New Relic RPM Becomes the First Application Management Solution to Offer Integrated Production Profiling for Java Web

SAN FRANCISCO, CA, Apr 22 (MARKET WIRE) --
New Relic, Inc., the leading software-as-a-service provider of
application performance management (APM) solutions, today announced that
its flagship product RPM has become the first APM tool to offer live
thread profiling for production Java web applications. By combining
application monitoring and troubleshooting with on-demand thread
profiling, RPM now enables Java web application deployment teams to
diagnose performance bottlenecks to the exact line of code, without
paying the performance penalty typically associated with profilers.

"This is a breakthrough capability that confirms RPM's effectiveness as a
go-to performance management solution for operations and development
teams," said Lew Cirne, New Relic founder and CEO. "As more and more IT
teams adopt agile practices, developers are playing a greater role in
application deployment and management. It's important that they not only
have tools that allow them to collaborate with their operations
colleagues on production monitoring, but also to quickly see into
application code when needed. Production profiling makes it easier to
remediate specific threading issues or to ensure that the application and
the underlying code are optimized for peak performance."

"We work with clients that are deploying business-critical applications
and the solutions we deliver for them meet very high standards for
performance and availability," said Otis Gospodnetic, founder of
Sematext, a leading consulting and development services provider of
enterprise-class search technology solutions based on Apache Lucene. "The
performance management capabilities provided by New Relic RPM allow us to
work closely with these organizations to monitor application health and
availability, identify potential issues, and make ongoing improvements.
Additionally, the new thread profiling feature can make it even easier to
optimize the application at the code level and ensure that it's meeting
business and performance goals."

With the simple push of a button, RPM can record executing threads for a
specified length of time in a live application, even while continuing to
monitor performance. When the thread profiling session is completed, RPM
provides a call stack and reports the call frequency for each thread in
the stack. Because performance issues in multi-threaded applications can
be associated with the timing of events, a thread trace provided by a
profiler can offer a deeper and more comprehensive understanding of an
application's behavior. RPM profiling results may indicate problems with
application code or with code executing in some of the application stack
such as the application server, JVM, or application middleware and
frameworks.

Until now, profiling has typically been used prior to deployment as part
of the application testing process because traditional profiling tools
can introduce excessive performance overhead, which will slow the running
application and impact the user experience. New Relic RPM is a production
web application performance management solution and is now the first APM
tool to provide real-time thread profiling, enabling development teams to
find performance bottlenecks at the code level, uncover flaws in the
application stack (virtual machine, app server, integration middleware,
and more), reduce CPU utilization, and improve transaction response time,
all without the negative side effects seen in traditional solutions.

Production profiling is available immediately at no additional charge for
customers who have subscribed to RPM to manage Java applications. Until
September 1, 2010 it will be included in all subscription levels of RPM
including the free RPM Lite version. After September 1, it will be a
feature of RPM Silver, Gold and Enterprise versions. To find out more
