Optimizing the quality, reliability and performance of your IT systems can literally spell the difference between your company's success and failure. ProTune by Mercury Interactive applies a consistent and holistic methodology to automate the process of infrastructure and application optimization. Using ProTune, you are able to isolate and resolve problems in a logical, systematic way before they impact end users and revenue. ProTune is the only solution that provides a comprehensive view of applications, database and infrastructure from a business and end-user perspective.

ProTune can help you:

• Improve performance and reliability across all tiers and components of your production environment
  
• Reduce the total cost of ownership (TCO) of your IT systems by eliminating unnecessary purchases
  
• Verify that new or upgraded applications and third-party services meet your business requirements
  
• Define realistic baselines for ongoing application management
  
• Re-use the methodology and expertise to validate and optimize capacity during new application or infrastructure upgrades

The knowledge and expertise in ProTune is based on thousands of engagements conducted by Mercury Interactive tuning experts. Their experience has shown that more than 70% of the time, system bottlenecks are related to a configuration or environmental issue rather than an application defect.

Flexible deployment options

In addition to ProTune, Mercury Interactive offers ProTune Delivery Service (formerly ActiveTune), an outsourced tuning service. We recommend that you start with a Protune Delivery Service engagement, then adopt ProTune when you have the knowledge and personnel to conduct performance tuning internally.

If you are looking to validate your Web site or Web application performance, Mercury Interactive ProTune Validation Service (formerly ActiveTest) may be the right solution for your organization.
