In June, Heroix announced Longitude V5 which focuses on providing organizations the ability to manage IT performance and business service levels. New features accelerate time to deployment, deliver immediate insight, and expedite the resolution of IT performance problems:

• Customized real-time dashboards, reports and alerts, along with topology based-views and annotations for reports and service level agreements (SLAs), make it easy to identify the relationship between certain events and their impact on business service levels.


• Longitude V5 utilizes synthetic transactions to measure how users actually interact with Web-based applications, and shows the relationship between the user experience and the underlying infrastructure components that support the associated business service.


• In response to the growing prevalence of virtualized computing environments, Longitude V5 monitors the virtual machine images themselves as well as the impact of those virtual machines on the physical hardware.
