Lumigent's AuditFlex(TM) Architecture and Exact Solutions Carve a New Value Niche for Customers
ACTON, Mass., June 12 -- Lumigent Technologies today announced an agreement to provide comprehensive performance auditing in association with Exact Solutions, makers of iWatch(TM) , the company's flagship performance monitoring system. Lumigent recently unveiled Audit DB 6.0, a database security and compliance system that, for the first time, supports all three common methods of data collection in a single, unified platform.
Performance auditing, the combination of these two powerful offerings, provides organizations the tools to audit data activity while also offering real-time performance monitoring capabilities. Previously, organizations wishing to monitor and protect their databases had to choose among three different methods of data collection: capturing traffic as it flows across the network, analyzing log files of actual database transactions or relying on the database's native auditing capabilities. With the introduction of Audit DB 6.0 and the AuditFlex(TM) architecture, organizations no longer need to choose one approach over the other and can, for the first time, mix and match the three approaches as dictated by IT or regulatory requirements.
Exact Solutions' iWatch, unlike traditional management tools, operates without the use of intrusive processes that could potentially interfere with the performance of critical applications. By using a lightweight, intelligent network capture process, iWatch captures a complete record of each and every SQL request, providing an unparalleled picture of performance from the application or end user's point of view.
Where traditional DBA tools typically use 10-15% or more of the available CPU resources, iWatch Query-level monitoring uses 1-2% or less - an important advantage for performance sensitive applications such as trading systems. This powerful yet lightweight process, with its minimally intrusive capture methodology, proves equally important in audit applications, when firms need to maintain detailed records of user behavior without the risk of degradation to their critical applications.
For customers of both companies, the partnership provides substantial leverage. Customers enjoy the increased deployment flexibility that enables them to tailor their audit solution to their business and operating requirements - while at the same time enjoying the traditional ROI associated with a world-class performance tool. In addition, customers avoid the necessity of installing & maintaining duplicate installations to meet their performance analysis and compliance needs.
"This partnership is perfectly suited to delivering increased value to our customers, taking advantage of our AuditFlex architecture to ensure data integrity and the attainment of service level agreement goals," said Cliff Pollan, CEO of Lumigent. "The strengths of Exact Solutions and Lumigent compliment one another, providing a two-stage monitoring and defense system against a whole range of risks faced by businesses today. From critical applications up-time, to internal and external regulatory requirements, these two technologies are a fantastic one-two punch."
Hardev Dhindsa, CEO of Exact Solutions said, "Our partnership with Lumigent is a real boon to our present customers and to a wide range of others. Performance Auditing will make it easier for organizations to find what they need - easily. Exact Solutions and Lumigent are both leaders and this combination leverages the strengths of both companies and the whole is greater than the sum of the parts."
Exact Solutions will exhibit at booth #3205 at the SIFMA 2007 Technology Management Conference & Exhibit June 19-20.
