uptime software Delivers Next-Generation VMware Monitoring and Reporting

TORONTO, Jun 24 (MARKET WIRE) --
Today uptime software announced the latest version of its popular,
value-based systems management software, up.time 5. Through close
collaboration with VMware and its vSphere(R) and vCenter Orchestrator(R)
offerings, up.time's new capabilities aspire to change the way
enterprises manage, measure, and monitor their VMware infrastructure.

up.time represents a quantum leap forward for companies that need to drive
both performance and cost-savings from their VMware infrastructure, while
ensuring a consistent quality of service. It does this by providing IT
managers with an unobstructed view of the datacenter to efficiently manage
distributed applications and global services levels, while maximizing
enterprise-wide IT resources. The solution's ability to span both physical
and virtual realms has helped hundreds of customers achieve new levels of
performance and render immediate cost savings. QuickPlay Media, a customer
dedicated to providing solutions that manage the business of mobile video
for the world's leading communications providers, is one example.

"In our business having the ability to easily monitor our infrastructure
and applications from a common vantage point is essential," said Dan
Labelle, IT Operations Manager, QuickPlay Media. "Since day one we've been
impressed with the functionality and continued support for our BEA
applications and VMware tools. Aside from the value derived from the
specific features, the product is easy to use and administer -- our
upgrade from up.time 4 to version 5 was seamless and took only 10 minutes
to complete."

The new capabilities announced today -- advanced visibility, deep VMware
metrics and reporting, automated problem resolution and incidence
avoidance -- raise the bar for managing VMware performance with:

-- Increased VMware efficiency though dramatic increases in VM density
and optimized VM workloads.
-- Automated incidence avoidance that reduces manual find/fix by
automatically heading off reoccurring problems before they happen. Deep and
seamless integration with VMware vCenter Orchestrator(R) makes building out
automated problem avoidance workflows easy, providing advanced capabilities
for SMB and Enterprise companies. This dramatically reduces Mean-Time-To-
Repair and required resources, while increasing performance and
productivity.
-- Fast problem isolation and resolution through intelligent alerting,
easy pinpointing of root cause, and automated actions that can eliminate
recurring outages in the future.
-- Rapid VMware infrastructure growth requiring fewer resources by
delivering an easy-to-use consolidation, monitoring, optimization, and
automation solution, all while helping reduce VM sprawl.
-- Improved visibility and manageability of the entire infrastructure
from a single console, including virtual and physical infrastructures and
applications, and across multiple datacenters.

"The new version of up.time combines several unique attributes into an
easy-to-use enterprise monitoring package," said Bernd Harzog, former
Gartner analyst and current CEO of APM Experts. "up.time supports a broad
array of physical infrastructure in IT, while also providing advanced and
unique VMware specific features. This deeper integration with VMware
vSphere, including automated problem resolution and automated problem
avoidance, will help customers who need to leverage VMware but want to
manage other systems (Windows, Unix, etc) with one tool as well."

An enterprise version of up.time is available for a risk-free 30 day
evaluation download here (a Virtual Appliance is also available for
download here). uptime software's world-class support services are free
during this evaluation period to help customers drive value in their
environments.
