Kaspersky Lab Product Performance
Validation Testing & Certification
Comparative Product Testing – Test Network
Testing was carried out on distinct networks which comprised various server and
client machines needed to run the respective technologies and operating systems.
In order to provide a balanced reporting process, West Coast Labs recommended
that all client machines should run Windows XP and Service Pack 3 and that server
platforms ran the highest OS version commonly supported across each of the
solutions.
In some cases this meant that they may not have been running on the latest version
of a particular operating system, but this method meant that any testing carried out
was more directly comparable. Details of highest levels of common operating
systems per component available at the time of testing are as follows:
Network 1 – Microsoft Exchange
This network comprised 12 systems – 6 desktops and 6 servers (one of each for each
solution). Each of the desktop machines were paired up with a server system in order
to allow an Exchange Server and Outlook client configuration.
Server OS: Windows 2003 Server 64 bit, Exchange Release: 2007 64 bit.
Network 2 – Windows Server
This network comprised 12 systems – 6 desktops and 6 servers (one of each for each
solution). Each of the desktop machines were paired up with a server system in order
to allow a server/client configuration.
Server OS: Windows 2008 64 bit
