BlueStripe Software Continues to Broaden Its Application Service Management
Solution With Support for Solaris(TM) 10 Customers

Company's FactFinder offering provides process-level application visibility
and performance data to customers responsible for mission-critical
applications running on Sun's Enterprise Servers

RTP, N.C., May 18 /PRNewswire/ -- BlueStripe Software, the industry's leading
provider of Application Service Management (ASM) solutions for today's dynamic
IT infrastructures, today announced that its award-winning FactFinder product
now offers full support for the Solaris(TM) 10 operating system (OS). By
extending the reach of its intelligent application discovery and unique
service-level driven capabilities for application support to Solaris,
FactFinder helps customers optimize their infrastructure investments and roll
out new applications with confidence.

"As our customer base continues to grow, we have seen increasing demand for
Solaris 10 support and recognize the need to broaden our platform as the IT
ecosystem supporting business-critical applications continues to evolve," said
BlueStripe co-founder and CEO Chris Neal. "Adding support for Solaris extends
the value FactFinder offers to customers taking advantage of Solaris'
scalability and performance for critical business applications."

With the growth of SOA-based applications supported by dynamic infrastructure,
enterprises must take a service-level driven approach to managing
business-critical applications, regardless of virtual machine (VM), platform,
operating system, or physical host server. Only by managing the application,
not the systems on which it resides, can companies truly understand what is
impacting the performance of their critical applications and quickly take
action to resolve those issues.

FactFinder employs a unique service-level driven approach to application
triage, enabling users to follow the service level hop-by-hop across
application tiers, identify the offending server, and drill down through each
layer in the server stack to isolate the performance issue. It automatically
discovers and maps the application, highlighting process-level dependencies
from end-to-end, captures detailed performance metrics to measure the
application's health and performance, and provides quick triage capabilities
when problems arise.

FactFinder provides those responsible for managing business-critical
applications with the tools to measure application health and performance and
the ability to triage applications during P2V conversions, new application
roll-outs, and to manage and support production applications.

Availability and Pricing
FactFinder for Solaris(TM) 10 OS is now available. Pricing starts at $10,000
and varies based on the scale of the managed environment.
