Relocating an application or data center to the Cloud carries many of the same risks – and mandates the same care, testing and analysis –  as moving these entities to another physical location within the enterprise. It is extremely important to understand the effect of changing network conditions, such as latency, on system performance before migrating application components to the Cloud. By validating performance beforehand, organizations avoid costly production bottlenecks that can offset the expected cost savings of the move.

Shunra’s application performance engineering solutions allow the enterprise to plan migration projects and successfully deploy applications to the cloud by conducting pre-deployment testing and validation. Shunra helps identify any potential issues before a move is made and helps in determining the right plan of action to meet SLO requirements.

Shunra helps enterprises prepare for Cloud migrations by:

• Collecting real-world cloud network information over time, including latency, jitter, packet loss and bandwidth constraints;
• Replaying these real-world impairments in a test lab;
• Automatically recreating multiple network scenarios, including best- and worst-case conditions;
• Enabling a better understanding of the impact of data center location and performance on end-user sites.

Planning a Cloud migration with Shunra application performance engineering ensures that end-user experience is validated, mitigation costs are reduced and focus is maintained on other strategic initiatives.
