- Shunra's WAN Emulation Solutions - Critical to Assessing Application Performance Before Rollout - Now Available to HP Global Sales Teams
Shunra Software, the global leader in WAN emulation technology, today announced that it has joined the HP Software Marketplace Referral Program to accelerate the adoption of its WAN emulation solution, Shunra VE Desktop for HP Software. This Windows-based solution tests the impact of networks on applications in all stages of development by emulating a wide area network (WAN) and detailing network conditions seamlessly during load testing. VE Desktop removes the need to install load generators globally, saving countless administration and deployment costs for HP LoadRunner customers. This enables a powerful, integrated solution offering customers highly accurate network performance testing through integration with HP LoadRunner. Additional information on VE Desktop can be found at http://www.shunra.com/loadrunner_integration.aspx.
"Shunra worked with HP LoadRunner customers on the integration of our market-leading solutions to enable IT professionals to add the real world network to their load tests, and develop and deploy truly network-aware applications," said Thomas Charlton, CEO, Shunra. "This relationship further validates the value WAN emulation provides to existing HP LoadRunner tests and processes. We are pleased to be in this group of companies that can provide HP customers with value-added solutions and services."
Shunra VE Desktop is ideal for development, testing and networking teams, and anyone who needs to quickly check whether their code or application will perform as expected once deployed. This complete picture of user response times, load, and WAN impact provides the information necessary to predict the success of application rollouts, data center relocation projects, virtualization initiatives, and server consolidation projects.
"Businesses reduce risk and increase customer satisfaction by delivering more accurate load test results that take into account the network performance from global locations," said Alan Ota, director, strategic business development, Software, HP. "The certified combination of HP LoadRunner with Shunra VE Desktop for HP Software allows customers to deploy network-aware applications for an exceptional end-user experience."
Shunra Software provides both hardware and software WAN emulation solutions with market-leading best practices for application development and network performance testing. This relationship provides IT professionals worldwide easier access to a solution that mitigates the risk of application rollout failures, which can be devastating to a company. According to "Application Performance Management," a recent Aberdeen study, "Application performance issues have a significant impact on customer satisfaction, employee satisfaction, and brand recognition. Organizations also report that these issues could impact corporate revenues by up to 9 percent." This translates into millions lost annually due to application performance problems that could have been easily predicted, analyzed, and repaired.

"Application performance is no longer a matter of availability," said Bojan Simic, research analyst, Aberdeen. "Response times and quality of end-user experience are critical factors in enterprise productivity and consumer abandonment, this ultimately impacts the top business goals of any organization."
