Shunra Software Releases Powerful Testing Package Reducing Root Cause Discovery Time from Weeks to Hours



PHILADELPHIA, August 12 - Shunra VE Application Performance Analysis Solution Provides the Tools Needed to Quickly Identify Specific Transactions Which May Negatively Impact Performance on the Live Network.

Shunra Software, the world's leading provider of network emulation solutions, today announced the release of Shunra VE Application Performance Analysis Package, a software solution available through both the hardware and software WAN emulation solutions offered by the company. This new package delivers a highly integrated solution for performance testing applications in a real-world network environment, identifying business transactions with performance issues and analyzing those transactions to guide performance improvement.

Shunra's VE Application Performance Analysis Package enables rapid identification of specific business transactions which may experience performance problems when running over the production network. During performance testing, automated packet captures are recorded for the transactions of interest. Automated analysis tools then provide insight into the behavior of transactions based on the packet flows involved in the transaction. This level of integration has proven to reduce root cause discovery time from weeks to hours.

The components of this package are generally used in tandem, but may also be used independently of each other depending on the application or service being tested for the network. Keith Lyon, Technical Lead for Enterprise Test Center, the technology center for a Fortune Global 500 consumer products company says that, "The use of Shunra VE products has increased significantly in our organization over the past two years as we find more value in pre-deployment testing over the emulated WAN. We've found that the accuracy of the Shunra emulation tools is at least 95% of our real world network. This accuracy, and the speed at which we are able to get the data, is critical for success and it is something we couldn't get from any other tool."

"The Shunra VE Application Performance and Analysis Package is a critical advancement in Shunra's support of building network-aware applications throughout all stages of the application development lifecycle," said Matt Reid, Shunra VP of Worldwide Marketing. "Clients are seeing increased efficiencies as they provide network performance engineers, QA analysts and application developers within their IT group the ability to avoid costly performance bottlenecks, extensive troubleshooting efforts and potential rollout failures. This new package identifies and analyzes specific business transactions that will cause end-user response time issues and provide actual depictions of real-world network impact, prior to deployment."

"IT organizations, working with additional resource constraints in tandem with increased performance demands, benefit when new tools integrate in a seamless and non-disruptive way," said Olga Yashkova, Analyst, Test & Measurement Practice with analyst firm Frost and Sullivan. "Not only does Shunra's VE Application Performance Analysis Package transform the LAN to a WAN for real world testing into the testing environment; it also uses tools and scripts that currently exist in the lab, allowing IT professionals to rapidly implement WAN emulation with minimal resource demand."

The VE Application Performance Analysis Package may be integrated with Shunra's VE Suite Appliance solution or VE Desktop Professional.
