port is an independent test endpoint with integrated I-point and E-point capabilities. Built for always-on deployment with load balancing and redundancy.
Two independent 1Gbps ports in a compact form factor. A single device can run as both client and server simultaneously, delivering accurate results without shared application overheads.
Run NCS satellite software on a Raspberry Pi for a full-featured, affordable test endpoint anywhere. Ideal for distributed deployments where hardware appliance cost is a factor.
Software NCS satellites bring the same testing capabilities to any device running a modern operating system. Install in seconds, manage remotely from MCS.
Available for Windows, macOS, and Linux. Runs on physical machines, VMs, cloud instances (AWS, Azure), and Raspberry Pi.
Command-line, installer, or standalone app. Deploys in seconds and can be pre-configured with test work before installation.
Each software satellite functions as both an I-point (initiator) and E-point (endpoint), enabling end-to-end testing between any two deployed instances.
Assign, update, and schedule test work remotely from the MCS dashboard. No need to touch the device after initial deployment.
Restricts access to the host file system and OS data assets. Operates without persistent file storage for minimal security exposure.
Supports all MCS test types: VoIP, bandwidth, capacity, port availability, traceroute, and firewall. On-demand or scheduled.
