ALERTSITE LAUNCHES OUTSOURCED LOAD TESTING SERVICE
Web monitoring company offering full-service
web performance management with industry leader
Mentora.
BOCA RATON, FLA.
- (March 16, 2004) -
AlertSite, a leading market provider
of hosted website, server, and web transaction
performance measurement services, today announced
the immediate availability of a new web load
testing service. AlertSite’s load testing
services help determine how well online applications
scale under the stress of user demand.
The AlertSite Load Testing Service will be delivered
in collaboration with Mentora, an IT services
company specializing in performance testing.
The companies will work with customers to understand
their application and typical user workload,
define the necessary testing scripts, run three
distinct load simulations, and deliver a final
assessment report detailing the results and
recommendations. The entire service is delivered
over a 10 business-day period allowing for intermediate
tuning and adjustments.
“In keeping with AlertSite’s philosophy
of helping our customers be successful, this
is not a ‘do-it-yourself’ service,”
said Ken Gross, AlertSite’s CEO. “There
is a significant amount of expertise and methodology
required to have confidence in the results produced
from load testing. Mentora helps us deliver
that expertise to our customers with a very
customized offering designed to provide a consultative
experience and affordable prices.”
Extended Stay America, Inc., is the fastest-growing
company owned and operated hotel chain in U.S.
history, and is the third largest owned and
operated hotel company in the world. They looked
to AlertSite to prepare their website for an
expected boost in traffic as a result of a planned
national TV campaign.
“Not only did we get
more than expected, AlertSite’s load testing
gave us the confidence we needed to be sure
our website was ready for our marketing initiatives.
The consultants were great to work with, and
the interpretive report really delivered the
information we needed to see where we should
make our next improvements,” said Ira
Greenfield, Director of IT Operations, Extended
Stay America, Inc.
