FARMINGTON HILLS, Mich., Feb. 11 /PRNewswire/ -- Compuware Corporation's (Nasdaq: CPWR - news) e-readiness solution helps businesses proactively guard

By offering more than just online load testing, Compuware is able to provide unique value to companies seeking to manage high-volume and unexpected load situations.
As featured on CNN Today, Thursday, February 10, 2000, Compuware's e-readiness solution offers an early warning system for web sites that may experience hostile
activity. The company's QACenter and EcoSYSTEMS e-commerce products help organizations take preventive measures before a crippling event overloads their web
site.
Companies use Compuware's solution to simulate any type of system load, including denial of service attacks. Compuware e-readiness products load the web site
infrastructure while remaining close to the server under test, avoiding excessive Internet traffic that could potentially impact other sites. Using this approach, companies
ramp up their load tests under controlled conditions and achieve repeatable test results.
Once processing thresholds are defined, Compuware e-readiness products monitor the production web application, including all related servers (application, database,
web), databases, networks, firewalls and other corporate applications that are connected with the site. As traffic volume approaches peak processing levels, e-readiness
products proactively alert companies to take corrective action.
``The very public nature of the Internet means that every company with a web site is vulnerable to an attack,' said Doug Turner, General Manager, Compuware
QACenter. ``Companies that depend on the Internet as an important distribution channel need to know more than just at what point their sites will be overloaded. Taking
testing to the next logical step involves understanding why the site overloads under certain conditions and what actions to take to fix it. Our e-readiness solution helps
companies find their vulnerabilities and proactively monitor them to minimize damage.' |
