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 for ill effects while injecting specific real-world traffic to establish reliability, availability and security metrics. The service analyzer sends invalid or unexpected traffic, interacting with a service, within an automation framework that performs fault isolation based on implicit or explicit monitoring of any component of a service. For example, network operators use the service analyzer as part of their proactive service assurance process for next-generation network services such as VoIP, IPTV and IMS. The service analyzer is also being used to test services that are increasingly IP-based, including SCADA and other industrial control systems.
