Precise Shines Light Through the Cloud With Transaction Performance Management at VMworld 2010

First Transaction Performance Management Solution Co-Provisioned With Applications to Ensure Quality of Service

SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwire - August 30, 2010) -  Today at VMworld 2010, Precise announced Precise for Cloud, the world's first transaction performance management solution designed to ensure quality of service (QoS) for applications running on private cloud platforms at the Global 5000 and their global ISPs.

Precise has designed Precise for Cloud to solve the most pressing issues facing cloud architects and virtualization managers: application QoS, performance problem isolation, and problem resolution. Using Precise for Cloud, IT executives can consistently monitor performance, predict and isolate issues, and over time, optimize applications running on virtual and physical infrastructure.

"Senior IT executives have valid Quality of Service concerns moving mission-critical applications to the Cloud," said Julie Craig, Research Director - Application Management, Enterprise Management Associates. "Precise for Cloud delivers deep visibility to transactions executing in the Cloud from the perspective of the virtualization layer. Tight integration with VMware vSphere™ provides visibility through VMware vMotion™ migrations and automated provisioning/deprovisioning, showing which applications are running and where, and how resource utilization impacts physical and virtual layers. Precise can definitely be an asset for companies running public or private Cloud-based applications."

"Customers have wanted more and more assurance that their mission-critical applications can scale in cloud environments," said Parag Patel, Vice President, Global Strategic Alliances, VMware. "With the innovations in Precise for Cloud, IT managers can migrate their enterprise applications to the private cloud while assuring mission-critical quality of service."

"Virtualization and cloud computing have totally changed the enterprise IT landscape, offering greater flexibility of IT provision and lower cost," said Zohar Gilad, Executive Vice President, Precise. "However, customers increasingly require the ability to scale performance to mission-critical levels. Precise for Cloud is the only way to ensure quality of service for the core transactions at the heart of modern enterprises."
