Do your remote end-users end up finding more performance problems than your QA and performance engineers? Do you need to be able to better prevent application deployment failures? How do you simulate remote locations in your development and QA environments? Do you need to know in advance how applications will perform in remote sites? Shunra VE enhances your QA and performance testing environments, enabling you to validate the production-readiness of your new and modified applications before you deploy them to remote end-users.
In today’s fast-paced business environment, new applications are constantly being developed and existing applications are constantly being updated. Often, these applications are rolled out into production with little prior knowledge about how they will perform for remote end-users or under changing network conditions. Of course, these applications go through rigorous functional and performance testing on unrestricted LAN links. But their performance across the end-to-end enterprise network typically remains unknown until they’re actually deployed. This serious gap in the QA process makes it difficult to predict and fulfill service level objectives (SLOs) and impossible to communicate realistic performance expectations in advance. It also delays roll-out schedules and exposes IT departments to development cost over-runs and productivity-draining firefighting.
A Complete Application Performance Engineering Solution
Shunra VE provides a powerful and comprehensive solution for proactively testing whether your applications are ready for applications on the enterprise network. It accurately replicates your real-world enterprise environment in your pre-production lab, so you can determine exactly how applications will perform at all remote locations before you initiate your roll-out. You’ll be able to see and feel your end-users’ actual quality-of-experience for any application anywhere across the enterprise – right in your lab. Armed with this invaluable insight, you’ll be able to discover performance problems and drill down into the root causes of problems while you’re still in QA. So you can avoid the costs, disruptions and loss of credibility that result when performance problems unexpectedly rear their ugly heads during production roll-outs.
Easily Predict Application Performance under All Network Conditions
Shunra VE makes it easy to automatically analyze application behavior under a full range of network conditions – and expose all the potential “breaking points” for any application. Shunra VE generates detailed report on performance and can highlight compliance with pre-determined service level objectives, which you can use to communicate performance expectations across business units and application teams. With Shunra VE you get unmatched visibility into all of the performance problems you may encounter once you roll the application out to remote sites. Best of all, it does all this without requiring a high level of expertise, and it integrates easily into existing lab environments and QA processes.
Quickly Isolate Performance Problems
Shunra VE also enables you to pinpoint both in advance, or after the fact, where a
performance problem is or will occur. Is it the front end of your application? Is the problem on the network? Or is it with back-end server processes. In addition to
being invaluable for QA, this important troubleshooting capability is also extremely useful for finding the root cause of performance problems in existing applications.
Deploy Applications with Confidence
With Shunra VE, you can answer all your key pre-deployment application performance questions, including:
- Is the application production-ready? Will it meet service level objectives to the desktop across all remote locations?
- What are the application’s production-related breaking points? How well can it handle production glitches?
- Will the next version of the application perform and scale as well as the current one?
- What changes, if any, must be made to the infrastructure to achieve target service levels for critical applications?
- Will proposed performance remedies actually improve the end-user’s experience?
- How will application performance be affected by periods of peak activity and/or other changes in utilization over time?
Supports All Critical Applications
Shunra VE provides application production-readiness testing for all types of applications and networks. It works for all IP-based applications – including ERP, CRM, SCM, e-commerce and email/collaboration. It can be used to test web-based applications, thin-client applications, and mainframe applications that use middleware. And it can be used for validating production-readiness for enterprise networks built with leased lines, frame relay links, MPLS, VPNs, satellite links and/or other types of connectivity. So, regardless of your company’s application portfolio or network architecture, Shunra VE’s predictive application performance testing will ensure your ability to deliver satisfactory service levels to end-users across the enterprise.
Easy to Install, Configure and Use
Shunra VE is extremely easy to install, configure and use. Most Shunra VE implementations are completed in less than two days. It seamlessly integrates with your enterprise applications and infrastructure – as well as your existing lab environment and methodologies - right out-of-the-box.
