Eliminating the Risk of Delivering Network-Ready Applications
The transition from development to production is a risky one.
Distributed applications that look good on the developer's bench
often under-perform in the production environment. Even
apparently innocuous changes to an application can cause big
problems when they're introduced into production. These snafus
delay time-to-benefit, force costly eleventh-hour coding and
infrastructure changes, and undermine IT's credibility.
This transition is so risky because the development environment
does not adequately take into account the distributed nature of
the enterprise environment. In the real world, services are
delivered to geographically dispersed end-users across a complex
enterprise environment. The specific nature of this environment
- including the number, behavior and distribution of end-users -
therefore has a direct impact on application
performance. Companies often attempt to ensure the
performance of distributed applications in the real-world
production environment by over-provisioning capacity or
investing in various infrastructure enhancements. But these
expenditures don't always prevent performance problems or
produce worthwhile performance improvements. So precious IT
dollars wind up wasted and performance problems remain.
A smarter approach is to pro-actively model the behavior of
distributed applications in the real world throughout the
project lifecycle. Applied from early development and QA through
pre-deployment readiness testing and ongoing production
management, this best practice ensures that target service
levels are met reliably, consistently and efficiently.
The Shunra Virtual Enterprise uniquely supports this critical
best practice. It provides a precise replica of the production
environment - including remote offices, remote users and the
delivery system that connects them. By applying the Shunra
Virtual Enterprise throughout the project lifecycle, IT can find
and resolve application performance problems before - not after
- they are launched into production. They can better perform key
lifecycle management tasks such as capacity planning,
troubleshooting, impact analysis and the validation of proposed
infrastructure investments. In other words, they can take the
risk out of delivering distributed applications across the
enterprise.
The Shunra Virtual Enterprise can be effectively applied to all
types of distributed applications, including commercial
ERP/CRM/SCM, eCommerce and
Associated Websites
custom development projects. It can
support and rationalize initiatives such as data center
consolidation, SAN/NAS implementations and disaster
recovery. And it can ensure the successful introduction of new
technologies such as VoIP, video conferencing and Web Services
into the enterprise.
As technological complexity continues to grow - and as the
stakes of the game continue to rise - IT must eliminate risk
from the delivery of distributed applications. No one should
have to cross their fingers when they flip the switch on a new
service or infrastructure modification. With the Shunra Virtual
Enterprise, they don't have to.

empowers enterprise organizations and technology vendors to
eliminate the risks associated with rolling out complex,
distributed, applications and services. The Shunra Virtual
Enterprise (Shunra VE) solution provides accurate, highly
granular insight into how networked applications will
function, perform and scale for remote end-users. It creates an
exact replica of the production network environment, allowing
users to safely develop, test and experiment with applications
and infrastructure in a lab environment before deployment in
production.
