Apica, a load testing and performance-monitoring provider for cloud and mobile applications, has entered into the Cloud Tools Program with Rackspace Hosting, a hosting and cloud 
computing provider. Apica is offering its cloud load testing tools through a free trial so that Rackspace customers can see how applications will perform under stressed load conditions. Apica, which only recently deputed in the U.S., also announced a partnership with RightScale earlier this month.
As more businesses move towards cloud computing, businesses need to test their cloud applications prior to deployment to ensure uptime and optimal performance levels. Testing cloud applications may reduce the risk of project failure due to capacity and load issues. Rackspace customers now have access to Apica’s products, which test, monitor, and optimize cloud applications to show businesses how cloud applications will perform.
