About Evident Software

Evident Software provides real-time performance monitoring and troubleshooting,
capacity planning, and chargeback software for high performance infrastructures
and middleware environments. Without real-time analytics it is impossible to run
at optimal performance and contain operational risk - scale and complexity
overwhelm current tools and methods. Evident`s patent pending, CEP-based
software pipeline transforms data in real-time to analyze cross-domain resource
allocation, usage, performance and cost for both real-time and historical data.
The rich internet-based GUI in the solution overcomes the limitations in other
tools and methods by correlating and transforming this data into innovative
visualizations, enabling IT architects, operations and developers, and the lines
of business, to manage operational risk, scale dynamically, and offer cloud or
utility services. Evident`s partners include Oracle, IBM and DataSynapse.
Evident Software is a privately held company headquartered in Newark, NJ.
