PHILADELPHIA, September 30 /PRNewswire/ --

- Joint solution provides rapid test configuration and root cause
analysis of application defects without physical access to hardware or far
reaching branch offices.

Shunra Software (www.shunra.com), the world's leading provider of network
emulation and application performance testing solutions, and VMware
Technology Alliance Partner (TAP) program member, today announced it has
released Shunra VE for VMware Infrastructure 3. VMware provides TAP program
members with tools to develop products that are complementary to VMware
virtualization software and help deliver high-value solutions to our joint
customers.

"Shunra Virtual Enterprise effectively leverages VMware virtualization to
overcome the common hurdles in rolling out applications over the live
network. This enables customers to perform pre-deployment application testing
in a virtual environment which replicates their real world wide area
network," said Bernie Mills, senior director, alliances programs at VMware.
"We are pleased that Shunra Software contributes to help customers realize
significant business benefits of VMware virtualization, including lower
capital and operating expenses, business continuity, strengthened security
and reduced energy consumption."

"This combined solution allows our joint customers to virtually assess
real-world application performance over varying WAN conditions, quickly
configure test environments and reproduce defects without physical access to
hardware or far reaching branch offices," said Les Murphy, Shunra Software
CTO. "We are proud to be part of a group of innovators who are helping their
customers leverage existing technology investments to further ensure success
in their IT projects."

Both Shunra and VMware have already established close collaboration as
members of the SAP(R) Co-Innovation Lab, which provides a hands-on working
environment for SAP, its customers and partners. This environment leverages
partner technology, from companies including Shunra and VMware, to accurately
simulate real-world application performance in a secure environment. "The use
of Shunra's Virtual Enterprise solutions, used in the SAP Co-Innovation Lab,
together with the VMware Infrastructure environment, allows us to quickly
replicate real-world wide-area networks for third-party certifications and
other projects," said Joerg Nalik, PhD, director, Infrastructure
Technologies, SAP Labs. "The ease of use, speed of set up, and flexibility of
the combined solution has been key to standardizing and reducing the time
required for certifications taking place in the lab."

With more than 800 members worldwide, the VMware TAP program works with
best-of-breed technology partners to provide them a comprehensive set of
VMware technical and marketing services, support, tools and expertise to
