Company has created an integrated platform to include hardware, software, services and delivery/integration partners

PHILADELPHIA - February 2, 2012 - Shunra, the recognized authority in network virtualization and application performance engineering, today announced a mobile app performance platform that delivers the capabilities, services and partner integration points organizations need to reliably test for mobile performance.

“The challenges of ensuring a positive mobile end user experience are now top of mind with nearly every CIO, CFO and CEO,” said Gary Jackson, CEO of Shunra. “The recognition that under-performing mobile applications are affecting corporate revenue, productivity, customer loyalty and brand, mandates a new approach to meeting performance objectives.  Now is the time for those organizations to develop and implement company-wide mobile application strategies and platforms.”

Shunra’s strategy to enable mobile performance testing platforms includes packaging of its mobile-specific capabilities, including:

• Shunra’s global library of mobile and broadband network conditions that provides average, best case and worst case conditions from cities around the world;
• Shunra NetworkCatcher Express Mobile which captures network conditions like latency and packet loss in real time from any iOS or Android device
• Shunra vCat and PerformanceSuite which leverage real-world network data to enable network virtualization within the test lab
• The company’s mobile performance analytics that automatically generates a performance scorecard, identifies poorly performing resources and delivers performance optimization recommendations that have been shown to improve mobile performance by over 40%.

“Shunra is bringing to market a strategic platform that offers integration between Shunra’s capabilities and best-of-breed products and vendors that enable mobile load testing, functional testing and application deployment capabilities,” said Jackson. “Over the next two months, we expect to announce a number of partnerships with solution providers and global integrators who share our passion and view on the necessity of network virtualization and the criticality of proactive application performance engineering.”
