The time is right for Application Performance Engineering
The time is right for Application Performance Engineering. It’s a simple statement, but a powerful one that will change the existing application lifecycle management paradigm. At Shunra, we have been working hard, together with our partners, at developing and defining a new performance management model that completes the existing APM frameworks. This post is a [...]

Monday, June 7, 2010
My previous post about LoadRunner in the Cloud spoke about how Shunra™ for HP Software not only works well in clouds, but actually “completes the picture” for anyone conducting performance testing of applications that will be accessed remotely. I am not alone with these statements. SAP Labs, HP and Shunra are pleased to announce the availability of a new whitepaper, released today, June 7, titled, “Application Performance Testing in a Virtual Environment.”

Wednesday, May 19, 2010
HP today announced an agreement with Amazon Web Services that enables you to run HP LoadRunner v9.5 in Amazon EC2. The project is currently in beta, so it’s limited to the East US EC2 region, but does already include pre-built AMIs for your Controller (250 VUs) and any size of Load generator (32 or 64 [...]

Friday, March 12, 2010
Virtualization has emerged as one of the leading technologies in today’s market; enabling businesses to more effectively scale operations to meet demand while significantly reducing costs at the same time. Everyone seems to understand what virtualization is, but it’s actually rather difficult to define because the term is used interchangeably to describe a plethora of [...]

Friday, February 19, 2010
A couple of weeks ago, I posted a blog dealing with a global study of Internet speed, where it was reported that the US is one of the few countries where the Internet is actually slowing down. On February 17, the Chairman of the FCC (Federal Communication Commission), Julius Genachowski, proposed a decade long program [...]

Monday, December 28, 2009
Many of the largest networks today employ Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) for a myriad of reasons. So what are some of the key motivators that would entice an organization to make the leap to MPLS? Protocol neutrality, extensibility, adaptability and scalability are among some of the many reasons. Additionally, because MPLS was designed to openly [...]

Monday, December 21, 2009
One student at a time… Recently, I visited a company that develops and distributes software for Independent School District’s across USA. Their main product, originally developed for challenged kids, centers around dynamic computerized teaching and testing programs. This product proved to be so successful among this population that the company adapted it for other kids [...]

Wednesday, December 9, 2009
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 [...]

Friday, November 6, 2009
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 [...]

Thursday, November 5, 2009
In the previous post we identified the Wide Area Network and the impairments that it introduces as a key reason for why a local user (let’s say in NYC) experiences a faster application than a user that is remote to his datacenter (let’s say in Tokyo). I also presented a question to the group: “We [...]
