Agentless Monitoring Success Fuels Growth for Heroix

Longitude Software Sales Drive Quarterly Revenue up 25% Year Over Year

Newton, MA - May 11, 2006 – Heroix, a leading provider of application performance monitoring software, today announced that overall revenue for Q1 of 2006 was up 25% over Q1 of last year. Heroix officials attributed the increase to sales momentum from the company’s Longitude agentless application monitoring software, which was first introduced in May of 2005.

“Longitude answers a need in the marketplace for agentless monitoring software with comprehensive application support, rich reporting and graphing, and multiplatform coverage, that is also less expensive, easier to use, and quicker to deploy than traditional agent-based monitoring software,” said Heroix CEO and Founder Howard Reisman.

Heroix recently released Longitude V3, featuring several significant enhancements that help IT staff understand the business impact of technical events, including:

• Advanced event correlation
• Baseline workload data for tailoring thresholds
• Scalable notification and action capabilities
• Monitoring of Dell OpenManage, HP Systems Insight Manager, Cisco devices and other SNMP devices

Longitude has won praise for its unique combination of robust monitoring and usability. Tom Harrop, Project Manager at Fallon Clinic, who uses Heroix software products to manage a 2000-user network and extranet, said, “Longitude was easy to install and use. We felt Longitude gave us the best monitoring value for our investment. The use of Heroix products helps us support the company’s strategic initiative to become a nearly paperless clinic.”

Jasmine Noel of Ptak, Noel & Associates, wrote recently that Longitude “neatly handles the technological complexity found in both mid-sized enterprises and large departments of global enterprises … Yet Longitude is also very quick to implement because of its agent-less data collection architecture and its integration of monitoring, alerting, SLA, reporting, and graphing into a single package.” (Download brief in PDF form)
