HyPerformix Announces IPS Capacity Manager to Help Eliminate IT Fire Fighting; Product Ensures Enterprise Applications Meet Ongoing Service-Level Performance Requirements

Posted on: Thursday, 28 July 2005, 12:00 CDT

HyPerformix, a leading application performance and capacity management software company, today announced IPS Capacity Manager, software designed to help eliminate IT fire fighting by providing a forward-looking performance and capacity view across key applications and IT infrastructures.

"For many enterprises, it is difficult to maintain acceptable service levels because IT infrastructures and workloads constantly change due to the introduction of new hardware, software, and shifting demand," said HyPerformix Chief Technology Officer, Dr. Bruce Huang. "To combat this issue, companies are increasing their efforts to proactively manage service levels and changing business processes by focusing more attention on predictive performance management. IPS Capacity Manager was designed specifically for this purpose."

IPS Capacity Manager helps to ensure application performance by creating models of the production environment and proactively evaluating multiple forward-looking scenarios based on future workload projections. This process helps the business select the best solution to balance performance, utilization, and cost, while reducing reactionary measures.

Used in the production phase of the application life cycle, IPS Capacity Manager proactively manages performance and capacity of critical business applications. The software provides response-time and capacity forecasting from the end-user perspective and can predict performance problems before they impact the business. By managing application performance proactively, organizations can mitigate risks, reduce fire fighting, avoid unnecessary IT spending, increase time-to-market, and improve overall system performance.

"Today's applications are an increasingly complex aggregate of many moving parts, and problems lurk not only in the code, but in architecture, platform configuration, links with dependent internal or external systems, and infrastructure capacity. Resolving these issues in production by throwing hardware at them is the most costly and ineffective approach possible. Yet because hardware is cheap, it is often the remedy of choice." Jean-Pierre Garbani, VP and Research Director at Forrester Research, Performance Management and the Application Life Cycle, February 11, 2005.

IPS Capacity Manager integrates with performance monitoring products offered by leading systems management vendors such as IBM Tivoli, HP, and Mercury -- extending the value of these investments by adding predictive capacity planning functionality. IPS Capacity Manager is part of a complete family of products spanning all phases of the application life cycle.

IPS Capacity Manager is available immediately. For more information, please call 1-800-759-6333.
