Apica Launches New Blog Devoted to Excellence in Cloud Performance

Testing applications for maximum capacity, daily performance, improved load times, and peak load is always a challenge. That’s why Apica, a leading load testing and performance monitoring provider for cloud and mobile applications, is sharing its latest knowledge and thinking on the new Apica blog.

The Apica blog will focus on mobile, cloud, and web performance. Concentrated focus on performance monitoring and load testing in these areas will help organizations select and implement the best tools for the optimization of their cloud and mobile applications, preventing downtime and ensuring high performance. The blog’s inaugural posts include:

• “Cloud computing gives you a golden opportunity for capacity planning.” How the dynamics of cloud computing allow users to gauge their system’s limits through capacity planning in a way that was never possible before.
• “How to build your best test.” A step-by-step guide to setting up the proper load testing harness and determining the right testing methodology. In other words, why it’s important to test the right things, in the right way, with the right tools.
• “Why your media website should be optimized for the mobile web.” Why it’s important for all businesses, not just those offering e-commerce or providing breaking news, to have an optimized, rapid, and efficient mobile website.
• “Testing the cloud from above the clouds.” How Craig Irwin, Apica’s Chief Operating Officer and Vice President of Sales Engineering, performed a load test in an airplane 30,000 feet off the ground.

“This new blog will provide forward-thinking IT leaders with an in-depth look into the performance monitoring solutions available to support their cloud offering,” says Sven Hammar, CEO of Apica. “Our team of qualified experts will share their insights to help readers understand why high-performance web, mobile, and cloud-based apps are a necessity to every organization and how to maintain a healthy web and mobile environment.”

The Apica team will be contributing posts and multimedia pertaining to their individual areas of expertise. The initial blogging team includes:

• Sven Hammar, CEO
• Niclas Tollgård, Chief Technology Officer
• Peter Tollgård, Vice President of Professional Services
• Craig Irwin, Vice President of Channel Partners and Alliances North America
