Satellite Architecture
The MyConnection Server (MCS) satellite architecture provides a powerful, flexible platform for automated network testing. Each satellite acts as a Test Edge Point (TEP), enabling ongoing performance assessments across various network segments — whether within a corporate LAN, across WAN links, or in remote customer environments. By distributing satellites throughout your infrastructure, you can establish baselines, monitor variances, and proactively identify performance issues before they impact users.
Satellite Roles
Each satellite is multi-functional:
| Role | Description |
|---|---|
| Client | Runs automated, scheduled tests between defined endpoints to gather insights on network segments supporting critical business or cloud applications. Provides a consistent, repeatable measurement framework for application rollouts. |
| Server | Receives and supports tests — either automated from other satellites or user-initiated via a browser interface. Empowers users to troubleshoot connection issues without deep technical involvement or complex deployment. |
| Client (App) | Mobile-friendly app interface for smartphones and tablets, enabling secure, on-the-go testing. Developers can integrate this functionality into third-party applications using the provided SDK. |
Central Management
All satellite roles are centrally managed via a simple HTTP-based protocol (SMCP), making deployment and control seamless across Windows, macOS, Linux, and mobile platforms. The result is a cohesive, scalable, and proactive network qualification system supporting both automated diagnostics and self-help testing, all orchestrated from a central MCS server.
The satellite architecture transforms network performance monitoring from fragmented and reactive into a comprehensive, automated, and user-friendly system — empowering organizations to preemptively spot issues and validate connectivity across any network landscape.
