A seismic system, Seismic Mobile Information & Control System (Seis-MICS) comprising field resources, satellite resources, and office resources. The field resources include various personnel, equipment, and vehicles located in the general vicinity of the seismic project. The field resources include transceivers permitting various of the field resources to communicate directly, or indirectly, to the office resources via one or more satellites. The office resources include satellite earth hubs/stations, a server-side hardware, software, and data store, and user workstations. The seismic system advantageously facilitates real or near real time transmission of data between the field and office environment, thereby providing an efficient seismic operation.

The system of claim 1, wherein the database stores load testing data for each of a plurality of customers of a load testing service associated with the plurality of load testing servers, and the web site provides each such customer secure access to the load testing data of that customer. 10. A method of providing load testing services to each of a plurality of business entities that operate transactional servers, the method comprising: providing a web site through which the business entities upload data regarding specific transactional servers to be load tested; generating load tests for each of the transactional servers using data uploaded by the corresponding business entities; running each of the load tests from a server farm that is located remotely from the corresponding transactional server, such that request messages and responses thereto are passed between the server farm and each of the transactional servers over a wide area network; storing performance data resulting from running the load tests in a database, said performance data indicative, for each transactional server, of how the transactional servers responds under load conditions; and providing web-based access to the performance data over the wide area network to allow said business entities to evaluate results of load test runs; whereby computing resources used to conduct load tests are shared by the plurality of business entities, and the transactional servers of such business entities are load tested without a need for the business entities to set up load testing servers. 11. The method of claim 10, wherein running each of the load tests comprises ramping up a number of virtual users over time to increase a load applied to a transactional server. 12. The method of claim 10, wherein running each of the load tests comprises ramping up a load applied to a transactional server over time while monitoring associated server response times. 13. The method of claim 10, wherein running each of the load tests comprises running a load test against a staged implementation of a transactional server. 14. The method of claim 10, wherein running each of the load tests comprises running a load test against a staged implementation of a transactional server. 15. The method of claim 10, wherein running each of the load tests comprises using a load balancing algorithm to assign load testing tasks to individual servers of said server farm. 16. The method of claim 10, wherein at least some of the transactional servers are web site systems. 17. The method of claim 10, wherein generating the load tests comprises using a hosted collaboration tool remotely collaborate in load test generation. 18. A method of load testing a web site, the method comprising: providing a staged implementation of the web site that is remotely accessible via the Internet; running a load test against the staged implementation of the web site from a server farm that is remote from the web site and coupled to the web site by the Internet, wherein running the load test comprises ramping up a load applied to the staged implementation of the web site over time; and providing web-based access to performance data measurements taken during running of the load test to permit users to remotely analyze results of the load test. 19. The method of claim 18, wherein running the load test comprises using a load balancing algorithm to assign load testing tasks to individual servers of the server farm. 20. The method of claim 18, wherein running the load test comprises using a controller component to assign load testing tasks to individual servers of the server farm. 21. The method of claim 18, wherein providing a staged implementation of the web site comprises placing the staged implementation at an Internet address that is not generally known. 22. The method of claim 18, wherein ramping up a load comprises ramping up a number of virtual users accessing the staged implementation of the w
