ST. LOUIS--(Business Wire)--
Connectria Corporation, a global provider of complex managed hosting services,
announced today its partnership with CCSS, a worldwide leader in IBM i System
Performance Monitoring, Message Management and Wireless Solutions. As a result
of the partnership, Connectria`s world-class data centers have adopted two key
products within CCSS`s portfolio, QSystem Monitor (QSM) and QMessage Monitor
(QMM). 

QSystem Monitor is a fully graphical, networked, real-time performance
management tool. All critical areas of performance can be automatically and
centrally monitored as well as providing easy-to-use historical summaries, disk
analysis reports, cache battery monitoring and user based performance
statistics. QMessage Monitor is a centralized solution for IBM i message
management, providing complete automation and compliance. The extensive
filtering, answering, and escalating of messages helps eliminate the need for
manual monitoring across Connectria`s customer base. 

With Connectria`s extensive IBM Power Systems and iSeries presence within the
managed hosting market and the quality iSeries system monitoring and message
management of CCSS, a partnership is a natural fit. 

"Given our high degree of specialization in IBM iSeries environments, we clearly
recognize the value CCSS brings to our data centers and customers" said Rich
Waidmann, President and CEO, Connectria, Inc. "The CCSS QSM and QMM products
enable Connectria to ensure the consistent reliability and performance that our
iSeries customers expect." 

Ray Wright, CEO of CCSS says, "The partnership with Connectria demonstrates the
benefits that our CCSS solutions can bring to large iSeries environments within
the outsourcing industry. We`re delighted to be working with the team at
Connectria and share their commitment to delivering exceptionally high standards
of service for their customers."
