Original Press Release:
AVIcode Launches Intercept Studio 5.0
Latest Version of Leading Application Monitoring Solution Delivers Significant Enhancements for Troubleshooting, Reporting and Resolving Problems Throughout Application Lifecycle
BALTIMORE, July 16 /- AVIcode, Inc., the leading provider of application monitoring solutions, today announced the availability of version 5.0 of its award-winning Intercept Studio, a real-time, always-on solution for monitoring applications throughout their lifecycle. Intercept Studio 5.0 offers major new features and significant enhancements that provide developers and IT operations professionals with comprehensive visibility into .NET application health.
"As .NET applications become more complex, organizations worldwide are constantly looking for ways to reduce the time and costs associated with supporting and maintaining these applications," said Victor Mushkatin, CTO at AVIcode. "Industry research has shown that 80 percent or more of the cost of an application arises during its operational life, compared to its development life. Intercept Studio 5.0 includes significant improvements in its advanced troubleshooting and reporting capabilities to help ensure that application issues can be remediated as quickly as possible and development resources can focus on core application logic and development."
AVIcode Intercept Studio 5.0 helps to improve and maintain application quality, reliability and availability by enabling rapid identification of the root cause of failures, exceptions and performance bottlenecks both during development and in production. Intercept Studio is the only always-on monitoring solution that detects and diagnoses both code failures and performance issues concurrently within custom-built and third party .NET applications with minimal impact on system resources. Intercept Studio 5.0 includes significant enhancements and patent-pending technology for real-time, always-on monitoring throughout the application lifecycle and improves efficiency for both operations and development teams.
New features of Intercept Studio 5.0 include:
For Operations:
-- Incremental Application Dependency Discovery -- Intercept Studio 5.0 automatically discovers application architecture and provides information about all application dependencies on third party and internal Web services, WCF services and database resources such as SQL, Oracle and DB2. This information is crucial for efficient change control, release management and infrastructure dependency analysis.
-- SLA (Service Level Agreement) Monitoring for External and Internal Service Providers -- Intercept Studio 5.0 provides automatic problem attribution based on internal and external service providers. It tracks SLA metrics for connectivity, security, application failures and performance violations for all application service providers. Operations can easily access and analyze the metrics on the application dashboard screen.
-- Activity Monitoring for Business Transactions -- Intercept Studio 5.0 exposes metrics on the level of utilizations and response time for all identified activities, allowing the tracking of individual SLAs for critical business activities.
-- Application Monitoring Dashboard -- Intercept Studio 5.0 introduces a new application centric dashboard that provides a central point of visibility into application health analysis. It provides metrics regarding the current application load, information on top problems and breakdown of problems based on external and internal service providers.
For Developers:
-- Centralized PDB Management -- Intercept Studio 5.0 PDB storage provides support for storing multiple versions of PDB files and the ability to seamlessly integrate with application deployment processes.
-- Assembly Browser -- Intercept Studio 5.0 provides developers with the ability to browse application assemblies and quickly identify namespaces, classes and methods for monitoring. This functionality greatly simplifies fine-tuning of monitoring configuration for specific application needs.
Intercept Studio 5.0 includes extended platform support for Microsoft Windows 2008 server, Windows Vista, .NET Framework 3.5, Visual Studio 2008, LINQ, Windows Workflow Foundation, Sybase and MDAC as well as enhanced support for WCF and Enterprise Services (COM+).
