I’ve got great news to share with you – BrowserMob has been acquired and is joining the Neustar family of services, which includes UltraDNS and Webmetrics!

I started BrowserMob in 2008 with the belief that a combination of cloud computing and real browsers wrapped up in a self-service model could dramatically change how people used load testing. Neustar shares that same philosophy and has built a world-class portfolio of cloud-based performance services that currently has over 3,000 customers. I’m most excited by this partnership because it means that we can now offer our unique services to an even greater audience.

A few months ago Neustar approached us and it was immediately obvious that our visions for website testing, development, and operations were very similar. For example, just like BrowserMob, the team at Webmetrics utilizes real browsers and supports open source and cloud computing initiatives. Even better, upon closer look I found that Webmetrics Load Testing and Monitoring solutions actually complement our own services much more than they compete. Joining forces made perfect sense!

While in the short term nothing will be changing, the long term benefits of this partnership will be an even better experience for all our users. For example, Webmetrics Load Testing provides high quality, hands-on professional services that BrowserMob customers will be able to utilize if they need extra assistance. And for monitoring, BrowserMob customers will be able to benefit from the massive infrastructure and capabilities that Webmetrics already has in place including a global infrastructure with agents in over 100 major cities. Similarly, we expect to bring to the table many innovations of our own over the coming months and years.

Of course our highest priority is you – our customer. I want to assure you that the quality of service you’ve been receiving from us will not change, and that 100% of our team will remain intact and dedicated to making you successful. In fact, effective today both Ian White and I are officially Neustar employees and we are committed to enhancing our solutions and your satisfaction!

Thank you for showing your continued support to BrowserMob. I’m excited to continue working with you and updating you on our plans for a fully integrated BrowserMob + Neustar offering. If you have any questions, you’re of course always welcome to contact me directly.
