The CapCal Blog: CapCal Announces Support for Rackspace Cloud
http://capcalblog.blogspot.com/2010/07/capcal-announces-support-for-rackspace.html
CapCal Announces Support for Rackspace Cloud. We are proud to announce support for the Rackspace Cloud, which offers a number of advantages to our customers. It's the same ultra lightweight Debian Linux agent as before, but Rackspace offers more choices in terms of memory and CPU, including a 250MB version that rents for 3 cents per hour - that's 10 times less than CapCal agents on the Internet were paid before the cloud came along!

The CapCal Blog: Testing - the "Suite Spot" on the Cloud
http://capcalblog.blogspot.com/2010/03/testing-suite-spot-on-cloud.html
Testing - the "Suite Spot" on the Cloud. Recent announcement in InfoWorld represents something of a tectonic shift in the cloud computing world. With IBM announcing its own cloud to compete with Amazon and others, things will definitely be "up in the air" and heating up as far as the cloud is concerned (nudge nudge, wink wink):. Half of the enterprise entire tech infrastructure devoted to development and testing while 90% of the test infrastructure remains idle? For a preview, have a look at this. We wou...

The CapCal Blog: What's a Few Million Among Friends?
http://capcalblog.blogspot.com/2010/03/whats-few-million-among-friends.html
What's a Few Million Among Friends? Faithful readers will recall our search to enter the Guinness World Book of Records for running the first million user load test. We had a few takers but none with the kind of infrastructure it takes to handle 100,000, much less a million simultaneous users. Cloud computing is the ultimate game changer in this space, and the field is wide open. It's good to have competitors like SOASTA because it makes us aim even higher to be the best in the eyes of our customers.

http://capcalblog.blogspot.com/2010/06/web-site-crashes-related-to-world-cup.html
Web Site Crash Related to World Cup Soccer? News item flashed across my desktop in my Google Alert email about web site crashes and I found it both educational and amusing.

The IT Director at the travel site says that :. My response to that is THANK YOU MR. WAITE for publishing this little jewel and letting people know how you fixed it. If eve...Yes, ...

The CapCal Blog: Level Three Software Installation Nirvana
http://capcalblog.blogspot.com/2011/05/level-three-software-installation.html
Level Three Software Installation Nirvana. In the beginning was the floppy disk and all was well with the world. No software was ever installed that did not come from a floppy, even if it took 30 disks that required manual changing. Some of those people had used paper punches and teletypes before and they never missed a chance to tell you about it! So a floppy was “high speed data transfer” to them. Just when we thought that we had reached the ultimate level of Nirvana, an online bookstore and retailing ...

The CapCal Blog: Dealing With Surly and Downright Rude Websites!
http://capcalblog.blogspot.com/2010/03/dealing-with-surly-stingy-and-downright.html
Dealing With Surly and Downright Rude Websites! My favorite of all the HTTP return codes is 403, which reads like this:. The server understood the request, but is refusing to fulfill it. Authorization will not help and the request should NOT be repeated. The server understood the request but is refusing to fulfill it? That's it, no explanation given? If that’s not an example of surly, rude behavior I don’t know what is. Operations folks typically see a number like that and think it was defined that way f...

The CapCal Blog: A Royal Pain of a Web site Crash
http://capcalblog.blogspot.com/2011/05/royal-pain-of-web-site-crash.html
A Royal Pain of a Web site Crash. Tells us how the Royal Wedding brought the BBC website to its knees - didn't the Knights always have to approach the Queen on bended knee? Nowadays I guess the same rule applies to websites! We're thinking of offering Her Majesty and the Royal Family a free load test in exchange for a photo op at the Palace that we can use on our web site. Unfortunately she is not on LinkedIn or Facebook. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). About Randy Hayes, Founder/CTO. In March of 2009.
