May 21, 2001 : Teleglobe Partners with AppGenesys
📅 - As part of its next generation hosting initiative, Teleglobe (www.teleglobe .com), the e-World Communications Company, announced on Monday that it had formed a partnership with AppGenesys (appgenesys.com), a privately held Internet infrastructure management company, to supplement and reinforce Teleglobe's existing hosting services and significantly enhance Web site performance for its hosting customers.
Under the partnership, AppGenesys engineers and Teleglobe's operations staff will join forces in Teleglobe's Internet data centers and offer stress testing and capacity planning. Web site stress testing simulates web site performance when thousands of users access the site simultaneously.
The tests provide critical information about the site's reliability and consistency, in a laboratory environment, giving companies the data they need to determine and validate site design and capacity requirements before the sites are deployed.
Contrary to the industry standard, where stress testing and capacity planning are offered as separate and distinct services, apart from the IDC environment, Teleglobe will offer the service as part of its suite of application hosting services.
?We?re creating a new standard of performance for hosting centers by more closely linking the planning and operations environments for web site design and deployment,? said Luis Fiallo, Teleglobe's vice president of marketing for eBusiness solutions. ?Web site downtime is a serious problem. Industry studies show that in nine out of ten cases where web sites fail, they do so because those who designed, built and deployed them seriously underestimated the capacity required for consistent, reliable performance. Our partnership with AppGenesys strengthens our ability to address this issue.?
Teleglobe's 2001 next generation data center deployment schedule includes centers in Washington, D.C., Miami, London, Montreal and Toronto. These centers will offer customers dedicated, managed and application hosting as well as colocation services. In addition to AppGenesys, the company has announced other world-class partners, including Cap Gemini Ernst & Young, Cisco, EMC, Inktomi, Nortel and Sun Microsystems.
?Ninety-eight percent of the sites load-tested for the first time exhibit critical performance problems,? said Dan Downing, vice president of validation services for AppGenesys, ?and newly tested sites only scale to an average of 15% of their target capacity, according to actual statistics based on over 1000 tests conducted by Mercury Interactive. In sites we've tested, 80% of the time we find problems with the application stack, and our customers immediately see the value of testing when we expose and help them diagnose these problems.?
