AVIcode Releases Intercept Studio 4.1

Upgrade Expands Monitored Resources, Improves User Interaction, and Enhances Reporting Capabilities

BALTIMORE, Maryland, 05/24/2007 – AVIcode, Inc. today announced the release of version 4.1 of its award-winning product Intercept Studio. The newest version of the company’s flagship .NET monitoring solution offers upgraded functionality that expands monitoring support, and improves ease of use and reporting capabilities.

The only solution able to concurrently monitor for both application failures and performance bottlenecks, Intercept Studio is the most complete .NET application monitoring solution available. It delivers a comprehensive view of application health by providing a per application and system-level view of key performance metrics, while also correlating performance counter data with application behavior. And, Intercept Studio provides complete root cause diagnosis of application problems as they occur, helping organizations worldwide improve problem resolution and ensure application availability and reliability.

“Being able to effectively and accurately monitor and diagnose application problems is essential to application success,” says Victor Mushkatin, AVIcode’s CTO and co-founder. “These latest enhancements help Intercept Studio maintain its market-leading position as the best-of-breed .NET application monitoring solution.”

Intercept Studio 4.1 includes these enhancements:

• Expanded Monitored Resource Support – Intercept Studio now monitors calls to IBM DB2 data servers and calls across Windows Communication Foundation (WCF). In addition, users can now specify which COM+ managed code components to monitor.
• Application Topology View – Intercept Studio now provides a complete graphical topology that displays the dependency between components of a distributed application. Organizations with inherited applications or a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) now have greater insight and faster understanding of how their applications function.
• User-Friendly Interface Enhancements – Navigation between application, computer, and event views now requires just a simple click, and a direct link to MSDN is available that will automatically search the MSDN library for details related to the type of error detected.
• Key Performance Metrics Dashboard – Performance counters are now available via a graphical representation and easily accessed dashboard.
• Custom Reports – Intercept Studio now maintains a separate database for customized reporting which significantly improves performance.
