Heroix Longitude Nominated for Mass Technology Leadership Awards

Application performance and network monitoring capabilities noteworthy

Newton, MA – June 5, 2007 – Heroix, a leading provider of agentless, multiplatform application performance and network monitoring software, today announced that it has been nominated for Technology Developer Company of the Year as part of the 2007 Mass Technology Leadership Awards. The company’s flagship agentless monitoring software, Longitude, enables IT organizations to improve performance and monitor service level agreements (SLAs), without requiring software to be installed on each server. Longitude was first released in May of 2005 and has had three major releases since that time.

Heroix’s dedication to creating superior application performance and network monitoring products – and continually meeting the changing needs of its clients – is what led to the award nomination. 2006 was a particularly noteworthy year for Longitude with the introduction of two major software releases.

In April, V3 was released to measure the business impact of technology performance problems. This enables IT teams to focus on what matters most to their organization: effective management of critical application performance with minimal effort and lower costs. Specifically, Longitude V3 expanded its service level agreement reporting and added event correlation for root cause analysis, baseline workload data for threshold adjustment, scalable notifications and corrective actions, and expanded monitoring coverage.

Then in December, Heroix took Longitude further with its release of V4 which offers immediate troubleshooting, faster time-to-resolution, and increased uptime. This helps companies achieve top business performance without overly burdening lean IT staff. More specifically, Heroix added a real time statistics dashboard, and expanded its network monitoring coverage to any SNMP-based devices via an intuitive graphical studio. V4 also added consolidation of Windows Event logs, as well as a new archived report portal which enables IT organizations to publish reports for viewing by business managers and other non-IT stakeholders.

Furthermore, each update was seamlessly integrated into the product to allow customers to reap the benefits without lengthy product configuration or training.

“Heroix is pleased to be nominated for the Mass Technology Leadership Awards again this year,” said Heroix President Rick Lane. “Our ability to grow to meet the emerging needs of our customers with each release of our product fulfills the Mass Technology Leadership Council’s goal of fostering entrepreneurship and promoting the success of companies that develop and deploy technology across industry sectors.”

The 2007 Mass Technology Leadership Awards continue a ten-year tradition, begun by the New England Business and Technology Association (NEBATA), of honoring the region's technology and business leaders. The Mass Technology Leadership Council was formed by the combination of NEBATA and the Mass Software Council. Finalists for the award are expected to be announced in July, and winners will be named on October 18, 2007.
