Referral Partner Agreement will help ensure the delivery of the best possible user experience.

April 2, 2008 - (TopHosts News Brief) – Gomez, Inc. today announced that they have formed a referral partner agreement with web hosting leader, Rackspace.

Under the Referral Partner Agreement, Rackspace will use Gomez ExperienceFirst applications to test and evaluate the performance of its web applications, which will help ensure the delivery of the best possible user experience.

“Gomez helps us and our customers measure performance so we can continuously improve and deliver better customer experiences,” suggests Scott White, director of channel sales, Rackspace. “Working with this industry-leading platform supports our ongoing commitment to Fanatical Support. We believe that this service can provide our customers with a distinct advantage in web experience management.”

Rackspace customers will also have the option to use Gomez services as an addition to the detailed application availability and performance monitoring it already provides. These services help to improve the quality of the online experience by capturing and reporting website performance data. Customers can more realistically experience what their users are experiencing because Gomez website performance testing is initiated outside the firewall.

“Rackspace recognizes the importance of optimal web experiences down to each downloaded object and transaction,” commented Tom Meusel, vice president, worldwide channel sales for Gomez. “Delivering on this level of service requires a class of performance management information provided by Gomez. We look forward to a rewarding relationship with Rackspace for years to come.”
