LoadGen Cloud Capacity
No load machines of your own? Rent them for the test.
Turn on Run in LoadGen Cloud in the load profile, choose how many users and where they start, and LoadGen recommends the number of agents and shows one price before you book. The agents are ready before your start time, the test runs from your own LoadGen Platform as usual, and the machines are deleted when the booking ends.
How a booking works
Turn it on in the load profile
Switch on Run in LoadGen Cloud, choose how many users and where they start, and LoadGen recommends the number of agents.
One price before you book
You see a single price for the booking before you commit to it, and the booking is paid up front at the price you saw.
Ready before your start time
The agents are ready before the test window opens, and the test runs from your own LoadGen Platform as usual.
Deleted when the booking ends
The rented machines are deleted when the booking ends.
What you can rent
Full Agents for sessions, web agents for browsers.
Full Agents on Windows for Citrix and Remote Desktop sessions, and web agents on Linux for browser users, by the hour, in Europe. Mix rented agents with your own in one test, or book capacity on the Cloud Capacity page ahead of a peak.

Mixed with your own
Rented agents and your own agents run together in one test, or book capacity ahead of a peak.
What must be reachable
Rented agents test what the internet can reach.
A Citrix Gateway, an RD Gateway, public websites and APIs. Your platform needs direct outbound HTTPS to the LoadGen Cloud relay host shown in the wizard, and nothing inbound. After you book, you see the public addresses to allow on your side.
Private targets keep using your own agents.
What your platform needsHow you pay
Prepaid capacity credits, in packs from EUR 100.
Pay from prepaid capacity credits in your LoadGen Cloud account. A booking is paid up front at the price you saw. Release it early and the hours that have not started come back as credits.
Renting adds machines, not users. Your Load & Performance Testing licence still sets how many virtual users you run.
What renting does not cover.
- Applications only your own network can reach. Rented agents reach what the internet reaches, so private targets keep using agents in your environment.
- Monitoring. Monitoring agents are always your own, in your cloud or on-premises.
- Your infrastructure altogether. You still run a LoadGen Platform, sign in to LoadGen Cloud, and point the test at a target the agents can reach.
Availability. LoadGen Cloud Capacity arrives with an upcoming LoadGen Platform release. Talk to us about booking capacity for your next test, and we will tell you exactly where it stands for your platform.
Tell us the test, and we will tell you what it takes.
Bring the target, the user count and the window. We size the agents with you and show the price before anything is booked.
