Quest Software Releases PerformaSure 2.1 Featuring Integration with Foglight for Accelerated J2EE Performance Management.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers IRVINE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 13, 2003 New "Quest Central(TM)" for J2EE (Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition) A platform from Sun for building distributed enterprise applications. J2EE services are performed in the middle tier between the user's machine and the enterprise's databases and legacy information systems. Solution Enables Application Support Teams to Reduce Time-to-Repair Window Quest Software The computer-software manufacturer Quest Software (Quest Software, Inc.) (NASDAQ: QSFT), headquartered in Aliso Viejo, California, dates from 1987. Quest develops, sells, and supports database management, Windows management, and application management software products , Inc. (Nasdaq:QSFT), a leading provider of application management solutions, today announced the release of PerformaSure(TM) 2.1, introducing integration with Quest's Foglight(R) application monitoring product. The latest release of PerformaSure represents another major advance in J2EE application A J2EE application or an enterprise application is any deployable unit of J2EE functionality. This can be a single J2EE module or a group of modules packaged into an EAR file along with a J2EE application deployment descriptor. performance management -- featuring dual-mode agent technology that enables a Foglight alert to automatically trigger deeper J2EE-centric diagnostics with PerformaSure. In a separate announcement, Quest Software launched the branding of this newly integrated solution under the name Quest Central for J2EE. New in PerformaSure 2.1 -- Dual-mode agent -- new common collector In electronics, a common collector circuit is a basic bipolar transistor amplifier topology, commonly used as a voltage buffer. In this circuit arrangement, the collector node of the transistor is connected to a power supply (a voltage source), the base node acts as the input and feeds Foglight with critical application server metrics metrics Managed care A popular term for standards by which the quality of a product, service, or outcome of a particular form of Pt management is evaluated. See TQM. for monitoring and alerting and PerformaSure for transaction tracing -- AutoCapture -- automatically start and stop a PerformaSure session through predefined rules in Foglight following key events or threshold violations -- Extended database diagnostics -- automatically launch Quest's database performance tuning Performance tuning is the improvement of system performance. This is typically a computer application, but the same methods can be applied to economic markets, bureaucracies or other complex systems. tools from within the PerformaSure tree browser to accelerate resolution of database bottlenecks -- FastFind -- quickly highlight and sort for the most expensive Java component within a transaction using intuitive "FastFind" feature in PerformaSure tree browser "PerformaSure has dramatically improved the productivity of my group and has enhanced application performance and scalability, which is important to our customers as well as our business. A performance problem that, in the past, would have taken weeks to resolve and would have required involvement of senior developers and architects, can be resolved in a day or less with PerformaSure," said Justin Callison, performance lab manager for WebCT, the leading provider of e-learning solutions to higher education higher education Study beyond the level of secondary education. Institutions of higher education include not only colleges and universities but also professional schools in such fields as law, theology, medicine, business, music, and art. . "We also use PerformaSure to proactively look for ways to improve performance. It allowed us to improve the throughput of our application by 100 percent with each of the last two major releases. Having the ability to integrate other tools such as Quest Software's leading monitoring tools would be very valuable in the work we do." Quest Central for J2EE is a fully integrated toolset comprising Foglight, PerformaSure and JProbe(R). Foglight allows the administrator to monitor a complex and 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 environment around the clock -- creating a highly efficient and proactively managed system. When an alarm is raised, Foglight then triggers a PerformaSure recording, allowing production staff to quickly take action through the "power diagnostics" phase of the repair cycle. PerformaSure is a low-overhead diagnostics tool for distributed J2EE applications running in a production or test environment. PerformaSure's unique Tag and Follow(TM) technology reconstructs the execution path of end user transactions, highlighting performance hotspots in a highly intuitive tree view to accelerate root cause diagnosis of unacceptable response times. When the application code is at fault, performance analysts can take advantage of seamless integration An addition of a new application, routine or device that works smoothly with the existing system. It implies that the new feature or program can be installed and used without problems. Contrast with "transparent," which implies that there is no discernible change after installation. with JProbe to drill down to the next level of detail, pinpointing hotspots from the method down to the single line of code. This completes the cycle of J2EE performance management. "PerformaSure 2.1 is designed to help application support teams reduce the investigative time spent between initial alert and root cause diagnosis of performance issues," said Josephine Coombe A coombe is a short, deep, generally bowl-shaped valley or hollow, see cirque. Coombe may refer to one of these places in England:
