Predicting how your systems will behave and how your applications will perform under extreme conditions is no easy task.
First, performance is often tied to business requirements. Second, predicting what will happen is, well, unpredictable. For example, if your company has received some positive press your website may experience a surge in traffic that, though highly welcome, can wreak havoc on your systems if you’re not prepared.
For a retailer, things like the Christmas rush needs to be taken into account. Internally, a merger or the end-of-year closing could strain a mission-critical business application.
What you need is a testing solution that enables you to optimise applications based on different load conditions as defined by the business. Using minimal hardware resources, HP Performance Center can simulate the effect that hundreds or thousands of concurrent users would have on an application’s performance.
With this integrated solution, you can stress an application from end to end, applying consistent, measurable and repeatable loads, and use the data to identify scalability issues that could impact users – and ultimately, the business.
Identifying a performance issue, such as a slow-running application, is half the battle. HP Performance Center can also help you pinpoint the exact cause of the problem and fix it.
