Fusion PPT, a recognized strategy and technology consulting firm, announced today the expansion of its InnovationLab to Europe, enabling global and geographic-specific application testing across federated cloud systems to improve application performance, interoperability and user experience.

The Fusion PPT InnovationLab assesses an application’s ability to run on federated cloud systems, determines whether the application can be moved easily between environments and evaluates how well the application interacts with various service providers and other tools.

With an effective implementation of these capabilities, organizations can share and move data or resources easily from one environment to another within the cloud. Without proper consideration of cloud portability and interoperability, organizations are exposed to the risks of inefficient continuity of operations between cloud providers.

“Many organizations today don’t have just one cloud environment and provider, they have multiple, and these environments often span different geographies around the globe,” stated Don Magrogan, CTO of Fusion PPT. “To ensure a consistent user experience, organizations need to understand if an application will work across these environments before they can deploy it. Our InnovationLab allows customers to test applications first, removing the risk of disrupting daily operations and ensuring they will meet the needs of the end user prior to deployment.”

The InnovationLab includes network and authentication simulation as well as application load and stress testing tools to closely simulate public, private, and hybrid cloud computing environments across the SaaS, PaaS and IaaS cloud computing models.

The cloud environments supported by the InnovationLab include Amazon Web Services (AWS), Windows Azure, Rackspace Public Cloud, OpenStack, CloudStack, Eucalyptus, VMWare vSphere and others. In addition, the InnovationLab includes a big data testing cloud with Apache Accumulo and Hadoop.
