Altaworks Files Patents on Breakthrough Software Technology for Optimizing the Performance and Availability of eBusiness Environments.Business/Technology Editors ANAHEIM, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 4, 2001 Software Algorithms Represent Industry's First Technology for Accurately Analyzing the Unpredictable Nature of Real-time eBusiness Performance Altaworks Corporation, (www.altaworks.com), a leading developer of performance and availability management software for application server environments, such as those built on IBM (International Business Machines Corporation, Armonk, NY, www.ibm.com) The world's largest computer company. IBM's product lines include the S/390 mainframes (zSeries), AS/400 midrange business systems (iSeries), RS/6000 workstations and servers (pSeries), Intel-based servers (xSeries) WebSphere(R) and BEA WebLogic A software suite from BEA Systems, Inc., San Jose, CA (www.beasys.com) that is used to deploy Web and SOA applications. The core product is BEA WebLogic Server, a J2EE application server. (TM), today announced that it has filed three software technology patents. The new patents represent capabilities developed for Altaworks Panorama(TM), the company's flagship management solution. The patents enable companies, for the first time, to accurately correlate live transaction response time with the health of the eBusiness infrastructure in order to avoid downtime The time during which a computer is not functioning due to hardware, operating system or application program failure. and lost business. The technology capabilities will be unveiled by John McGee John McGee is an Idaho State Senator, first elected in 2006. McGee beat an incumbent Senator in the Republican primary election and ran unopposed in the general election. McGee won a seat on the Idaho Legislature's Joint Finance and Appropriation Committee (JFAC). , research scientist at Altaworks, as part of a speaking session at the Computer Measurement Group in Anaheim, California “Anaheim” redirects here.

Altaworks' breakthrough software algorithms automate the most accurate root cause analysis of web-based, distributed application An application made up of distinct components running in separate runtime environments, usually on different platforms connected via a network. Typical distributed applications transactions and performance data. These capabilities are required for successfully managing eBusiness applications because they enable companies to pinpoint the specific reason or "root cause" of a slowdown in eBusiness transactions in real-time in order to avoid critical situations that can lead to lost business. "Altaworks' algorithms provide an unsurpassed level of performance management accuracy because they measure live data and automatically identify and adjust to changes that continually occur in distributed application server environments," said Steve McCalmont, Altaworks Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "No other technology offering allows for managing application server environments with this level of detailed sophistication so·phis·ti·cate v. so·phis·ti·cat·ed, so·phis·ti·cat·ing, so·phis·ti·cates v.tr. 1. To cause to become less natural, especially to make less naive and more worldly. 2. , flexibility and automation. Now, companies will require fewer IT resources to manage their eBusiness environments, realize huge performance and efficiency gains, and ultimately save time and money." "Web-based transactions do not flow through an application server environment in a uniform, steady manner, so performance management needs to be a dynamic process that accounts for constantly changing, asymmetric A difference between two opposing modes. It typically refers to a speed disparity. For example, in asymmetric operations, it takes longer to compress and encrypt data than to decompress and decrypt it. Contrast with symmetric. See asymmetric compression and public key cryptography. data," said John McGee. "Prior to Altaworks' technology, performance management solutions relied on static, traditional statistical measurement techniques and archaic packet analysis that did not automatically adjust to skewed skewed curve of a usually unimodal distribution with one tail drawn out more than the other and the median will lie above or below the mean. skewed Epidemiology adjective Referring to an asymmetrical distribution of a population or of data data and transaction loads. These approaches led to inefficient management and false alarms that increased costs and confusion." By accounting for unexpected transaction patterns and natural spikes in a distributed application server environment, the technology provides the intelligence to optimize performance and maximize the efficiency of transaction and data processing data processing or information processing, operations (e.g., handling, merging, sorting, and computing) performed upon data in accordance with strictly defined procedures, such as recording and summarizing the financial transactions of a . The patent-pending capabilities, including dynamic thresholding, adaptive metric correlation and histograms, were developed as part of core technology for Altaworks' Panorama performance management product. Panorama is optimized for IBM WebSphere(R) and BEA WebLogic(TM) application server environments to help companies that have invested in these platforms realize increased value and yield higher returns for their customers and partners.

The company's flagship product A primary product of a company, which is typically why the company was founded and/or what made it well known. For example, MS-DOS, Windows and the Microsoft Office suite have been flagship products of Microsoft. CorelDRAW is a flagship product of Corel Corporation. , Altaworks Panorama, was built from the ground up to give companies unprecedented visibility into the performance of live transactions and their supporting systems and applications. A first in the industry, the Altaworks solution monitors actual, live transaction response times and correlates these key indicators with the potential root causes of performance problems. Altaworks provides companies with the ability to efficiently troubleshoot response time problems and maximize their current eBusiness infrastructure investments.
