Austin, TX -- May 29, 2008 -- FiveRuns (www.fiveruns.com), the application monitoring and systems management company for Ruby on Rails, today announced that its Rails Application Management Partner program (RAMP) has expanded with new partners and the availability of FiveRuns Manage 2.0.

What's new in FiveRuns Manage 2.0
One year after FiveRuns pioneered Rails instrumentation and management with FiveRuns Manage, the 2.0 version is simpler, lighter-weight, adds monitoring support for more subsystems, and has new features based on feedback from customers and partners. FiveRuns Manage continues to provide the only complete monitoring functionality for managing the performance of Ruby on Rails applications and the environment on which they run. For Rails hosters and development organizations, Manage 2.0 enables:
Proactive alerts of potential problems before they affect your customers through customizable event triggers
Visibility across the entire software stack, to make sure you find and fix the right performance problem in the entire software stack (it might not be a Rails problem)
Simplified troubleshooting and forensics, with time-synchronized event data across the stack presented in a unified view
"The value we've seen FiveRuns provide is the ability to nip performance problems in the bud before they present themselves to the general public," said Jesse Proudman, CEO of Blue Box Group.
RAMP program enhancements
FiveRuns RAMP program includes pricing and service offerings for all types of hosters, from slice-hosters to full managed Rails hosters, as well as Rails development organizations. Key features of the RAMP program include:
Aggressive reselling margins, with flexible slice pricing for managed hosters
Free internal usage of Manage 2.0 for hosters and developers
Ability to offer free FiveRuns product links and 30-day trials to customers
Lucrative referral fees for Rails developers and hosters who refer directly to FiveRuns
Profiles and links on the FiveRuns website partner pages
No up-front sales commitments to get started
"FiveRuns Manage is the best companion to our Fully Managed Dedicated Servers, offering complete visibility of the performance of systems and Rails applications and empowering our customers with great tools to optimize and achieve great performance," said Maykel Rodriguez Rivero, Owner and CEO of SpeedyRails.
"FiveRuns' elegant and robust solution for monitoring Rails apps provides our clients key information for not only keeping their services running smoothly and quickly, but also a proactive tool to quantitatively evaluate when and what to scale up," said William C. Little, CEO of HostingRails. "We plan to incorporate this golden nugget by default into all our managed VPS and dedicated Rails hosting packages."
