SES/workbench

What is SES/workbench?

SES/workbench is a state-of-the-art, system-level, simulation software tool focusing on behavioral and performance modeling.

As a founding simulation product of HyPerformix, SES/workbench is used worldwide to solve hardware, software and networking problems, particularly performance and resource allocation problems. It is the ultimate product for solving architectural and design problems involving all three elements: hardware, software, and network.

HyPerformix also offers an extension to SES/workbench called CMF, the Common Modeling Framework. CMF is a technology that allows you to share models without sharing proprietary information. By sharing models, leading-edge companies are improving the design and performance of their products while minimizing time-to-market.

Why Do I Need SES/workbench?

Created for system architects, system designers and performance engineers who build or evaluate complex process systems, SES/workbench has a strong theoretical foundation, going well beyond conventional modeling and analysis approaches. This powerful methodology allows SES/workbench to represent and solve the most difficult system problems.

SES/workbench enables system architects to push the design envelope and examine optimal architectural and design compromises. Designers can perform sweeping "what-if" experiments quickly and cost effectively, without the need for prototyping. SES/workbench is invaluable for identifying and solving major problems that would surface otherwise in late design or integration phases.

SES/workbench process animation capabilities clearly and concisely communicate the system design to project teams, managers and investors.

Worldwide applications of SES/workbench's system-level simulation include:

• Business process re-engineering
• Hardware architecture and design
• Software requirements, analysis, and design
• Distributed system performance analysis
• Network performance analysis and design
• Computer systems and network capacity planning
• Database performance modeling
  

How Can HyPerformix Help Solve My System-Level Performance Problems?

In addition to providing the best system-level performance simulation and modeling products on the market, HyPerformix provides comprehensive consulting and training services to assist in your use of these products. All of these products and services are founded upon a well-defined and documented methodology for solving system-level performance problems: identifying goals, gathering data, developing and evaluating models, and optimizing designs.
