SAN DIEGO and MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Nov. 16 /PRNewswire/ -- Adding to its
self-serve, hosted e-Business performance management services, Envive
Corporation announced today that they are partnering with Entropia, Inc., the
company creating the world's largest Internet and enterprise distributed
computing service, to deliver a worldwide infrastructure for performance
testing and monitoring beginning December of this year.
This relationship allows Envive to leverage more than 120,000 PCs in more
than 90 countries connected through the Internet to the Entropia platform,
giving Envive immediate, worldwide points of presence to accurately test and
monitor e-Business application performance from thousands of locations.
"Other performance management vendors use servers in data centers to test
and measure performance. The problem with this approach is that it does not
allow for the last mile with users connected to the Internet using a modem or
DSL connection," said Jeff Tonkel, CEO of Envive. "By applying the power of
Entropia's Internet distributed computing, we are now able to offer an
accurate representation of the end user's experience."
Envive's customers will benefit from performance results that reflect real
user experience. These performance management services include Prophecy(TM)
for load testing and Sensory(TM) for service level monitoring.
"Web performance management tracking is best accomplished by two
businesses working together to provide top-tier industry services on leading,
powerful platforms," said Jim Madsen, President and CEO of Entropia. "Through
our superior software and integration services Entropia offers companies like
Envive some of the fastest global deployment times in the industry, rapid
application integration time -- measured in hours, as well as the greatest
number of computers on the planet running multi-purpose distributed computing
software."
Entropia's virtual computer, already capable of processing 50 Teraflops
(fifty million million computations per second), grows every time someone
downloads the company's free software. Entropia creates new communities and
unites people in their desire to accelerate important progress in the fields
of user Web experience, medicine, science, research and digital entertainment.
"We are pleased that Envive has selected Entropia's peer-to-peer
technology and computing network to enhance their e-Business performance
management offerings," added Madsen. "This compelling, emerging Internet
application provides for an innovative and cost effective way for businesses
to address their computing needs."
