Apr 1, 2005 : Keynote, Akamai Join Performance Index

📅 April 1, 2005 -  -- The Application Performance Index (apdex.org) Alliance announced on Friday that two new companies, Akamai Technologies (akamai.com) and Keynote Systems (keynote.com), have joined the group, which launched earlier this month.


Now comprising 13 companies, the Alliance was formed to ensure that Apdex, an index that evaluates user satisfaction with the performance of enterprise applications, provides a cost-effective solution to a wide audience.

"The support of these companies is a powerful endorsement of the concept of creating an open standard, promoted by an influential alliance that can quickly move Apdex into the marketplace," says Apdex Alliance founder Peter Sevcik. "We have reached the tipping point where Apdex moves from a promising idea to a market-changing force."

As an important player in the application delivery systems market, Akamai provides dynamic content delivery and application acceleration, delivering between 10 and 20 percent of all public Web traffic on any given day. Keynote systems is an application performance leader, operating the world's largest network of Internet performance measurement computers.
