New Delhi, May 21 2013 - Research has shown that even minor delays to website response times can have a sizable impact on customer satisfaction, page views, conversion rates and site abandonment[1]. Despite this, an astonishing percentage of organizations (32%) do not or don’t know if their website is monitored on a 24x7 basis. That’s according to an independent global research study undertaken by Vanson Bourne and commissioned by Borland, a Micro Focus company (LSE: MCRO.L).
Proving that many organizations still haven’t got the basics covered since the birth of first generation websites in the mid 1990s, a shocking 26% of CIOs from 590 organizations across the globe admitted they are not or don’t know if they are monitoring response times for mission-critical transactions. These include transactions such as shopping cart and database record retrieval on their websites. Financial services, retail and media, leisure and entertainment companies all confess to poor figures given they would typically have large scale e-commerce transactions, with 23%, 24% and 25% respectively.
80% risk customer experience and satisfaction
When it comes to trouble-shooting:
• 72% of respondents confirmed they are not always alerted at the first sign of a problem on their web services
• 80% are not always able to resolve a problem on their web services before a customer becomes aware of it. From a sector perspective, media, leisure and entertainment companies and financial services organizations are the worst culprits, with 90% and 87% respectively
The situation is even worse for web apps on mobile
• 34% of CIOs are not tracking how quickly their own website loads on mobile devices and 36% are not tracking how quickly their web application loads on mobile devices
• That’s despite the research respondents confirming they would only wait an average of seven seconds before abandoning a website due to lack of responsiveness
Testing and preparing for heavy traffic peaks is poor
Although 79% of CIOs are conscious of the events that drive peak traffic volumes, such as seasonal events or holiday periods, 44% do not simulate website performance with heavy load testing to see if they can handle the increased pressure on their websites. This is compounded by a communication breakdown between marketing and IT departments:
• 69% of CIOs are not made aware of their marketing department plans well ahead of schedule, which means they can’t plan for and test to ensure optimum website performance
• 73% of respondents are not always made aware of specific launches before they happen
Archie Roboostoff, Borland Solutions Portfolio Director, at Micro Focus, said: “Users have very little truck with poor performing websites today so these insights are pretty astonishing. 88% of online visitors are less likely to return to a site after a bad experience[i] so taking a passive approach to website performance is a massive risk to reputation, and for e-commerce sites, revenue too. It just goes to show that a solid performing website is still a competitive advantage, and that any company delivering an equally good web experience on mobile is likely to win the customer retention and acquisition battle.”
Nitin Dang, Country General Manager, Micro Focus, India and SAARC, said: “With the patience level of consumers declining with each step forward in technology, it is now becoming vital for businesses to ensure they test their websites on multiple platforms. With the trend demanding online presence, putting in the groundwork for robust performance is crucial to offer a rich and seamless experience the customers and in turn take full advantage of peak shopping periods through the year. The Silk product set are an easy to use, full functional set of interfaces (clients), which enables you to perform automated functional testing in a variety of development environments and programming languages. They are an efficient, cost-effective way to ensure your mission-critical applications meet performance expectations and service-level requirements.”

Jelastic, Inc., today announced the launch of a new version of its ultra-scalable cloud hosting platform. The new version, Jelastic 1.9.1, features a CRON scheduler, the ability to schedule database backups, and the latest versions of software stacks (including PostgreSQL 9.2.4).
Jelastic offers a fundamentally new approach to Java and PHP hosting: no need to learn custom systems or recode applications in order to deploy. Jelastic is the first cloud platform that can run and scale any Java or PHP application without any code changes.
The newly launched Jelastic 1.9.1 has a number of new features and improvements.
- Regulating the sequence of balance charging
- Config manager improvement
- PostgreSQL 9.2.4 support
- CRON Scheduler
- Scheduling backups for end user DBs
- Cutting database tables
- Notification about running out of resources (Mem, Disk, CPU)
- NetBeans IDE Plugin
- Generating direct URL for solution deploy
- Software Stacks Versions
Users of Jelastic 1.9.1 get access for each node configuration files and can choose to configure all the servers together or just a specific one.
Dmitry Sotnikov, Jelastic COO said, "Jelastic 1.9.1 features CRON scheduler, which allows users to schedule jobs to run periodically at certain times or dates. They can also run programs at a specified time with a help of scheduler, which receives instructions and performs any tasks following derived scenarios. Users can also backup databases or specific tables right from the configuration files. Jelastic assures that all data is being saved periodically and can be restored or reused."
Another new feature of Jelastic 1.9.1 is a notification about running out of resources. When the traffic grows an application requests more resources for normal work. If the limits selected are too low, this can lead to the failure in the app performance. For such cases the notification about running out of resources is implemented.
Now even more software stacks are supported including PostgreSQL 9.2.4 which provides:
- synchronous and cascading replication
- unlogged tables, per-column
- collations, and much more
The PosGIS module has also been enabled. It is a spatial database extender for PostgreSQL object-relational database. It adds support for geographic objects allowing location queries to be run in SQL.
Jelastic 1.9.1 is already available through a selection of web hosting providers world-wide. To see the list of partners, please visit http://jelastic.com/partners or sign up now for free at http://jelastic.com.

Neimat’s pioneering roles at Oracle and TimesTen with in-memory relational databases will help Aerospike drive the next generation of hybrid in-memory and flash databases
Mountain View, CA – May 20, 2013 – The big data discussion is shifting to “fast data” as more companies seek to harness the unprecedented volumes of information being generated at high velocity via Web, social and mobile interactions and sensors. These businesses are rolling out new applications that respond immediately to what people, devices and systems are doing now. In turn, this is driving the demand for a new class of highly distributed in-memory databases that also are optimized for fast, stable flash-based storage.
In the wake of this fast data wave, Aerospike, Inc. (http://Aerospike.com) has attracted in-memory database pioneer Marie-Anne Neimat to join the real-time database company as an advisor. Ms. Neimat co-founded TimesTen, Inc. the first company to develop and commercialize an in-memory relational database. Most recently, she served as vice president of engineering for three of Oracle’s databases, including TimesTen, which Oracle acquired. Bringing a track record of database innovation and deep insight into CIOs’ demands, she will play a strategic role in helping Aerospike to build on its technology leadership and rapid market adoption.
The Future of Fast Data in Production Today
Already, customers (http://www.aerospike.com/why-aerospike/customers/) have the enterprise-grade Aerospike real-time hybrid DRAM and flash memory database (http://www.aerospike.com/performance/architecture/) in production supporting fast data applications within some of the world’s most data-intensive environments. These companies’ real-time big data platforms rely on Aerospike to consistently respond within milliseconds, even while scaling to hundreds of thousands of transactions per second (TPS) and managing billions of objects and terabytes of data—all with 100% uptime.
“The ubiquity of smart devices is heralding a new era of fast data where the value of applications lies in the ability to sense and respond to Internet-scale data in real time. However, it is also challenging databases to cost-effectively and reliably deliver speed at scale,” Ms. Neimat observed. “Aerospike is at the forefront of the database revolution in addressing this challenge with a unique hybrid memory approach and scale-up/scale-out architecture that is deployed at dozens of Internet-scale sites today. I’m excited to join the Aerospike team in building on this tremendous momentum.”
Joining Forces With In-Memory Database Innovator
Marie-Anne Neimat was at Oracle Corporation where she most recently served as vice president of development for three database products: Oracle TimesTen In-Memory Database, Oracle Berkeley Database, and Oracle NoSQL Database. Prior to joining Oracle, Ms. Neimat was co-founder of TimesTen, Inc. the first company to develop and commercialize an in-memory relational database. There, she served as vice president of engineering and board member, and in 2004 she was recognized on the Fast Company Fast 50 list of ordinary people doing extraordinary things. TimesTen, Inc. was acquired by Oracle in 2005. Prior to founding her own company, Ms. Neimat worked at HP Labs where she managed several database research projects. Ms. Neimat holds a BSC in mathematics from Stanford University and a PhD in computer science from UC Berkeley. She holds several patents and is the author of many publications in refereed conferences and journals.
“It is a deep honor to have Marie-Anne join us as an advisor. With her roles in leading in-memory database design at Oracle and TimesTen, she brings valuable insights into the data demands facing CTOs today, and a track record of success in growing database adoption,” said Bruce Fram, Aerospike CEO. “With Marie-Anne joining Don Haderle, father of IBM DB2, and Roger Sippl, Informix founder and Silicon Valley pioneer, we have an incredible advisory board with an unmatched breadth and depth of experience. These advisors, along with the technology rock stars driving our database development, are solidly positioning us to lead the fast data revolution being fueled by the Internet economy.”

Tel-Aviv, May 16, 2013 – Typemock, (http://www.typemock.com/) the leading provider and pioneer of automated unit testing solutions held a corporate event to celebrate eight years since its founding. CEO Eli Lopian addressed the gathering and laid out his thoughts on the necessity of unit testing in software development: “Any software programmer that does not do unit testing is a reckless coder”, declared Lopian. “Unit testing is an essential part of any software development process. It allows you to deliver working code, with fewer bugs, faster. Typemock has made huge advances with its automated unit testing tools in the past eight years. The old arguments that unit testing is too hard no longer apply!”
Lopian noted that Agile Software Development has become widely accepted in recent years, but that some programmers still insist that unit testing is not an integral part of the Agile process. Lopian argues this point: “Without unit testing you may think you are Agile, you may be running fast but you are not healthy, you won’t be able to keep up to speed. Sooner or later, you, or even worse: your customers, will start finding bugs which will compel you to introduce changes to what is now legacy code - without any tests to show you what you’ve done wrong. In today’s hyper-competitive market, corporations cannot afford the resource and time drain of having to re-write their entire code every few years due to code decay.”
Lopian predicted that in the coming years all software will be developed with unit testing. He hopes the change will come from industry-made regulations similar to ISO, so that “software safety standards” will be in place. “As a developer myself, I have a dream”, Lopian ended, “that programmers will take the leap and become agile – really agile! This means not being afraid of legacy code, this means being proud of the software they've created, and this means building usable and sustainable code for millions of users. All this is within everyone's reach right now – with unit testing”.
About Eli Lopian
Eli founded Typemock in 2004 and serves as its CEO. A well-known figure in the agile and test driven development (TDD) arenas, Eli has over 17 years of R&D experience at large companies such as AMDOCS (NYSE:DOX) and Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC). In his previous roles, prior to founding Typemock, Eli was responsible for optimizing the development process and led the transformation of the development environment to support efficient processes and tools.
About Typemock
