Shunra and the Cloud – It’s here!!
For those of you following my recent posts, this shouldn’t come as much of a shock. Shunra now has an exclusive offer for beta tester of HP’s LoadRunner in the Cloud that lets them use Shunra for HP Software FOR FREE!

Wednesday, January 27, 2010
In a blog dedicated to Cloud Computing, published by InfoWorld, David Lithicum, the Cloud Computing guru, inform us that according to various published reports, the OMB (Office of Management and Budget) will mandate in the fiscal year 2011 (which starts in October 2010) that federal agencies not using cloud computing or making cloud computing part [...]

VMware is releasing a new technology, developed by Teradici that may greatly improve the performance of remote desktops, quintessence filling a gap in the Cloud Computing paradigm. It will allow the use of PCoverIP protocol instead of using slower methods like RDP. PCoIP is a type of display protocol used by remote desktops when doing [...]

Tuesday, December 8, 2009
The new buzzword around the IT block is “Cloud Computing”, the ability to avoid deploying costly infrastructure on each location by contracting a “virtual” infrastructure environment from dedicated vendors. Need to expand? Just call your provider and double your server capacity and triple your storage. However, we may need to apply a sobriety test, where [...]

As a corollary to last week’s blog about hosted load testing, I thought it would be interesting to explain a little about using a cloud-based test environment to perform pre-deployment testing for a cloud-based application. That sounds like a lot of clouds! What we are simply trying to understand is where and how to deploy [...]

My friend Mark Tomlinson from HP recently wrote an informative blog about “Understanding the language of hosted load testing.” The blog touched on two competing approaches to application performance testing that were referenced as “behind the firewall” and “outside the firewall”. Behind the firewall testing usually means testing in a lab environment such as a [...]

Friday, September 11, 2009
I have been meaning to address the impact that cloud computing has on performance engineering but haven’t had the time to rigorously tackle this issue. After all, there are serious implications both for vendors that deliver applications and services from the Cloud as well as enterprises that are rapidly migrating more and more services to [...]

Tuesday, May 26, 2009
I try to follow the trends in the emerging cloud computing technologies and see how this revolutionary concept finally settles into mainstream. Cloud computing has been the hot buzz for over a year now with everyone trying to innovate or get a piece of the action. A recent article out of CNET (article here) shows that [...]

Tuesday, March 10, 2009
The new administration plans to spend 19 Billion, yes, big B, to accelerate the implementation and adoption of electronic medical records. As reviewed recently by the Technology section of the New York Times, the logic behind such a large expenditure is that electronic records can lower costs, increase safety and availability of the records and [...]

Monday, March 2, 2009
I recently read an article that is probably one of the most thought provocative pieces written about IT in recent years. It is titled is “IT Doesn’t Matter” written by Nicolas Carr and can be found here. As you can guess from the title it lays out a strong argument that as IT becomes more [...]
