AVIcode Announces Latest Release of Intercept Studio

Leading .NET Monitoring Tool Features Improved Usability and Enhanced Debugging Information

AVIcode, the leading provider of application and performance monitoring tools for the .NET environment, today announced general availability of the latest release of Intercept Studio. The latest version, dubbed Intercept Studio 2.3.4, delivers more user-friendly features, collects additional event information, and supports Windows 2003 SP1 along with added globalization.

"We've streamlined the deployment of Intercept Studio, making it even easier for our customers to start monitoring their applications," said Victor Mushkatin, CTO of AVIcode. "Once deployed, this latest version collects even more useful debugging information, and delivers it automatically to development and support in order to shorten error resolution times."

The latest release of Intercept Studio streamlines the deployment process by improving the delivery of monitoring agents to the appropriate servers. Once deployed, agents gather exception and performance bottleneck information as it occurs and report securely back to the operations team. This alert can be delivered via email, and Intercept Studio now offers additional fault context in its email to enable faster debugging.

Intercept Studio aggregates all exception information, and now enables users to find specific exceptions by type – critical or non-critical. This allows support and development teams to target unhandled errors first and explore non-critical errors to determine better means for handling or resolving them all together. In addition, Intercept Studio supports resource grouping by type (OLEDB, ODBC, SQL, Web Service, etc.), providing operations teams with a summary performance level view of the call stack, enabling faster resolution of performance degradations.

Event throttling is also supported in Intercept Studio 2.3.4. Intercept Studio intelligently detects spikes in events and automatically restricts alerts for similar events. For example, if a SQL server goes down, a large number of similar SQL exceptions will occur. With Intercept Studio, the alert will only be sent a pre-determined number of times, while the count of occurrences will automatically increase. This ensures optimal use of system resources while maintaining Intercept Studio's small network footprint.

"Intercept Studio bridges the gap between development and operations," said Mike Curreri, AVIcode's CEO. "Intercept Studio's ability to intelligently monitor and deliver critical information is helping make the vision of autonomic computing a reality. This latest release makes it even easier for companies to monitor and manage their in-production applications, allowing them to save significant hard and soft costs."

Intercept Studio 2.3.4 is available now, and an Operations Edition of the product is being distributed by Microsoft as the .NET Management Pack for MOM 2005. Additional details are available at www.avicode.com.
