Altaworks Panorama software For software used to create panoramas, see . Panorama Software is an Canadian software and consulting company specializing in business intelligence. The company was founded by Rony Ross in Israel in 1993; it relocated its worldwide headquarters to Toronto, Canada in 2003. is purpose-built using Java technology to help companies monitor, analyze and ensure optimal performance of distributed applications in all stages of the application lifecycle, including development, quality assurance/testing and production. Panorama manages performance by measuring live transaction response times throughout the Web enterprise and correlating their performance with operating system operating system (OS) Software that controls the operation of a computer, directs the input and output of data, keeps track of files, and controls the processing of computer programs. and application metrics from critical systems, such as application servers and databases, in order to identify the probable cause of problems and avoid downtime. The combination of Altaworks Panorama and BEA WebLogic Platform can enable companies to realize the highest levels of application infrastructure reliability, system uptime and availability, and transactional performance. "BEA has taken a huge step forward in serving the ever increasing needs of companies building infrastructures for distributed applications," said Steve McCalmont, chairman and chief executive officer, Altaworks Corporation. "Because BEA has unified its software into a simpler, more extensible platform, customers can only stand to realize an outstanding return on investment. Altaworks has managed BEA technologies from its inception and looks forward to helping BEA customers experience the best performance possible from this significant leap forward in distributed computing (1) The use of multiple computers networked throughout a wide geographical area, or the world via the Internet, in order to solve a single problem. See grid computing. (2) The use of multiple computers in an enterprise rather than one centralized system. ." "BEA's vision of providing application infrastructure technology starts with BEA WebLogic Platform, but also relies on independent software vendors such as Altaworks," said Eric Stahl, director, product marketing, BEA Systems BEA Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: BEAS) is one of the major companies developing enterprise infrastructure software. BEA makes middleware, products that help software run on top of databases. , Inc. "Altaworks' unique performance management functionality, especially its probable-cause analysis, helps our customers ensure that BEA WebLogic Platform delivers the top notch performance it was built to provide." Panorama's patent-pending, probable-cause analysis employs Java-based agents called Data Adapters that collect performance information and data from the entire application infrastructure, including BEA technologies, Web servers and databases. Panorama's analysis engines then correlate this data and automatically identify the probable causes of potential performance slowdowns. This approach enables administrators to quickly obtain granular performance details, saving troubleshooting costs and resources that normally would be dedicated to manually finding problems. In a pre-production environment, this capability helps quality assurance and testing personnel identify performance problems as early in the application lifecycle as possible, especially before the application goes live.
