A recent Shunra study determined the challenges that were most on the mind of performance engineers in 2013. Over 300 performance specialists were asked about their concerns and approaches to performance testing. Data center relocations and consolidations was the third highest concern when it comes to ensuring performance – 42% of respondents indicated DCR performance as a top concern. The only projects receiving more votes were cloud migration and mobile app deployments. One thing each of these projects, or concerns, have in common is the amount of planning that should go into them before any changes are made. On this webinar, we will discuss planning as a critical and invaluable step in the process.

Watch this recorded webcast as we reveal five risks of data center relocations, and what you can do to avoid them. 

With the release of the 2013 National Defense Authorization Act, government agencies and departments are tasked with identifying and updating expensive legacy applications into more efficient and usable technologies. While these upgrades are necessary to keep pace with a technologically advanced world, there is also significant budgetary pressure to do more with less.

Network virtualization for software testing solutions incorporates production network behavior into the test process, facilitating precise testing and analysis. This allows organizations to pinpoint performance issues prior to deployment, validate performance levels and SLO/SLA compliance, and quickly tune applications for optimal performance.

Following the recording, viewers will have an understanding of the essential capabilities for virtualizing conditions in a test lab, as well as a methodology to improve testing accuracy and reliability.

• How can we best face complexity?
• How can service virtualization lower testing and infrastructure costs?
• How does network virtualization speed up release cycles?

Federal IT managers and practitioners must think beyond simply developing on particular mobile device platforms or actual mobile device management. Care and consideration must be given to acceptable use policies (AUPs), rapid development cycles, security beyond the firewall, and performance: predicting, simulating and actively monitoring deployed mobile services. In prior segments of our Federal IT transformation webinar series we described how HP better supports standing up Government Hybrid Cloud environments, increases the underlying agility of application development and deployment, and the handling of big data associated with these platforms. One of the major factors that will determine how successful Government will be with Cloud and improving service delivery to their employees and external constituents will be their ability to support mobile devices. In this session, we’ll expand on our DevOps discussion, focusing on end-to-end mobile device performance, from predictive analysis for expected mobile application load across the cloud to simulation of that load and final, deployed, real-time monitoring of those services. Without comprehensive deployment monitoring and management capabilities Government IT managers and practitioners will find their services abandoned more often and errors more costly, initially report to them by their own end-users.
