PALO ALTO, Calif.—July 17, 2012—Apica, a leading load testing and performance monitoring provider for cloud and mobile applications, today announced its performance monitoring resources are now available for data centers utilizing on-premise IaaS from Eucalyptus Systems. Customers can test their web and mobile applications launched in Eucalyptus cloud environments for maximum capacity, daily performance, improved load times, and protection from peak loads. This announcement extends the capability of Apica’s performance monitoring and testing services to Eucalyptus customers, while allowing the company to offer a more comprehensive solution to the market.
“By enabling organizations to leverage pre-existing hardware to create their own on-premise Infrastructure as a Service clouds, Eucalyptus is an appealing partner for organizations looking for flexibility, compatibility and durability to build, test, and launch web and mobile applications,” said Sven Hammar, CEO of Apica. “Eucalyptus customers now have the advantage of Apica’s load testing and monitoring solutions to optimize the performance of their applications and avoid the load delays or other performance issues that could put a damper on their next big release. Our solutions will help customers fully realize the benefits that come with deploying their own on-premise cloud.”
Eucalyptus is the world's most widely deployed software platform for on-premise Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) clouds. It uses existing infrastructure to create a scalable, secure web services layer that abstracts compute, network and storage to offer IaaS. Eucalyptus takes advantage of modern infrastructure virtualization software to create elastic pools that can be dynamically scaled up or down depending on application workloads. Eucalyptus web services are uniquely designed for hybrid clouds using the Amazon Web Services (AWS) API. The benefits are highly efficient scalability, increased trust and control for IT as a Service.
“Eucalyptus empowers customers with an open, scalable and flexible on-premise cloud platform for their business applications,” said David Butler, Senior Vice President of Marketing at Eucalyptus. “Apica can now provide customers with critical load testing and performance monitoring capabilities within a Eucalyptus cloud, allowing users to drive maximum capacity, scalability and responsiveness of their applications.”
