Preventative Performance Testing Takes Hold

Now with more focus on cost reduction, organizations are moving toward a much smarter way to enable successful application delivery. This is where the predictive approach of testing performance earlier in the application lifecycle has been long overdue. This approach enables organizations to avoid the risk of application failure leading to revenue loss, and it also increases their time-to-value by not having to fix problems in production.

When it comes down to it, technology is only as good as its availability and performance. Slow movers are pushed aside. However, enterprise applications are typically developed on a LAN and tested on a LAN – yet rollout over a WAN environment. This simple disparity is the cause of countless problems for developers, network managers, business users, and customers alike. It can be a significant gap, leaving room for speculation on how an application will perform.

This overview will address the unique value proposition of how WAN emulation can help organizations reduce deployment failures, speed applications to market, and predict user experience at remote sites – prior to deployment.
