AVIcode, a provider of real-time, always-on application monitoring
solutions, plans to preview its upcoming monitoring capabilities
for Microsoft Silverlight at the upcoming Microsoft Tech Ed North
America 2010 event in New Orleans.
AVIcode will preview its Silverlight monitoring technology during
the June 7-10 run of Microsoft's TechEd conference. As application
development teams continue to focus on delivering rich end-user
experience, Silverlight is emerging as a key tool in the .NET
development arsenal. Silverlight integrates multimedia, graphics,
animations and interactivity into a single runtime environment,
allowing users to have more interaction with online applications,
therefore increasing the amount of activity between the end user and
the server.
AVIcode plans on incorporating Silverlight monitoring capabilities
into both its server and end-user experience monitoring
solutions.
"Silverlight technology allows developers to enable a rich user
interface that rivals that of desktop applications, while preserving
the ease of deployment and support associated with web-enabled
applications," said Victor Mushkatin, chief technology officer
(CTO) of Baltimore-based AVIcode, in a statement. "With Silverlight,
developers can implement rather complex logic that improves a user's
ability to interact with an application's presentation layer via a web
browser. This shift to a more complex user interface further
exacerbates the already established importance of monitoring both the
server and client-side of web applications in order to truly assess
both reliability and end user experience."
AVIcode officials said the company's Silverlight monitoring
capabilities will enable monitoring of the execution of asynchronous
Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) calls made from inside
Silverlight components, overall load/initialization of .zap file
extensions and Extensible Application Markup Language (XAP/XAML)
and asynchronous call backs. In addition to performance metrics, all
exception information with complete call stack and functional
parameters will be collected to significantly simplify support and
troubleshooting of Silverlight-based applications, AVIcode officials
said.
"As enterprises start to adopt newer development and integration
platforms, to provide rich user interface for web based
business-critical applications to be used with various client devices,
the ability to monitor these applications becomes critical," said
Milind Govekar, vice president of research at Gartner. "Organizations
will have to invest in monitoring tools to reduce downtime, lower TCO
of the platform and to improve its quality of service."
In addition to showcasing its upcoming Silverlight monitoring,
AVIcode will also feature enhancements to its end-user monitoring
solution, Intercept uX, and integration points for both SharePoint and
application software quality and testing processes.
