PreEmptive Solutions Announces Immediate Support for Application Monitoring and Management Inside the Microsoft Azure Services Platform

Dotfuscator® and the Runtime Intelligence Service Combine to Provide Software
Plus Services Instrumentation Solution to Improve Application Quality, Value and
Service Level Assurance
NEW ORLEANS--(Business Wire)--
PreEmptive Solutions, the leading provider of solutions to protect, monitor and
manage software development investments, announced here today the immediate
availability of application monitoring and management support inside the
Microsoft Azure Services Platform.

Development teams can now track Azure application feature usage to improve
adoption and quality. ISVs can integrate Azure evaluation software usage into
Microsoft Dynamics CRM to increase win rates. Enterprises can integrate Azure
application runtime data into Microsoft Business Intelligence Solutions to
improve business agility.

"Application developers targeting Azure must find innovative ways to measure
usage, adoption and end-user patterns," said Gabriel Torok, CEO PreEmptive
Solutions. "This visibility into application resource utilization and stability
within the cloud will help their organizations establish and manage appropriate
service level requirements, as well as anticipate market requirements instead of
just reacting to them."

According to Gartner, Inc. "Tools unaware of the target runtime environment,
requiring manual intervention to deploy and manage applications, are not
cloud-enabled," in How to Identify a Cloud Application Development Tool 2Q09,
June 17, 2009, Eric Knipp. Among the report`s recommendations were "Pick tools
that integrate with cloud system infrastructure natively, rather than creating
your own. The capabilities of cloud system infrastructure are evolving, and
"rolling your own" tool requires accepting the risks associated with the dynamic
nature of the target platform."

The Dotfuscator Suite can inject feature and session-level instrumentation into
compiled .NET components running inside the Microsoft Azure Services Platform.
The runtime data can be streamed to one or more end points including PreEmptive
Solutions Runtime Intelligence Service - a software plus service solution that
provides near real-time dashboards, alerts and usage analytics.

In addition to supporting Azure deployed components, the Dotfuscator Suite
supports monitoring and instrumentation of .NET components targeting Microsoft
Silverlight, the Microsoft .NET Compact Framework and every version of the .NET
framework including the beta versions of 4.0.

A starter set of instrumentation capabilities needed to implement monitoring and
management support for the Azure Services Platform is also included in the
community edition of Dotfuscator recently shipped with Microsoft`s Visual
Studio® 2010 beta 1.
