PHILADELPHIA, August 21 --
- Shunra's WAN Emulation Solutions - Critical to Assessing Application
Performance Before Rollout - Now Available to HP Global Sales Teams
Shunra Software, the global leader in WAN emulation technology, today
announced that it has joined the HP Software Marketplace Referral Program to
accelerate the adoption of its WAN emulation solution, Shunra VE Desktop for
HP Software. This Windows-based solution tests the impact of networks on
applications in all stages of development by emulating a wide area network
(WAN) and detailing network conditions seamlessly during load testing. VE
Desktop removes the need to install load generators globally, saving
countless administration and deployment costs for HP LoadRunner customers.
This enables a powerful, integrated solution offering customers highly
accurate network performance testing through integration with HP LoadRunner.
Additional information on VE Desktop can be found at

"Shunra worked with HP LoadRunner customers on the integration of our
market-leading solutions to enable IT professionals to add the real world
network to their load tests, and develop and deploy truly network-aware
applications," said Thomas Charlton, CEO, Shunra. "This relationship further
validates the value WAN emulation provides to existing HP LoadRunner tests
and processes. We are pleased to be in this group of companies that can
provide HP customers with value-added solutions and services."
Shunra VE Desktop is ideal for development, testing and networking teams,
and anyone who needs to quickly check whether their code or application will
perform as expected once deployed. This complete picture of user response
times, load, and WAN impact provides the information necessary to predict the
success of application rollouts, data center relocation projects,
virtualization initiatives, and server consolidation projects.
"Businesses reduce risk and increase customer satisfaction by delivering
more accurate load test results that take into account the network
performance from global locations," said Alan Ota, director, strategic
business development, Software, HP. "The certified combination of HP
LoadRunner with Shunra VE Desktop for HP Software allows customers to deploy
network-aware applications for an exceptional end-user experience."
Shunra Software provides both hardware and software WAN emulation
solutions with market-leading best practices for application development and
network performance testing. This relationship provides IT professionals
worldwide easier access to a solution that mitigates the risk of application
rollout failures, which can be devastating to a company. According to
"Application Performance Management," a recent Aberdeen study, "Application
performance issues have a significant impact on customer satisfaction,
employee satisfaction, and brand recognition. Organizations also report that
these issues could impact corporate revenues by up to 9 percent." This
translates into millions lost annually due to application performance
problems that could have been easily predicted, analyzed, and repaired. The
Aberdeen report may be downloaded at

"Application performance is no longer a matter of availability," said
Bojan Simic, research analyst, Aberdeen. "Response times and quality of
end-user experience are critical factors in enterprise productivity and
consumer abandonment, this ultimately impacts the top business goals of any
organization."
