Precise Upgrades App Performance Package to Include Cloud Systems

Application-performance-management software maker Precise on March 11 updated its bread-and-butter product that manages quality of service in data centers.

Precise v9.0 provides a single, Web-based control panel for application, database and storage managers to analyze data in transit, identify and isolate bottlenecks, and solve delivery problems.

The newest version of the product now allows IT managers to track data movement across any type of IT infrastructure, including cloud-connected systems.

With more and more data being processed and stored in private, public and hybrid cloud systems, the quality and reliability of the data movement itself has become a growing concern to enterprise IT managers.

The newest version of Precise enables IT service providers to better manage the quality of their applications during and after their migration to a cloud infrastructure, Precise said.

Key features of v9.0, according to Precise, include tracking of every transaction from end-users all the way down to the storage level in real time, providing full visibility of movement; automatic determination of transaction problems in Java code, database or storage; and a visual presentation of the impact of virtual-machine events on application performance.

Precise, based in Redwood City, Calif., currently has more than 1,500 users worldwide. Its products support all major packaged applications, custom applications, databases and storage devices running on physical, virtual and cloud infrastructures.
