Cloud Computing

From Wiki:

Cloud computing is a style of computing in which dynamically scalable and often virtualized resources are provided as a service over the Internet. Users need not have knowledge of, expertise in, or control over the technology infrastructure in the "cloud" that supports them.

Cloud Testing

In load testing you would want to subject your software to an equal amount of virtual users as in real production environment. You would then want to monitor the performance under the specified load, usually on a target-test environment identical to the production environment, before going live.

With traditional load testing the cost of building an environment and the priority of load testing versus on-going production tasks, are bringing decision-makers to make compromises and find less adequate solutions to the problem of validating performance under load and throughout time.

Hosted Applications Portal

Hosted applications offer numerous benefits, including: subscription-based revenue models, easier upgrade paths, reduced time to market, and more predictable costs.
CloudIntelligence offers a turn-key service to transform your packaged software in to a full SaaS hosted application by leveraging cloud-computing technologies.
