Marketing description

HP Performance Center helps you test, analyze, and validate your application performance against business requirements; and mitigate the risk associated with application changes, deployments, and upgrades.
HP Performance Center is a suite of integrated performance testing solutions that can emulate hundreds or thousands of concurrent users to apply production workloads to virtually any environment; identify potential performance bottlenecks; and help diagnose and fix the root cause of the problems. Using Performance Center, testing teams can stress an application from end-to-end - applying consistent, measurable, and repeatable loads - and then use the data to identify scalability issues that could impact users.
