2008-12-21
Savvis new SaaS enablement services customers can now leverage an
affordable, scalable test service to load and performance test web applications
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., December 17, 2008 SOASTA, the leader in
Cloud-based testing solutions, today announced an alliance with Savvis, Inc.
(NASDAQ: SVVS), a global leader in outsourced managed computing and network
infrastructure for IT applications. The alliance will give Savvis customers a
state-of-the-art, on-demand testing service in the Cloud, enabling affordable,
highly scalable load and performance testing of web applications and services.
The new virtual test lab will be offered as part of Savvis new SaaS hosting
platform and enablement services (announced September 29, 2008). For those
Savvis customers preferring to test inside the firewall, SOASTA also offers a
variety of virtual and hardware appliances with seamless upgrade to hours in the
Cloud.
Developing and bringing to market scalable, reliable applications in an
increasingly services-based world has traditionally been a time consuming and
expensive undertaking. As a result, most organizations do not have the expertise
and resources to test their web applications cost effectively. With SOASTA
CloudTest, any organization can easily leverage a leading testing service
combined with the power of Cloud networks for a "pay-as-you-go" testing service.
SOASTAs offerings provide a dynamically scalable testing solution to simulate
real world traffic and loads, uniquely backed by integrated test results and
analyticsensuring faster testing and more reliable web applications and
services.
Savvis has a reputation for being a pioneer in virtualized utility services,
which are evolving into todays enterprise Cloud computing solutions, said Tom
Lounibos, CEO of SOASTA. As a result of this leadership, Savvis clearly
understands the need to optimize security, performance and reliability
attributes, and recognizes the importance of scalable Cloud solutions to meet a
range of enterprise requirements. Savvis new offering, which features SOASTA,
provides a comprehensive and highly differentiated suite of enablement
capabilitiesfrom multi-tenancy and application fire-walling to software
lifecycle development services such as Virtual lab environment services.
With SOASTA CloudTest, we have further advanced our new SaaS enablement
solutions to offer our customers a complete testing environment whether in the
Cloud or behind the firewall, said Larry Steele, Technical Vice President, SaaS
Services, at Savvis. SOASTAs proven customer service and testing expertise
allow us to provide our SaaS customers with a turnkey testing service that
removes the need for an expensive in-house lab. We look forward to working
closely with them to help our customers explore the power, convenience and cost
savings of Cloud Computing.
Cloud testing is a great entry point for companies looking to move into the
Cloud as it replicates real world scenarios without the issues associated with
production, Lounibos said. Further, in this time of economic uncertainty,
companies are looking to reduce costs at every level. Internal test labs have
long been money pits. Cloud testing not only reduces the cost of testing by
about 60% but also provides better quality testing to ensure more reliable
production applications.
