Mu Dynamics (formerly known as Mu Security) is a private venture-funded company that makes hardware and software to test network services, allowing its users to quantify their product's or service's reliability, availability and security.
Products and services
Mu Dynamics' Service Analyzer monitors services' reactions to a wide variety of real-world traffic, checking for ill effects caused by non-compliant traffic. Establishing whether a service is reliable, available and secure requires correlating any such ill effects with the specific real-world traffic that caused them. The service analyzer interacts with a service as a real client or server does, exercising the service along three dimensions that use a common automation framework to isolate faults based on implicit or explicit monitoring of any component of a service. Network operators use the Service Analyzer as part of a proactive service assurance process throughout the product deployment life cycle to establish reliability, availability and security metrics for next-generation network services such as VoIP, IPTV and IMS. Operators of other increasingly IP-based services, including SCADA or other industrial control systems also use the Service Analyzer.
