The CDN Performance Analyzer visualized the dynamic nature of borderless application performance as seen by a geographically diverse user community. A reference application is deployed to a single, globally accessible hosting site. Web transactions are run continuously against the reference application using the Gomez Performance Network – Compuware’s global network of instrumented transaction agents. The data collected from these agents are collected and aggregated into a cloud performance database. The CDN Performance Analyzer enabled users to interact with the data from the Cloud performance database as part of a Marketing campaign for Compuware APM / Gomez monitoring.
Below is a video capture of the live site before it was sunset in 2014:
