Fuerth, Germany - May 8th, 2007- the way a web site runs is often critical to the operation of a business, so it is vitally important that any problems that might affect a site's optimal performance levels are identified - before they happen.

Paessler's Webserver Stress Tool has been designed for exactly this purpose. It is a comprehensive HTTP-client/server test application that will simulate hundreds, or even thousands, of simultaneous and independent users. So demonstrating the performance capabilities of website infrastructure under stress. It will test under normal and excessive load conditions, thus ensuring crucial information and services are available to users at speeds they expect, at all times.

Providing detailed test logs and easy-to-read graphs Paessler's application means that analysing is easy, even for the lay person. And the setting up of tests is remarkably easy too. The application can benchmark almost any web server for performance, load and stress-tests very fast.

University of Edinburgh says 'Webserver Stress Tool is enormously beneficial' Iain Fiddes, Technical Services Manager, University of Edinburgh has been utilising the application and said, "The Webserver Stress Tool has enabled us to meaningfully predict and react to to the challenges of offering services to thousands of web users concurrently.

"In collaboration with other products and technical tools we use we've found the Webserver Stress Tool to be enormously beneficial, especially during high activity periods at the university, for example, matriculation, examination time and graduations."

Available only through download the application can be installed in just five minutes and works with all web servers. Paessler say it is the most cost-effective solution in the market for simulation of performance, load and stress tests for web servers.
