SINGAPORE – Compuware Corporation has established a Philippine backbone test node to enable customers to see what their end-users are experiencing.
Slated to commence operational this July, Mark Hillman, SVP-Strategy and Product Line Marketing, Compuware Corporation, describes Compuware’s Gomez Web Performance Monitoring as “having the most flexibility, self-service control and support that is the only fully unified active/synthetic and real-user monitoring solution. It features an easy-to-use test creation, scheduling and diagnostics.”
Hillman continues that Gomez provides the visibility to rapidly determine if the root cause of a problem is in the data center, the network, a third-party provider, a cloud service, the Internet, a browser or device.
The use of the comprehensive testing network is to eliminate blind spots across the entire application delivery chain, he underscores during an exclusive interview at the Compuware Singapore office.
Organizations in the Philippines may log in to the Compuware homepage to conduct a workload test or an across browsers test, adds.Thiam Kok Beng, Managing Director-Asia, Compuware Asia-Pacific Pte. Ltd, as he comments, “We see a lot of market potential in the Philippines.”
For example, the Gomez Browser and Mobile Real-User Monitoring solutions measure performance directly from the user’s browsers and mobile devices, allowing him to analyze performance by geography, browser, ISP and device.
The technology performance company which provides software, experts and best practices to ensure technology works well and delivers value, has over 150,000 backbone and Gomez Last Mile testing locations in 168 plus countries and over 2,500 Internet Service Providers. It also has complete coverage across real-world geographies, browsers and mobile devices.
The Gomez solution correlates and consolidates information across the entire application delivery chain into a single location, the Gomez SaaS portal, Hillman explains.
Referring to a research conducted by AMI-Partners that reported small and medium-sized busineses in the Asia Pacific region will invest up to US$11.4 billion into cloud computing solutions this year, the two Compuware executives underscores: This shows the SMBs are in a fast track of transitioning into cloud. This will likely transform into a wider engagement of additional cloud infrastructure and application solutions for companies in APAC.
Hillman states, “We find ourselves evangelizing on what has to be done. A hundred percent of companies are already using cloud computing (technology) in some way, but don’t know it.”
He cites, “There is a huge shift to 3G capacity smart phones. People are changing fundamentally in their expectations. There is an amazing impatience. For instance, the abandon rate is four seconds.”
The Gomez Web Performance Monitoring is an on-demand Web and mobile application monitoring solution that enables companies to optimize their Web application availability, performance and quality of experiences, he explains.
The solution eliminates blind spots across the entire application delivery chain from the “First Mile” to the “Last Mile” and finds problems from more than 150,000 real-world locations at over 2,500 ISPs in more than 168 countries – and for every visitor to an organization’s Web site.
