-- Retailer Holiday Season Preparations Start Now; Leading Retail Web
Sites Can Now Ensure Their Sites Will Deliver Optimal Performance for
Canadian Site Visitors
-- Blue Sands Technologies, a Leading Canadian-Based IT Consultancy,
Signed to Resell Keynote LoadPro in the Canadian Market
-- World’s Most Powerful Load Testing Solution Surpasses Important
Milestone of Scaling To Over One Million Concurrent Users
Keynote Systems (Nasdaq:KEYN), the global leader in on-demand
mobile and Internet test & measurement solutions for
continuously improving
the online experience, is taking on the Canadian Web site load
testing market. The company announced today the expansion of its global
footprint for generating Web site load to Toronto and Vancouver and
signed an agreement with Ontario-based Blue
Sands Technologies to resell Keynote
LoadPro in the Canadian market.
The timing of the announcement is important as online retailers are
already starting to prepare their sites for the 2009 holiday season.
Despite the recession, online retail site visitors and revenues are
increasing, as consumers flock to retail Web sites to comparison-shop
for the best deal. Additionally, retail bankruptcies and industry
consolidation have also resulted in larger load volumes for the
remaining retailers. These two facts make the need for accurate and
realistic load testing from the end user perspective especially
important this holiday season.
By adding two Canadian-based cities from which to generate Web site
load, Canadian, European and US-based companies can now assure optimal
performance of their Web sites for Canadian site visitors.
With the increased emphasis on Canada, Keynote is underscoring its
continued strong commitment to the load testing market. The Canadian
news comes fast on the heels of Keynote’s launch of LoadPro
2.0, a greatly enhanced version of the company’s powerful Web site
load testing solution delivered as a turnkey managed consulting service.
LoadPro 2.0 includes a brand new end user portal, an expansive overview
dashboard, complete and precise visibility into real time tests as they
execute and comprehensive enterprise-level account management. All the
new functionality is built on top of a dedicated load testing network
that generates unrivaled load capacity.
