Integrated Research's New PROGNOSIS Version 8.0

Announcement posted by Integrated Research 04 Mar 2005

An integrated solution for a complex computing world
Today's computer infrastructures and the array of applications they support are anything but straightforward. Therefore, an integrated approach to managing such a complex and diverse environment is crucial, according to the developers of the latest generation of performance management tools for business-critical environments.
Integrated Research (ASX:IRI), developer of precise performance management solutions for over 16 years has launched PROGNOSIS version 8.0, which it believes to be the most completely integrated suite of management software now available. Version 8.0 monitors, manages and maintains the reliability of today's complex and diverse computer infrastructures and applications.
Key changes include the all-new, roles-based integrated suite of performance management products for the Windows, UNIX and Linux operating systems, built to help organisations optimise the performance of critical business applications and the underlying IT infrastructure on which they operate.
According to Integrated Research's product manager, John Dunne, "The new role-based approach of PROGNOSIS version 8.0 has been specifically designed to be simple to understand, intuitive to use, and to provide maximum value to users. And maximum value can only be delivered by ensuring infrastructure and applications are allowed to maintain total reliability."
New modules and technology support have been added to the integrated product suite, which also incorporates extensive usability enhancements.
This new release adds DB2/UDB database management, Citrix and Windows Terminal Services management, along with J2EE application server management for WebLogic and WebSphere to the extensive list of technologies managed by PROGNOSIS.
Dunne said, "The support for these additional technologies has come in response to customer demand. We've focused research and development over the past year into making PROGNOSIS 8.0 the most comprehensive cross-platform infrastructure and application management product available."
