Sept. 24, 2013 - PRLog -- DETROIT--September 24, 2013--Compuware Corporation , the technology performance company delivering a new generation of  application performance management (APM), today announced the availability of Google Chrome browser agent technology within the Compuware Performance Network. This new Chrome support, combined with Microsoft Internet Explorer and Firefox, continues to extend Compuware’s industry-largest global synthetic network with more than 150,000 instrumented IPv4 and IPv6 nodes and end points. The solution is offered on a subscription basis via the SaaS delivery model for fast time-to-value and extremely low ongoing cost to own.

Compuware APMaaS is the only solution that enables organizations to both optimize user experience and manage performance, availability and service levels from a unified real-user and synthetic perspective – all within a single on-demand platform for fast and easy deployment. With the addition of Chrome, the APMaaS synthetic monitoring platform now provides coverage of more than 85 percent of the global browser market.

The performance of a web application can vary considerably depending on the browser type, its version and the device it’s running on. The Compuware Performance Network offers real browser technology, as opposed to browser emulation or basic HTTP protocol testing. The solution captures and presents the performance differences between browsers, desktop versus mobile access, IPv4 versus IPv6 networks and more. Measuring performance using Compuware APMaaS real browser technology is the only way organizations can truly manage the performance of mission critical customer-facing web applications.
