PHILADELPHIA, July 15 /PRNewswire/ --
- Shunra VE Desktop Improves End-User Experience by Assessing Network Impact during Each Stage of the Application Development Lifecycle
Shunra today announced the HP certification of Shunra VE Desktop for HP Software, a Windows-based solution that tests the impact of applications on networks in all developmental stages by emulating a wide area network (WAN) and detailing network conditions seamlessly during load testing. The interoperability with HP LoadRunner enables a powerful, integrated solution offering customers highly-accurate, network performance testing.
"Shunra VE Desktop for HP Software has transformed the traditional 'develop on a LAN -- deploy on a WAN' methodology by providing actual depictions of real-world network impact in all phases of the application development lifecycle, prior to deployment," said Thomas Charlton, CEO, Shunra. "End-user experience is a critical business driver for our customers, and Shunra significantly increases deployment success rates by analyzing WAN characteristics and impact on geographically remote end-users. Companies are now gravitating toward the requirement of network-aware applications at all developmental stages in order to avoid costly performance bottlenecks, time troubleshooting and rollout failures."
"Application performance testing labs are looking to lower costs, while delivering load test results in a simple, repeatable manner," said Subbu Iyer, Senior Director of Products, Performance Center and LoadRunner, Software, HP. "The combination of HP LoadRunner with Shunra VE Desktop for HP Software allows customers to achieve this and test network-aware applications with a WAN emulation capability."
Shunra also strengthened its collaboration with HP by joining the HP Marketplace Referral Program, which will enhance Shunra's collaboration in the field and accelerate the adoption of joint solutions.
"Network performance testing software interoperability is valuable within the application development lifecycle," said Joe Skorupa, Research VP, Enterprise Communications Applications and Infrastructure, Gartner. "WAN emulation coupled with load testing can provide application developers and network engineers the ability to develop more network-aware applications."
Currently, Shunra Software is the only company to provide both hardware and software WAN emulation solutions with market-leading best practices for application development and network performance testing. With heightened demand for network performance due to increased network traffic, Shunra's HP certification marks an important milestone in its commitment to responding to the productivity requirements of global IT professionals.
