AUGUST 6, 2008 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- The industry research and analysis division of Keynote Systems (keynote.com) will bring its "A" game to the 2008 Beijing Olympics, where it will monitor the responsiveness and reliability of 32 traditional and mobile websites associated with the Games.

While the world is watching hundreds of international athletes compete, it is also a global showcase for web hosts delivering news and information worldwide. Announced this week, Keynote will keep tabs on 12 Olympic sponsor sites, 15 Olympic news and information sites, and five mobile sports news sites.

Before, during and after the Beijing Olympics, Keynote will make itself available to media to report the latest performance data and to determine which sites take home the gold.

Beginning August 8, Keynote will be using its Transaction Perspective 4 product in conjunction with Internet Explorer to simulate a true end-user perspective of performance. It will also use high-frequency operational Web site monitoring service Keynote Application Perspective 5.

Measurements will be conducted every 15 minutes from 112 locations across 30 countries.

Keynote will monitor site responsiveness and reliability of news and information sites including the Official Website of the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games (en.beijing2008.cn), International Association of Athletics Federations (iaaf.org), ESPN (espn.go.com) and NBC (nbc.com). It will also monitor 12 Olympic sponsors including: Coca-Cola, General Electric, Johnson and Johnson, and Kodak.

In June, Keynote announced KITE 2.0, a new, web application performance testing environment that includes testing of web 2.0 and cloud applications to be released in August.
