Heroix Leverages Microsoft Partner Program to Deliver Cost-Effective Performance Monitoring

Braintree, MA - January 16, 2009 - Heroix, a leading provider of application performance and network monitoring software, today announced its renewed certification in the Microsoft Partner Program, recognizing Heroix’s expertise and ongoing impact in the technology marketplace. As a Certified partner, Heroix has demonstrated expertise with Microsoft technologies and proven its ability to meet customers’ needs.

Microsoft Certified Partners receive technology access, training and support, giving them a competitive advantage in the channel. Over the past decade, Heroix has leveraged the relationship to help define the latest generation of application performance monitoring and reporting software. Heroix Longitude offers an agentless approach to monitoring IT performance and Service Level Agreements, by providing reporting, alerting, automated correction, and SLA monitoring for applications, servers, IT infrastructure, networks, and SNMP devices to help companies ensure optimal business performance.

“Longitude’s agentless architecture helps IT organizations maximize performance and meet their service level obligations, while helping them save money during tight economic times,” said Heroix President Rick Lane. “Compared with agent-based software, agentless monitoring involves much lower acquisition costs, easier deployment and quicker time to value that can help IT organizations tighten their belts without sacrificing service and availability.”

Agentless software works without the need to install software agents on the systems being monitored. As a result, agentless software is able to contribute to improved IT service delivery without depleting server resources. Because agents are not necessary on the monitored systems, agentless software also takes less time to install and deploy, saving time for IT staff. Agentless software is also generally less expensive to license than agent-based products.

Heroix offers a 14-day free trial of Longitude as well as an online Flash demo. Longitude may be purchased online at www.heroix.com/store. Please consult the Longitude pricing page or call 800-229-6500 or 781-848-1701 for Longitude pricing.
