A NETWORK
FAILURE COULD
MEAN THE
DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN
BUSINESS
CONTINUITY AND
AN UNPLANNED
SHUTDOWN.
Many performance issues can be
attributed to flawed network architecture
but identifying and fixing such a problem
is often costly and time-consuming. A
network failure could mean the difference
between Business Continuity and an
unplanned shutdown.
With this twin problem of shrinking budgets
and growing network loads, savvy businesses
are turning to the cloud to address both
issues. Cloud-based load testing creates
real-world scenarios by generating loads
from global cloud regions to emulate real
networks during load tests.
Experts agree that businesses need to
remain agile to scale up productivity
and efficiency.
According to Gartner’s latest performance
testing report: ‘Application leaders must
reduce technical debt and mitigate
application performance risks. They should
adopt a combined ‘shift left’ and ‘shift
right’ performance engineering approach
to build a highly productive software
development organisation.’
At the end of last year, Micro Focus
released a cloud-based load testing service,
LoadRunner Cloud. LoadRunner Cloud
enables businesses to plan easily, run and
scale testing in the cloud, without adding
undue stress to existing architectures.
LoadRunner Cloud can scale load testing
to more than five million virtual user tests
and create hundreds of load generators
on-demand in over 20 cloud regions around
the world.
As more and more employees and
customers are working remotely due to
the spread of COVID-19, ensuring the
scalability of your internal and external
apps is critical to handle the unprecedented
influx of online traffic.
Micro Focus is here to help by making it
easier for you to identify any performance
issues that may arise and ultimately ensure
continuity of service. To enable you to find
defects and pinpoint root-cause in real-time
quickly, we will immediately provide you
free-of-charge LoadRunner Family product
licenses until July 31, 2020.
As businesses push to survive and even expand
and thrive during these times, we want to
ensure that everyone has access to the tools
they need for Business Continuity. Micro Focus
is committed to supporting businesses during
this incredibly difficult period.
Cloud-based hosting saves both time and
money, allowing businesses to continue
scaling up without the money drain of
expanding their architecture. Moving load
testing to the cloud simplifies infrastructure
management, installation and configuration,
and removes the need for the management
